Been visiting off and on for 2 years now and A lot of this is very accurate. Not negative at all. This guy is preparing you by being honest. There is this sharp contrast between how beautiful everything and everyone is....to all of a sudden you're just being herded around and pressured...quite strongly sometimes....to buy. They can get quite visibly upset about it sometimes lol. That drastic change in the middle of a tour is very jarring because chances are you've been spending and tipping and being generous the entire time you've been in Bali. No need to crank the pressure up. HA!😅Anyway. Those tours definitely need a better approach. They'd probably make waaay more money in the process

As Indonesian I can say that your guide/information useful. I have to agree with south Bali, those areas you mentioned are crowded. North Bali is better if you want to experience less touristy aspect of Bali. Sure there are lots of hotels there, but none of them belong to big hotel chain (eg: Hyatt, Hilton, Mercure etc). The price of goods up north is also way cheaper than south. The drawback would be distance. It took 3-4 hours of drive to get to north Bali (Buleleng, Singaraja or Lovina) but on the plus side, you'll be rewarded with nice mountain scenery while driving. And about tap water... If you really have to drink/use it, just make sure to boil it first then it's mostly safe.

As a solo traveller who only stays in hostels I would never recommend mad monkey. Stayed there for 9 days in Thailand... Its always crowded since it has capacity of 80-100 beds, cant even have a decent convo with all the music playing. Will be going to Gili T at end of month, I will definitely go check check whether MM here has the same commercialized vibe.

Ok I watched this clip before I came to Bali. Now I have been here 3 months and visited some of the places covered in this clip. Some of the cons are well justified. However in reality the experiences are much more positive then depicted in the clip. For example Tegalalang Rice tarraces i have visited 3x already being in Canggu good 1h drive away. I always go alone with my son no tours. Its a spectacullar place worth every minute.

That's why we always bring extra cash, just so we can support the locals. Damn Colinizers do nothing but go invade other people's country, culture, and enjoy all of the benefits, only to complain, SMH!!! 👀🤦🏾‍♂️😡 #Colinizers #CultureVultures

MMM, interesting. I have just come back home to Surabaya, Java after 3 and a half weeks away, 3 of those weeks in Bali. We went to Pemuteran and Amed, keeping away from the extreme tourist areas. Although I am not Indonesian, I guess most of the locals think "we" are almost that. I love all the arts and crafts BUT do NOT follow me around in a shop if I happen to go in to one! I hate that. I also hated the rice fields - they were beautiful without people but when we went a few years ago (were taken there by an Indonesian), we were swamped by tourists although I did quite enjoy sitting in a cafe and having something while looking out on the ricefields. We do local things and although I like to mix with tourists (of course, I am not one), I really enjoy going to people's homes and one can do that when one has local friends.

Ryan, I so appreciate your tips and thorough walkthrough of your experience. I'm planning a trip and this is exactly what I want to avoid so thank you!. I think we book tours because we are worried about language barriers or accessibility issues but a little research and insight into the process helps immensely with planning and avoiding falling into tourist traps. We did a tour in Istanbul and though the driver and tour guides were friendly, we just hated being driven to shops for jewelry and leather - being coerced into buying or made to feel weird for staying in the bus during those shopping stops. I also think that the Instagram culture is heavy and slowly wearing off and folks genuinely want to enjoy the vibe, get some fresh air, and soak it all in without needing to spend a fortune for Instagram photos.
