Kadek! Oh what a wonderful guide and driver we met . Beyond Expectations, A well spoken and honest person. We will Highly recommend anyone coming from overseas to meet and set their trip with Kadek, Because in busy and unknown cities you need someone you can trust. He did put extra efforts to make our trip safe, sweet and memorable
We absolutely loved our tour with the driver Johnny! He is always upbeat, friendly, and very willing to help. He showed us some true hidden gems in Ubud that we would never have found on our own. His communication was excellent — always replying promptly on WhatsApp and adjusting his schedule to accommodate us whenever needed. We will definitely recommend him to many other people!
Joni is fantastic. He is on time and so funny. He takes us to the best places and makes sure that we get the best deals. I highly recommend Joni, this is our second time coming back to Bali and using his services. He has even helped my friends out with no hesitation. Thanks so being so kind and helpful Joni! Best driver in Bali!
We had a fantastic day exploring the Ubud area with a very kind and professional driver. He took us to several beautiful places, including the Monkey Forest, handmade gold and silver workshops, an exciting ATV ride, and the stunning rice terraces. His service was excellent, the price was very fair, and he shared so much interesting information about Balinese culture and daily life. We felt very well taken care of and learned a lot along the way. We highly recommend his service to anyone visiting Bali – it really made our trip special!
We did the Ubud trip with Jhon and it was really amazing. He showed us a lot of different places and told us a lot of informations about them. We were able to stop when we wanted to buy something or for lunch. He recommended a very good restaurant! Would always do it again!!
Highly recommending my driver Kadek! He was flexible & had us & our experiences in his best interest. He drives very safely & as someone who gets motion sickness easily, I felt completely comfortable. Will be choosing him again when I return!
We strongly recommend Kadek as your private driver in Bali! He was warm, trustworthy, and incredibly attentive throughout our journey. His local knowledge and genuine care made us feel completely safe and well looked after. Thanks to him, our time in Bali was truly unforgettable.
Me and my wife went with the driver Jhon to monkey forest and waterfall tour and he also took us to coffee plantation and jewellery making with no extra cost, he taught us about the balinese culture and was so kind and patient waiting on us everywhere, nothing was ever too much for him , then after this day I requested to have him as my driver for me my wife and my friends for the remaining 2 weeks for lots more tours and taxi runs ,and honestly he was never late to pick us up and he was just an amazing person to spend all day with on tours , me my wife and friends got close to him because he is very endearing and we are all going to miss him , but I have his number and next time I'm in bali he will be my number 1 driver , he is the best ❤️, peter
Highly recommend booking Kadek as your private driver! He was very friendly, honest, caring and knowledgeable throughout our trip. We felt very safe in his care and had an amazing experience in Bali.
Best way to see Bali is by doing day trips with a driver. Kadek is the best! He is very friendly and knowledgeable and happily takes you to places you want to go. He has good judgement about which places can be done reasonably (so that you don’t spend all day in the car and not have enough time to enjoy the place). It is a bargain to have a car and driver for, essentially, a whole day to be able to travel at your convenience and not have to follow a particular pre-made schedule. You can stop and buy fresh fruit like mangosteen or rambutan, or even durian. Kadek also gave some fun recommendations for sights to see and places to eat that are on the way. Driving in Bali is particularly challenging as most people seem treat driving lanes as suggestions. motorcycles (even other cars) will cut in front of you without notice so your driver needs to be hyper aware of his surroundings. Kadek was an excellent driver and we felt very safe in his care.
