Experience the best of
Bali with Withlocals

"We have taken about 10 tours with With Locals, and it ties with our tour of Morocco as the very best your we've ever taken. Wayan, his family, and his friends made us feel like family. We were driven to their home in a village close to three volcanoes, and greeted with a delicious breakfast of traditional foods, and at the end of a 4 hour hike we were treated to a bigger feast of traditional foods and fresh fruit before being driven back to our hotel. Wayan speaks excellent English and has a great sense of humor. My husband has a background in agriculture, and as we hiked through the lush jungle then through the beautiful terraced rice paddies Wayan pointed out the different trees and plants, explaining how they grow and what they produce as well as answering my husband's almost continuous questions. We had such a fun and interesting time that we were sorry to leave."

"I found Id after a long search on the internet. I had heard about Malas before and was really curious about the whole philosophy behind it and how it is used. You can buy a Mala in Bali somewhere but I wanted to create my own. Id was the only one that I found who offered this kind of workshop. It was amazing. Id was so sweet, kind and fun. I was able to choose my own pearls and created the Mala the way I wanted to. Id knows a lot about the Mala and loves to share her wisdom. My Mala turned out beautiful."

"We had an amazing time with Wayan. He shared a lot of his knowledge about the plants, rice farming and the life in Jatiluwih. Stopping by a local farmer's house to have a coffee and having a great lunch at his home made the expirence very personal. A highlight has been the lunch consisting of all the plants we just saw in the dschungel. Starting with the first chat, until the end of the day it has been an awesome time."

"Id was a great host for a fun and slightly different activity. Our mala making workshop helped me learn more about balinese culture, was relaxing, and now I have a great memento of my trip. I’m so glad I found the time to book Id for this!"

"My family and I had a brilliant time with the 'Wayan' trio and would recommend it to anyone coming to Bali to explore the local culture. Wayan led us through the local beliefs and how it relates to their way of life. From the moment we areived at Wayans home he was very welcoming and it felt very relaxing. Our favourite part was the lunch, best food we had in Bali and everything was picked fresh. Wayan was happy to change the itinerary according to having 2 young children (but also the weather as there was thunderstorms). Thank you! "

"I've been to Jatiluwih few times but the trip with Pak Wayan and Made has to be the most memorable one! Not only that both of them is very professional and friendly, but they are also real working farmers who are very knowledgeable and passionate about the whole farming life. This tour is far from a regular walking tour, but rather, a dive into real farmer life and their daily life. Will recommend this tour for those who prefer a more authentic experience "

"I had a wonderful time with Id! She’s absolutely someone I would love to see again when I return to Bali. It was a lovely experience as she invited me into her home and spoke some of the best English I’ve encountered in Bali. And my mala turned out excellent with some personality haha. I may stick to letting the pros make these in the future. "

"This activity has been one of my favourites in Bali, I love Malas and Id is an expert!! She is such a kind person and I really appreciate her knowledge and her patience!! She has so many options for your mala, it's totally customized!! She also treated us with some fresh mango juice, we loved it!! Definitely recommended!!!! Thank you again for everything!! "

"Lively morning sitting with women from around the world sharing stories and creating a beautiful mala. Id is such a gorgeous spirit who makes you feel so welcome and at peace in her presence 🙏 Highly recommended 😃 Thankyou lovely Id 🙏"

"What a fun class! I’ve always loved these necklaces and even bought a cheap one in Bali last year. Unfortunately it started coming apart, so I wanted to replace it with a quality necklace. What better way than to make it myself (pretty much for the same price you’d pay at a boutique). Id is incredibly patient and calm. I needed to change my date and time, and she was super accommodating. Her house is a peaceful place to relax and have fun creating something!"
