Indonesia Travel Agents

Our Specialist: Theresa
Theresa was so awesome from the beginning! As someone who lives in Bali herself, she was able to give us honest opinion on what the places are about and how long the wait time would be for pictures, and from there we were able to easily determine if it's worth our time. She created a perfect itinerary exactly what we wanted and covers all the things we wanted to see, even planned a small secret birthday celebration and massage for my gf and her best friend.

She created a perfect itinerary exactly what we wanted and covers all the things we wanted to see, even planned a small secret birthday celebration and massage for my gf and her best friend. Throughout the trip she always check up on us to make sure the trip is going as planned and that we're satisfied with everything! She is definitely the best specialist we could ask for on this Bali trip!

Our Driver: Agung
Agung from the very first time we met him, he's always with a smile. Despite driving us all day he never says no to any of our request if we all of a sudden need to go somewhere. No matter how early how late, he's always at the spot way early ready to take us on our everyday journey. He used to be a tour guide, so that's a huge bonus! He was able to suggest us different hidden spots and other things to explore on the go, but at the same time totally respect what we want. And that really made our already perfect trip even more perfect!! Not only that, he genuinely cares about us. In the middle one of us not feeling well he would go out of his way to find medicine for us, with his own money! Or provide whatever he had on him, like vitamins or cough drops. He was like a Bali dad to us taking care of us for 7 day straight which made this trip that much more special! We would always ask him to eat lunch and dinner with us, he didn't even try to take advantage, hed always say he's full or that's too expensive he doesn't want us to treat. We always have to force him haha. When we arrive at airport on departure day, we all even teared up a little that our journey with Agung came to an end. He is such a special driver that I'll never forget!

Theresa and Agung are both amazing that made our trip so wonderful!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable Bali trip!!!

Theresa was fantastic! We only started planning this trip about 3 weeks before we planned to go, and she made it happen. She gave us a great first draft of our itinerary based on the online survey we took, and then helped us to fine tune it until our trip was exactly what we wanted. She understood the vibe we were going for, the mix of activities, and then when we were in Bali, she checked on us almost every day. We loved the cultural experience in Sideman, the sunrise hike up Mount Batur, ... read more

Theresa was fantastic! We only started planning this trip about 3 weeks before we planned to go, and she made it happen.

She understood the vibe we were going for, the mix of activities, and then when we were in Bali, she checked on us almost every day. We loved the cultural experience in Sideman, the sunrise hike up Mount Batur, the scuba diving in Gili Air, and the beach hopping around Bukit Peninsula. She also surprised us with massages at two of our hotels! Also, a big shout out to our driver Bagus - he was always on time and very fun to get to know! He answered all our questions about Bali and Indonesia and even taught us some phrases in both languages. After this trip, we want to go back! And would definitely want to work with Theresa and Bagus again if we could :)

Ana and the team at Shanti helped us plan and book a phenomenal trip through Bali! She had all the local knowledge needed to help us customize our itinerary to our interests and prioritize activities that worked for us. She set us up with amazing local guides, including our driver for the week (Rusna!), a trail guide on Mt. Batur, and a guide through the highlights of Ubud.

Visit Goa Gajah Cave

Indonesia

This was a super super touristy place. As one of our first popular temple visits we did, we weren't aware and equipped to stop a guy from coercing us into a tour and insisting on payment at the end. We felt trapped in a guided tour we didn't actually ask for and in a show of performative religion that didn't feel respectful to the actual roots of the place.

Visit the UNESCO Jatiluwih Ricefield

One of our favorite stops on the trip! An absolutely gorgeous walk through rice terraces with scenic mountain views beyond. We would have loved to spend more time enjoying this place!

Our trip to Indonesia was a true reprieve from the stresses of regular life, a perfect vacation. Our KimKim specialist Ana organized several lovely events for us but also maintained a comfortable flexibility, listening well and helping us refund things when our energy wasn't up to the big tasks.

Our trip to Indonesia was a true reprieve from the stresses of regular life, a perfect vacation.

In particular, our driver throughout the trip, Parma, was one of the kindest, most splendid humans we have ever met and want him to get as much praise possible for hosting us so well. The Komodo Island boat cruise stood out as a spectacular highlight of the trip (we saw Komodo dragons, Mantas, turtles, soft coral, and unreal sunsets). Our guide Tony also stood out as a spectacular and knowledgable friend.

Our driver Komang was always very helpful and professional
