Travelled solo and never once felt like the odd one out. Transfers and check-ins were sorted before we arrived anywhere, which I had not expected at this price. Tell your friends to go before it gets busy.

The route sold it — Ubud, Gili T, Nusa Dua in 8 days without me planning a thing. Zamna Festival, day one was the day everyone had come for, and it delivered. Would book with them again without checking anywhere else first.
Imran Chawla, Thane

Paid, packed, turned up. That was genuinely the whole job. Back to Bali is the bit I keep describing to people who did not go. Would do it again with the same crew.
Shreya Sharma, Vadodara
-
Booked this one fairly late and still got a seat on the first batch. Food stops were picked by someone who actually eats there, not off a list. Would book with them again without checking anywhere else first.
Sahil Iyer, Chandigarh

Was deciding between two operators and picked this for the itinerary. No regrets. Stays were simple rather than fancy, clean, and always where they said they would be. Would do it again with the same crew.
