It was a very comfortable day trip. He was very kind and flexible, and even changed the itinerary for us. I highly recommend him as a driver.
Dewa Nata has to be one of the best drivers we have ever had! He was punctual, an excellent and very careful driver, incredibly knowledgeable about Balinese traditions and culture, and such an easy and interesting person to talk to. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks to Dewa, we learned so much about Balinese history, religion, culture, and so many other fascinating subjects. Every journey became an opportunity to learn something new. As Dewa is also a teacher, we feel incredibly lucky to have had the chance to learn from him. It truly felt like a privilege to spend time in his company. Thank you, Dewa, for making our day in Uluwatu ,Bali, so interesting, enjoyable and memorable. We will never forget you! ❤️
It was lovely day. The driver arrived very on time and professional on introducing Bali culture, coffee knowledge and foods recommendations. Dewa is a really great driver who was good at taking photos for us.
The experience was wonderful and our driver Bobi was excellent, very friendly and pleasant.
¡Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron del tour y que Bobi fue un excelente conductor. ¡Esperamos volver a recibirlos en Bali!
Honestly cannot recommend Ari enough! He was professional, knowledgeable, funny and just really easy to spend the day with. We started at the rice fields and somehow had the whole place to ourselves — not another tourist in sight. It felt really special and almost like proper VIP treatment. From there, Ari took us to his local village where we learnt how rice is traditionally processed and even got stuck in helping his uncle, which was such a brilliant and genuinely authentic experience. Throughout the day, Ari taught us loads about Balinese culture, religion and everyday life, but what we really loved was how personal it all felt. He chatted to us about his own life, family and what he likes doing in his spare time, so it felt much more like spending the day with a local friend than being on a standard tour. We’d originally planned to visit a popular café, but told Ari we’re not big fans of crowds and prefer proper local food. He completely got it and took us to his favourite warung instead. We were the only tourists there, the food was lovely and the jungle views were absolutely beautiful. We also casually mentioned wanting a coffee, and of course Ari found us another amazing little spot with locally made coffee and tea and gorgeous jungle views. He completely tailored the day around what we actually enjoy, rather than just ticking off the usual tourist stops. Such a fun, personal and unforgettable day. Thank you Ari — genuinely one of the highlights of our trip!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear you had such a special day with Ari. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Bali again!

We had an amazing day with our driver Olen, spending the whole day with him from 9 AM to 9 PM. From the very beginning, he was incredibly friendly, punctual, and always available via WhatsApp. He always respected our wishes regarding the places and activities we wanted to visit and was very flexible throughout the day. What we especially appreciated was how much he shared with us about Balinese culture, traditions, and everyday life. He also told us a lot about himself and his personal life, which made the day feel much more personal and enjoyable. One of the highlights was visiting the water temple ceremony. He accompanied us during the ceremony and even captured many special moments for us on his phone, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable, and genuinely caring driver in Bali. Thank you so much for the wonderful day! Top service! 👍🏼
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a great day with Olen and appreciated his friendliness, punctuality, and service. We truly appreciate your support!
