Review:

"These books cover the touristy sites that you don't want to miss, but they also detail some of the more hidden spots. These travel books are easy to carry around and aren't loaded with a lot of information that I don't need. I also like that both guidebooks come with very detailed folded maps in the back. This makes getting around so much easier." --This Way to Paradise blog

"The author leverages his long familiarity with Bali throughout the book, something that's most apparent in Chapter 3 and his personal recommendations; you can't get a better first-timer's guide to Bali, considering its carefully curated picks of value-for-money activities and accommodations." --Michael Aquino, About.com Travel
