the travel office did not share my contact number to the tour guide so when he arrived in hotel, he cannot reach me (i already left room), i contact the travel office asking for the tour guide but got delayed response.
when we start our journey, the tour guide said that since its raining, the waterfall is not recommended since there will be a lot of mud in the water, paddy view also not recommended, why would this not being informed to us in advance? at least to manage our expectation.
panglipuran is ok. the tour guide even deliver umbrellas to us when its raining. which is great.
unpleasant experience is when we being guided to restaurant Amorain Kintamani which at the beginning only introduced to us as buffet restaurant, where the food is not tasty and limited options of food, more to Indian food where we are not familiar with, at cost of 150++ IDR per pax. we offer the tour guide to lunch with us as well.
After eat, we go to 2nd floor and just realized that the restaurant also offer ala cart food, when we ask this to the tour guide, he's a bit startled on answeing, just saying that we might not like mujair fish (on contrary there is pasta, fried rice, at even affordable price and looks even better than the buffet).
other experience is acceptable, tour guide showing effort in providing cultural background explanation on Balinese local culture, and he is polite.
we do not got chance to visit pura since it was raining.
he drive us back to hotel at the end of the tour at 17.00.
