Testimonials

It was an awesome experience. I was able to see a different side of Bali and experience an unforgettable adventure in Desa Manggis. Gede opened his home for us, and made sure we have everything we need to be comfortable and have a great stay in his home. It was a pleasure talking with Gede and getting to know him and his family. I will absolutely do the experience again, and I recommend anyone to do the same 🙂

I had an excellent experience on this tour. I booked it for my daughter and myself. Having been to Bali four times before, I wanted to explore the authentic side of Bali—seeing homes, helping with cooking, and meeting extended family. We were not disappointed. In just one night and two days, I learned more about the people and culture than in my previous visits. This tour is as real and raw as it gets. I highly recommend supporting this tour

Gede and Mira are absolutely wonderful people! And although I love the beach clubs and infinity pools, it was so awesome getting a true, authentic experience of Bali that you don’t typically see on Instagram. Manggis is also a stunning area of Bali, with natural waterfalls, rice terraces, and even distant views of the ocean. I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn more about actual Balinese culture and lifestyle😉

Gede & Mira were the best hosts! This was such an amazing experience. They welcome you in and teach you so much about traditional Balinese culture, something I don’t think most people who visit Bali get to see. You will encounter jungle things (ei bugs & a traditional outside toilet) but it’s very much worth the experience. If you want an amazing off the beaten path experience and to truly learn from the locals, this is a must do.

An unforgettable experience! Gede and his family welcomed us into their home, providing insights into Balinese culture and daily life. From bathing at waterfalls to tasting fresh coconut sap, we immersed ourselves in authentic experiences. Watching Arak distillation and sharing meals with the family made it truly special. Highly recommended for those seeking genuine connections and unique adventures! 🌿🌺

If you’re looking for something different, I highly recommend Away From Home village tour. It’s educational, and you get to taste the experience firsthand! Literally! 😝 tours offer an eye-opening experience, and their warm hospitality is truly remarkable! We recently booked the 2-day, 1-night village tour, and it left an unforgettable impression. This type of tour—authentic, raw, and immersed in local life—is exactly what my husband and I seek.

I had the most amazing five days (I felt 2 days was not enough so requested a longer stay) with Mira and Gede living as one of their family, partaking in events and activities in a remote area with no other tourists. Highlights were bathing under the waterfall, attending a ceremony in the village temple, understanding palm sugar making and Arak distilling. Thanks to all the family.🥰

I was lucky and could join two Balinese ceremonies, which was such a unique experience that I will never forget. I had a perfect time and made wonderful memories. Keep in mind that this is an honest and authentic experience with simple accommodations. You’ll learn about village life and get to know the real Indonesia. Joining this tour was the best decision I’ve made in a long time.🌿🌺
