          Amazing driver and guide Krisda.
          Very good guide and driver Krisda. Krisda helped us throughout the trip and guided us properly in the temple today. We saw the ulluwatu balinese dance which was great. Krisda our driver arranged for the tickets and guided us to the place. Hope to travel with him in future too.

          Dewa is an extraordinary guide, very friendly, caring, and so knowledgeable. The tour was well thought out and organized impeccably. We had so much fun exploring the waterfall, temple, coffee farm and rice terrace on this tour. Lunch was excellent and the location a dream.

          Mr Ma-de was excellent! We were picked up from our Vila and taken around Ubud to see the monkey forest, ubud art markets, rice plantations, jungle swing, temple and the waterfalls. Despite all the rain, we got to see Ubud’s attractions and Ma-de explained all the local history as we went.

        We had the pleasure of spending the entire day with Desna as our tour driver and guide during our trip to Ubud, Bali, and we highly recommend him for your next trip! Desna was prompt, arriving right on time at 8 AM, and ensured that our day went smoothly from start to finish.

        He took us on an unforgettable journey, visiting three stunning temples - Ulun Dhanu Bratan , Tanah Lot, Luhur Batukaru. All UNESCO-listed.
        We walked the entire stretch of rice terraces, and he provided us insightful commentary along the way. We especially enjoyed the experience of seeing the traditional terrace irrigation system at the rice fields, which was both beautiful and educational courtesy Desna.
        Throughout the day, Deana’s calm and easygoing demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable, allowing us to relax and take in the sights without any worries.

        His driving was impeccable—safe, smooth, and confident, which gave us peace of mind as we explored the winding roads of Bali.
        His professionalism, punctuality, and warmth made him the perfect choice for our day trip, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone visiting Ubud. If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable driver to explore Bali, Desna is the one you want!
        He did rush us through the day and allowed us to have a slow and easy day.

        We took the tour with Gusde, were so thankful we had him as a tour guide. We were travelling with a 4 year old and 7month old, so was very hard work. He was able to change the itinerary on the day to suit something much better for a young family. We went to 3 different temples, all different and unique, Gusde was knowledgeable about all and made it a really fun time for us. He also always gave a helping hand with the kids, pushing the pushchair or watching them around the roads or crowded areas, this type of tour guide is worth their weight in gold. Overall we couldn't recommend this company and specifically Gusde highly enough.

        We had an excellent temples and rice terraces day trip which commenced promptly. It offered flexibility and a good description about the places we went to whilst providing us some local insight about things on the way to the temples. Our guide was Komang Pi and he had such a warm and kind nature that put us at ease instantly. He always made sure we had the perfect photo and no photo was too many. He patiently waited while we loitered around and we did not feel rushed. He was also caring to bring the car to us if we were too tired and always made sure the air-conditioning was blasting to provide us some respite from the heat. Great value for money! Covered all entrance fees and buffet lunch plus service with a smile. Would recommend 10/10!!

        “I can’t say enough good things about our driver Made Wirasa during our trip to Bali. He was not just a driver but an incredible guide who shared so much knowledge about the culture, history, and hidden gems of Bali. His patience and kindness stood out the entire time, and he truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable.

        What really made him exceptional was his attentiveness to our needs—always understanding, flexible, and helpful in every situation. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip, which allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment.

        Without a doubt, he’s one of the best drivers we’ve ever had on any trip, and I will absolutely recommend him to my friends. He is not only a skilled driver but also a wonderful human being. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring driver in Bali, look no further!” Made you’re a wonderful soul! Thank you

        We had the absolute pleasure of spending a full day exploring Bali’s Water Temples and the UNESCO Rice Terraces with Desna as our guide, and it was nothing short of incredible! Desna’s knowledge of Balinese culture, history, and spirituality made the tour so much more enriching than we could have ever imagined. He has a wonderful way of sharing insights that make you feel connected to the places you’re visiting.

        Desna was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the day, always making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. His passion for his home and its traditions really shone through, whether we were admiring the ancient water temples or walking through the breathtaking rice terraces. We felt like we were not just tourists, but guests welcomed into a beautiful cultural experience.

        The tour was well-paced, allowing us to soak in the serene beauty of the landscapes, and Desna’s warm personality made it feel like we were exploring with a friend. His local knowledge helped us avoid the crowds and discover hidden gems we would have otherwise missed.

        We can’t recommend Desna and this tour enough! If you’re looking for an authentic, insightful, and perfectly guided experience in Bali, Desna is your go-to guide!

        Thank you, Desna, for making our Bali adventure so special! 🌿🙏

        Despite the wet weather, we had a great experience visiting the iconic sites of Bali, thanks to Wah Ko, our assigned driver and guide. He was punctual, in fact he arrived ten minutes earlier, and drove us around very carefully, ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the journey. We learnt a lot from
        him about the culture of Bali, beyond the history of each iconic site. He took all our photographs which turned out very well. A kind, humble and friendly driver and guide.

        The tour has been very comfortable with our guide Yansu. We arrived early to all the temples and it allowed us to be at our leisure for as long as we wanted without many people. He provided us with information and showed no problem taking all the photos we wanted. If you want to spend 1 day seeing the most important temples in Bali and not worry about tickets, parking or directions, I recommend it.

        Hire Bali Driver provides a great service. The owner Wayan is easy to communicate with and the tour selections are great. I booked everything through Whatsapp and it was a breeze.

        Marco was my tour guide in Ubud and I booked HBD set tours and also designed my own custom tour. Marco provided excellent customer service. He was always early to pick me and my wife up, always offered cold towels to refresh on the humid days, and always had cold bottles of water available. He was a safe driver and always followed traffic rules, which made sitting in the car great, because Bali driving is a bit hectic and congested. Marco is from Ubud and had nice recommendations, including the Heaven Swing (a must!) and the Tengenungan waterfall (a must!). I look forward to Marco being my driver for my upcoming trip to Seminyak and Jimbaran and would recommend Marco and HBD!

        Today we enjoyed a full-day tour to some of the most famous sightseeing attractions of Bali (Tanah Lot Temple, Luhur Batukaru Temple, Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, Ulun Danu Braten). Many thanks for this wonderful "Bali in one day" tour to our guide Sunarta, a very pleasant person who answered all our questions in a very friendly and professional manner. So we learned a lot about Balinese traditions, culture and religion. We would also like to mention that he is a very good driver who brought us safely through this unbelievable traffic chaos. All in all we can only recommend the tour with Sunarta and wish him all the best. Best regards Heinz & Brigitte

        My husband and I just completed the Bali full-day Water Temple and UNESCO Rice Terraces tour. I highly recommend it for those looking to explore lesser-known areas. Our guide, Radi, was fantastic. He expertly navigated us through the day, handling unforeseen challenges like roadblocks with ease while accommodating our preferences. Radi provided a safe environment and shared insightful perspectives on Balinese culture. He allowed ample time to explore the rice fields without rushing us, and his photography skills are top-notch!
