Testimonials
Posted on S ImagawaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an unforgettable four-day trip with them. They are more than tour guides, they are great storytellers and bring out the best in local people. We support their activities from Japan :)Posted on Eunice ChuaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Agung was a very conscientious and caring guide throughout the trip. Enjoyed Bali with Five Pillars. Thanks for a wonderful experience.Posted on Mitsukuni KamiyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my 5th time in Bali and my 5-day trip with Five Pillar Experiences ranks by far the best. It was an unforgettable, enlightening experience. Five Pillar runs community development initiatives to support local heroes who are selfless in what they do and dedicate themselves to their local community in various ways. Most memorable part of my trip was a visit to school for children with special needs. In traditional Balinese culture, it is hard to accommodate such children as they are considered as bad karma. I did a home stay with a wholehearted local couple who runs the school. I was intrigued by her story on challenges she faced at starting the school with two orphan kids and now accommodating about 100 kids with various backgrounds. I also met countless other local heroes (yoga well-being lady, local spice lady, and mask-making guy, local tea/herb lady, natural incense elder man, organic cloth detergent young entrepreneur, young female farmer, local novel writer, local English teacher building community school, to name a few). They come from all walks from life to share unique, local stories with their passion. Local experiences I had at local palace, temple, house also provided good cultural context when meeting local heroes. Five Pillar Experiences welcomed us with warm hospitality and special access to local, authentic experiences. Special thanks to Agung (tour guide) for his professionalism in managing logistics, ensuring comfort of guests, trying to paraphrase what local heroes said in simple English (as some of us don’t understand English well). I always thought Bali was overrated travel destination overrun by tourists. This tour changed my impression of Bali. Bali has a special place in my heart. When departing after five day experience, some crews who accompanied us for the tour felt like friends. Suksma/Terima Kasih/ありがとう Om Swastyastu to all of youPosted on T InoueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First of all, I’ve experienced everything in spite of I’m handicapped man. Thank you for your great support ! Especially, I’ve impressed Ketut Sadia’s Homestay family because they support many handicapped kids for 20 years. I immitate their attitude like Kumon instructors. I think small changes of Local hero’s activities leads to big changes not only local areas but also other areas including Japan. I was convinced that their activities will change the world. Balinesian local hero received us as local heros in Japan. So we wouled like to do. I look forward to seeing you some day ! by Paradise ^_^Posted on 三澤茂毅Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best way to enjoy and feel true culture of Bali. Learning Balinese world through get in touch with local Balinese community, meet “local heroes”. Staff and coordinator are truly five starred hospitality, knowledgeable and fun to be with. Of course the experiences they arrange are unique, great to know and unforgettable. Just ask them for your trip if you need something special.Posted on 安西良太Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. i did very impressive experience with 5pillers staff! recommendable company!
