We spent a lovely day touring Ubud with our very knowledgeable guide 'Eric' and our driver 'Hendra' they both went above and beyond to make our day memorable and special ,we have used Discova during our time in Bali for airport/hotel transfers and for other tours we cannot recommend them highly enough.
We will definitely be recommending Discova to friends and family who will be visiting Bali in the near future and Eric and Hendra are great ambassadors for Discova also a quick mention of Alit who responded quickly and helpfully to any requests or questions we had.
We did three guided tours around Bali with Witri as our guide and Zain as our driver, and they were great!! We learned somuch about the culture and the places we visited. Everything went smoothly with the booking and organizing trough our hotel and the planing of the activities. Even waiting on the traffic jams was fun with them and we could chat about so many things! Can only recommend Witri and Zain!
We had a lovely day with this being our second experience with Discova. Utama and Budi were fantastic and allowed us to be flexible on a 3 waterfall trip making the most of our day with stop offs. Time was never mentioned and as a family we had time and understanding to change and dry off and get plenty of pictures. Utama and Budi are a credit to Discova and the knowledge and information really gave us as a family an understanding of Bali culture and living during our day. A nice lunch and cold drinks on the bus made everything an enjoyable experience
Bali great, Discova guide and driver just as good. We booked a Bali tour through travel agency Tourcompass and their ground operator was Discova. Through 10 days of touring, staying at four locations, we had absolutely no issues. The tours were organised well and every day started on time. Our guide Made Suardana was very informative and spoke excellent English.
We had two experiences booked through our travel agent with Discova, and both fell well below expectations — nothing like what Discova promotes. From the very beginning, the tours were poorly managed: the guides gave little to no introductions, transport was unsafe, and the overall organisation was the worst we’ve ever experienced. We’ve travelled extensively throughout the region and can honestly say our trip to Bali was the most disappointing because of these tours.
I strongly advise customers to beware — what you are promised will not measure up to the reality. We raised detailed feedback with Discova, highlighting over 20 areas where the tours were misrepresented, yet we were told our expectations were “unrealistic” and that they saw no operational failures. This response shows a complete lack of accountability and concern for customer safety or satisfaction.
Based on our experience, we will never use Discova again. Our travel agent has also confirmed they will not be recommending Discova to NZ or AU clients going forward.
Sugi, our guide, was very friendly and accommodating. It was unfortunately raining for our tour, but we had umbrellas, and there were enough breaks in the rain to enjoy both temples, the monkey forest, and a little coffee shop in Bali.
muki our guide was great,he was informative and let us ask plenty of questions about our day with him.
He also offered us various stops and experiences while going to our final destination.
He was basically on call all afternoon and drove us to our door when the day was over.
We will definitely use Discova again.
We had an all day trip Ubud Tour and Ricepadi, had a great day with Utama, lovely temple lots of history provided, water fall and then lunch at Abian Desa was amazing.

Our Phuket islands tour was awesome. We left and first went to ice cream caves. Then onto James Bond island. Great sights and fantastic photo ops. From there we continued to the floating village where we were able to have a game of soccer with the local kids on a floating soccer field. Later we were treated to a sumptuous dinner before continuing on to see the bioluminescence at our final stop. Boat crew were amazing as was our guide Jimmy. Thanks for a great day out.

I did the Hanoi’s History Unveils tour with my guide Hung, excellent program and Hung was a great communicator with a fantastic knowledge of the history of Vietnam, he’s a thorough professional, as have the other tour guides been from Discova, can’t recommend the company and people highly enough

I had a wonderful experience on the Highlights of Hanoi Shared with my tour guide Sunny, he has so much knowledge and expertise and is happy to share it with you so I had a much bigger understanding about the history of Hanoi.
I thoroughly recommend him.

We’ll be sure to pass on your lovely feedback to him. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another Discova journey soon!
Absolutely amazing experience touring Bali with Joe and Artha. Joe was our guide and his English was excellent (better than most back home) — clear, friendly, and full of great insights. He made everything easy to understand and added so much local knowledge and personality to each stop, including the stunning waterfall, the fascinating Monkey Forest, and the beautiful coffee plantation.
Artha was our driver, and he was incredible behind the wheel. Bali’s traffic can be chaotic, but Artha navigated it all flawlessly—without even needing google maps. His knowledge of the roads and shortcuts was seriously impressive, and he made the whole journey smooth and comfortable in amongst the chaos of Bali’s roads.
Both Joe and Artha were professional, warm, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Bali and looking for an authentic, stress-free tour with a great company (Discova). Thanks again, guys.

We did the the tour of the Garuda wisnu Kencana cultural park and the kecak dancers
Unfortunately our guide although very nice talked extremely fast and was very difficult to understand,. We were very disappointed at the cultural park as we had very little time to look at everything and read the signage and would have loved to buy a souvenir, but we were ushered very quickly back to the car, only to wait almost three hours before the dancers began
I am sure our guide was very knowledgeable but we felt very rushed which spoilt our day.

Dear Ann,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience at Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park and the Kecak Dance performance felt rushed and did not meet your expectations.
While we're pleased to hear that your guide was kind, we regret that the pacing and communication impacted your overall enjoyment of the tour. Your comments regarding the limited time at the cultural park and the long wait before the show are valid, and we understand how this could have affected your day. We’ll be reviewing this experience with our local team to ensure we better balance the itinerary and allow guests the time to fully appreciate each stop.
We value your feedback, and it will help us improve how we design and deliver our tours moving forward. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Warm regards,
The Discova Team
Last Oct 10,2024 around 1:10am we arrived Kuala Lumpur, our flight was not delayed, but when we pick up our luggage it was missing so we were looking for it and went to the customs maybe just 15-20 minutes before we get out the main arrival entrance and it was very quiet only 2 man waiting with the names but our name was not there, also before taking another transport a lady whose helping all the passenger looking for their pick up help us and even got our itinerary and contact your end, but she said no one is picking up, also I tried 2 numbers as attached but I got only an answering machine , that I didn’t wait because it will cost me more money from my roaming, as I said to you, if your client confirm their coming they should wait at least until all the passenger on that flight left or ask some airport security to make sure that everyone ifs gone, or give us a call or message or email to confirm, as you can see in my calls that was 2:46am we’re still in the airport. My husband contact number at that moment is not contactable because he’s having problem with his roaming, but I tried ringing, we paid the person took us in the Oasia hotel for 350 ringgit, and asking for refund, all my testimony to them is not acceptable very bad experience to us and ended up nothing. So if you find a pick up make sure to ask them to wait until the last person out who knows there’s a problem in the custom. And if it’s not contactable find a way of all sort of information you can have before they go.

My wife and I who are both in their nineties decided to take the East Bali tour, the driver who goe's by the name Sony and the guide we called Quack Quack because of her constant talking never left my wife alone for one moment and the sense of humor these two had was a breath of fresh air. Sony became my expert camera man who did all my filming for me, nothing was too much trouble for these two.
In conclusion this would have to be the best experience we have had since leaving Australia on the 17th of July.

Hi Gordon,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your wife enjoyed the East Bali tour. It’s heartwarming to know that Sony and "Quack Quack" made the experience so memorable and fun with their sense of humor and dedication. We're especially glad that Sony could capture those special moments for you.
We truly appreciate your kind words and hope that the rest of your travels have been just as enjoyable. Safe travels, and we look forward to welcoming you both on another adventure
