Planning a day to explore Bali can feel overwhelming—there’s so much to see and experience. This private, full-day customized tour offers a fantastic way to tick off Bali’s must-visits while enjoying the comfort of your own vehicle and the expertise of a local guide. Plus, the inclusion of a professional drone service means you’ll walk away with breathtaking aerial photos and videos to preserve your memories.
What we love most about this tour is its flexibility—you can tailor the stops to match your interests, whether it’s temples, waterfalls, or scenic rice terraces. The knowledgeable driver keeps things smooth and informative, making every stop feel meaningful. The drone footage truly sets this experience apart, giving you Hollywood-caliber shots of Bali’s most iconic sights. Another bonus: the competitive price of $40 per person offers incredible value considering the personalized service, flexible itinerary, and aerial photography.
A potential consideration is that this tour covers a wide range of locations, so it’s quite packed. If you prefer a slower pace or more time at each spot, you might find it a bit rushed, especially with the number of stops included. However, for those eager to see a lot in one day with high-quality photography, this is an excellent pick.
This experience suits adventurous travelers, photo enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a comprehensive Bali day tour that doesn’t skimp on individuality or memorable visuals.
