You can explore Bali via several excursions and guided tours by private car or Big Bike, boat or by air plane. Some of the top attractions are beaches, rice terraces, the famous Besakih Temple on the slopes of sacred Mount Agung, Lake Batur and its lively volcano, Ubud, Legian, Kuta, Nusa Dua, and the temples of Tanah Lot and Ulu Watu. Taking a tour of these places from a helicopter is recommended on your holiday vacation in Bali because of its unique experience. So, for such tours and private charters, approach Balivillas.com Service Center.

You can even think of visiting them via full day tours by car (8 to 10 hours taking minimum 2 people) that cost you US$45 to US$50 per person. This includes a multi-lingual guide, an air-conditioned private car, and all entrance fees excluding meals. I suggest not to go for those guides and drivers who charge low prices, as they tend to show only a few shops from where they get a commission on purchases.
