Hi all, newbie here, about to go on my 2nd trip to Bali (16 March). First was some years ago with a group and everything was sorted for us, but this one is with a friend, also a newbie (she went once on a short trip maybe 10 years ago).
Mostly I plan to lounge around, swim, eat, go shopping & to spas. Friend wants to go to a cooking class, ride an elephant and take a trip to Ubud.
Is it best to book the cooking class now? Also I would prefer to book tours rather than hire a driver, so is it best to book them now or wait till we arrive? We're staying at Ivory Resort in Seminyak and will have a week. Recommendations for tour providers are welcome too. Thanks.
