Patience with you getting up and down the mountain, break fast at the top, ending with a well needed coffee tour. Had the most amazing views.Really happy that I went with this company.

Highly recommended private tour with Parno. I messaged three companies and he was the first one to respond. Others took 2 hours to get back to me. Easy process, the driver arrive on time. Coffee on arrival which was much needed. Parno let me take my time with the hike, took as many breaks as I needed. Once we got to the top, he organised breakfast for me and gave me a blanket which was nice because it was freezing. If you interested in checking out Mount Batur, definitely get a private tour with Parno. Thank you Parno for a wonderful morning.
