Bali Car Driver Bali Car Driver and it was the best decision I ever made. They have a lot of options to choose from, such as full day tours, half day tours, combination tours and activities tours. I opted for the Ubud and Tanah Lot Sunset Tour and it was amazing. I got to see the monkey forest, the rice terraces, the temple on the sea and the beautiful sunset. The driver guide was very friendly, informative and flexible. He also took great photos of me along the way.

Superb service. We were fortunate to meet Bali Car Driver on line since we had 6 pax for the first trip in July 2002. Putu was our attentive driver, in formative and caring with exceptional English. We were with him for 4 days including our second trip in September 2022. We highly recommend Bali Car Driver as your transportation, your guide and your friend.

Simply Amazing We stayed in Bali for two weeks. We hired this service and Ketut was our driver for 10 of the 14 days. During that time we had booked tours with other companies. We were so disappointed that we didn’t book everything here. Our driver was on time (If not early), he spoke fluent English, and made suggestions as to where to buy stuff. It was a pleasure!! Ketut made us feel safe and any attraction we went to, he walked us to the attraction and made sure we got in without any hassles. We are so happy we used them!! 6 STARS!!
