Choose Donn as your guide :) Donn was very kind and attentive, guiding us up the hike, helping us maintain a good pace, and encouraging us! He also patiently waited for anyone who fell behind and kept the group together. :)He speaks excellent English, which allowed him to tell us about the history of Bali and the religious tradition linked to cockfighting – very interesting! Highly recommended. Luca S2025-08-13Verified Trekking Batur Ottimo tour con la fantastica guida Donn. Gentilissimo, ha sempre aspettato quando qualcuno rimaneva indietro ed era disponibile per qualsiasi cosa.
