Bali Tours around our
Villa Orchid Bali

:: Bali Entry ::
Our tours recommendations with a few words about important landmarks and the most beautiful landscapes of Bali. Further information you will find in lots of Bali-guidebooks or you'll hear it from our guide Pak Recon.
 

Our tours are done in a comfortable and air-conditioned Kijang Bus by our experienced guide and driver Pak Recon. Pak Recon has great know-how in culture, religion and Bali at all. His English is very good and he is an experienced and careful driver.
Often Pak Recon is looking for the more unknown roads, to show our guests more interesting and idyllic ways.
Normally there is always a break of about one hour, - even "just sightseeing" makes hungry.
