When visiting Bali, it's important to dress appropriately for both the climate and the local culture. We recommend light fabrics, shorts, tshirts, sundresses etc. When visiting temples or other religious sites, it's important to dress modestly. Men and women should wear clothing that covers their shoulders and knees.

There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. To give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below. The Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection at the beginning of your holiday to cover drivers, guides, porters and hotel staff of approximately £50. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip.
