You need to be aware that some tours offering to show you local crafts and places of interest turn out to be more for the benefit of the operator than the customer.
A trip to the Volcano from Nusa Dua involved stopping at silver, batik, art and other such places, where we were given tours of the sites, and you do feel under pressure to buy. I have no doubt the tour operator is rewarded for taking you there. Better to hire a taxi and be able to go where you want, when you want.
