We had a wonderful day with our guide Gusde, who was incredibly friendly and dedicated not only to show us Tanah Lot and the Kecak performance, but also to share a part of balinese culture and traditions with us. We had a lot of traffic going from Tanah Lot to the Uluwatu Temple, but Gusde tried his best to make the trip as informative and interesting as possible, which was great! He dropped us off for a stroll at Suluban Beach and managed to get tickets for the earlier of the two Kecak performances, which wouldn't have been manageable timewise otherwise. Gusde was by far the best tour guide during our stay in Bali.

Great show specially for people who know Ramayan it’s a treat. Great energy. Would love to see Rama highlighted since he is the Hero of Ramayan. Also english narration for each scene will be helpful.

Great evening touring Tanah Lot with Gusti + other travellers! He was on time and super knowledgeable giving us great info on the tour. I would book again with this company!

Scenic views and stunning dance ! Special thanks to our guide Putu for his explanations ;)

It was just amazing , especially the atmosphere there
