It was an awesome experience. I was able to see a different side of Bali and experience an unforgettable adventure in Desa Manggis. Gede opened his home for us, and made sure we have everything we need to be comfortable and have a great stay in his home. It was a pleasure talking with Gede and getting to know him and his family. I will absolutely do the experience again, and I recommend anyone to do the same :)

I booked this tour for my daughter and myself. I have been to Bali 4 times and wanted to experience the real bali, seeing their homes, helping them cook, meeting the extended family and so much more. We were not disappointed, I learnt more in 1 night, 2 days about the people and the culture than I had in my previous 4 visits. Gede and Mira, your hospitality into your home and village was amazing, your dad's cooking amazing. Learning about the process of Arak, not for the faint hearted , the well known smelly fruit, which you are the only one that eats in your family, I think that says a lot, yes the Durian. Feeding the cow, cutting feed for him, certainly a first. Eating at the village warang, real authentic local food. Mira did a fabulous job of doing our make up, hair and dressing us in traditional clothing. Beautiful memories we have of this experience. I could go on and on, but you have to experience the real and raw tour. If you looking for nature and culture filled experience, please support this tour. Gede gives back so much to his village . If you looking for comfort and luxury, don't book but if you want to understand the real way of life and people, please book. Gede, Mira don't change anything on your tour it is as real and raw as it gets. Dianne and kerry

AW Collection tours are amazingly an eye opener and their hospitality was so warming! We booked the village 2 days 1 night tour and the experience was something we could never forget! Arwy and his team (family) made sure everything was comfortable for us, and the humble home cooked meals were delicious! This kind of tour is something both my husband I always look for, it's authentic, raw and living like the locals. - We are not into those instagrammable overrated places. If you like to experience something different, we highly recommend this village tour by them because it's so educational and you get to taste the experience too! Literally! 😝 Thank you for your kind hospitality and we would definitely like to come back again for some of the traditional ceremonies we missed!

Staying with a Balinese family was the highlight of my trip. It was an incredible opportunity to witness their way of life up close and personal. The genuine hospitality and kindness extended by my host family made me feel like a part of their own. From sharing delicious home-cooked meals to engaging in meaningful conversations, I truly felt the embrace of Balinese traditions and values. One of the most awe-inspiring moments was witnessing a traditional Balinese ceremony. The vibrant colors, intricate rituals, and the deep spirituality that permeated the air left me in awe. Being able to participate and witness such a sacred event was a privilege that I will forever cherish. The tour itself was expertly curated, allowing me to explore the lesser-known gems of Bali. From visiting hidden waterfall nestled in lush forests to taking a bath in teh reiver. The knowledgeable and friendly guide shared captivating stories and insights, adding depth to the overall experience. I highly recommend AWay From Home tour to anyone seeking an immersive and genuine Bali adventure. This tour package goes beyond the typical tourist destinations and allows you to truly connect with the heart and soul of Bali. It is an opportunity to create lasting memories and gain a deeper understanding of this incredible culture.
