Wah Ko is the Best Driver Ever

Our Bali Private Drivers guide was Wah Ko and he was so amazing! He was so friendly and accomodating and really went above and beyond as a driver. He never rushed us, took photos and was great with informing us about the sites and Balinese culture. Thanks again for a great day Wah Ko!

The only no-stress way to see Bali

Excellent service! We booked several days of private tours from Ubud to various temples, waterfalls, and rice terraces. Effective communication by WhatsApp. Our driver, Gus Kumara, was absolutely fantastic: drove very safely, was never late, accompanied us to the temples, shared tons of interesting facts about Bali history, culture, and traditions. Highly recommend for any trips to Bali.

Private tour in Ubud

We booked this tour at 11pm the night before with an early pickup and Wayan Jose turned up bright and early for our full day tour to Ubud. Wayan shared with us deep knowledge and insight about Bali, their culture and religion. He spoke good English, being both professional and personal as well as extremely accommodating on the tour with insight knowledge and answering all of our questions. As we were coming to the end of the tour he understood our interest in coffee and offered to take us to a plantation in addition, despite it not being on the tour. We greatly appreciated the offer. He was extremely helpful in organising tickets for getting into each attraction as well as taking family pictures for us in the most picturesque locations. Recommend this tour 100%, you get to see a lot and learn a lot in a short time.
