When was your first visit to Bali why did you visit this time?
I received a Bali trip as a gift on my 18 e birthday. However, the Bali bombings in 2002 has arrived. We had to fly to Bali the following weekend, but the Australian government canceled all flights, we went to Penang instead. We returned to Bali six months later because my mother wanted to show my sister and I the island.
Why did you decide to live and work in Bali?
I lived in Bali for 18 months in 2005 while managing a little pub called Ye Olde Legian Foo-Kin Pub. It has since been demolished. I also started a small pub crawl at the time, called The Pub Crawl Foo-Kin, who had groups of eight to 12 people in the local sites in the region. It was very successful. When I decide to leave, I knew I would be back to give it another go. And that's exactly what happened after my return in 2012.
What Pub Crawl Rick all about?
Rick Pub Crawl is the best way to get your night started in Bali. With five of the hottest places in Bali on our map of the party, you are guaranteed to have a great time! Participants are guided by our own team as well as private security from one place to make sure that you are safe and above all, have a great time and meet new people. Many websites, customers would not normally visit, so it's a great way to educate them about the various options available in Bali for one night.
Why do you call "The Pub Official Crawl"?
Pub Crawl Rick is the only pub crawl organized in Indonesia. There ' there are no other towers of the party like us. Some tried to open but they have not survived very long. We Trademarked name Rick Pub Crawl and our slogan, "Can you survive ...?" nobody can try to trade on our success as happened once back in 2006. This pub crawl is in competition there.
Where and how time does it start?
We meet at Eikon Bar on Jl. Legian Kuta on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Pub Crawl Rick starts to 20 hours, but because the traffic can be bad around Kuta, we do not really expect people to get to 8.15-8.30pm. it is important to be on time, because it gives the group time to get to know each other and build friendships that will develop even more in the evening. Each customer receives an official whistle, glass and shooting Pub Crawl T-shirt Rick special he or she must bear all the pub crawl. This allows us to know who they are at all times.
How do you get from pub to pub?
Rick Pub Crawl is a walking tour and party bus. host corporate parties fully trained guide you from club to club. You should not worry about a thing. We handle everything for you. The staff are positioned along roads to ensure that you are guided to a club in a fun and safe way. We are here to help you enjoy yourself.

What are sanitary pub participants allowed to do in Bali they would not be able to to, say, Australia?
As the laws of liquor license here in Bali are much more relaxed than in Australia, we are allowed to do much more than we could do. But we play by the rules at all times and using our knowledge of the rules and regulations to create a fun evening, safe and entertaining. The safety of our customers is our primary concern at each pub crawl, so we quickly bring people into the line if things start to get carried away.
How long the participants stay on each site
Approximately 45-50 minutes ?; much time to indulge in the drink specials Pub Crawl Rick and bust on the dance floor.
are soft?
No. Customers should always pay for their drinks in the places we visit. The shots that we provide are included in the ticket price. We have a set amount of bottles that we provide every evening and once they run out, that's all. We encourage guests to get too drunk, it would not be fun for anyone. If we feel the guests get drunk, we will slow the gunfire service, full stop or we'll leave. We work with our partner sites in order not to cause damage or create a bad reputation. We want our customers to remember the night without any problems or injuries.
are sweetened beverages served or are they full force?
The pictures we provide are a mixture of 9 Vodka, we buy Bali Moon, flavored syrup and filtered water mixed with a ratio of 1/5 to 4/5 of the vodka syrup and water. We tell our customers what is in the shots when they arrive. We substitute vodka for anything else. If our customers do not want to drink the shots, we do not force them.
What security measures do you have in place to prevent accidents?
Because we limit the number of guests that we take every night at 50, it allows us to have a great staff guest ratio; 1: 5 (including security). First, RPC only visits places of strong alcohol, a very big problem in Bali yet. All staff are fully trained in first aid. As we know what road we take every night, we always go ahead in the afternoon to find all hazards along the way. Crossing roads, we use staff and security to stop traffic to allow customers to walk around safely.
What is the highlight of the evening?
For most, the main highlights are the party bus and drag queen bar.
