Been knowing Wayan Juliana since 2010, when I was travelling to Bali with my relatives. He is very kind person that always on time with the schedule. Always introduce us with good experience, especially in Ubud area. I really like the rafting there, the rafting company that he introduced us was nice and the guide always fun. I've taken the rafting package from him for 3 or 4 times. Really good experience to be out of our current world. Everytime I visited bali will always have him to take us arround to experience Bali in different ways. Good luck, see you again.
