★Arrive early at Tanah Lot (your final stop) to secure the best sunset photography spots before other tour groups arrive
★Ask your guide about the coffee plantation's lesser-known varieties—luwak coffee is famous but estate coffees offer better value

Is okay only. the carvings on the main temple wall was nice but feel rush, and Tariq the guide hard to hear sometimes. The tour in Athens was more better.
