Varied and enjoyable full day trip. - Suryi was a great guide: excellent English, very knowledgeable, kind and responsive. The car was clean and comfortable and Suryi was a very safe driver on the crazy Balinese roads. The most impressive sight was the monuments of Gunung Kawi - worth all the steps. The monkey forest was a nice finale - beautiful forest/jungle and well-behaved monkeys! The coffee plantation was a worthwhile option with much information and fun tasting. Overall, the tour was varied very enjoyable, good value and we can thoroughly recommend it.

Custom tour, perfect snapshot of Ubud - Wonderful tour!! We went out with Dexde for on a customized tour. Saw the rice terraces, two amazing temples, three waterfalls, and an art market, with lunch in between. Dexde was knowledgeable and friendly and eager to snap some photos to help us remember the lovely day in and around Ubud! Car was comfortable and cool and he’s an expert driver. Dexde was willing to answer to a of questions about the places and Balinese culture, and also guided us avoid the crowds and kept a good pace, making suggestions along the way. Thanks so much!

Above & Beyond Wonderful - I had the absolute best tour thanks to Kantun. I had a few specific places in mind so I used WhatsApp to message the night before, and within a few minute the tour was all set up for pick up the next morning. For my custom tour I asked to see Pura Besakih, Penglipuran Village, and a rice terrace. Kantun included other small stops that were such nice surprises, including a coffee plantation where you could sample 12 different types of tea and coffee and later on, a chocolate store with all Bali cacao bars. One of the best parts about this day for me as a solo traveler is that Kantun did a phenomenal job of taking photos and videos! He is a true pro. I was not expecting to have any photos of myself on this trip since I am traveling alone, so that really was such a nice added benefit! He also shared so much information on Bali traditions and culture, which is the main reason I wanted a guide. The entire day from start to finish was perfect.

Best Tour! - We had the most amazing time on our private tour with Komang! Hire Bali Driver was great to work with from start to finish, promptly responding to my inquiry and even open to my request to add an additional site to ensure we could see everything we wanted. Komang reached out the day prior to our tour to confirm the details and was so kind, knowledgeable and made our experience so memorable. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend spending the day with Berata - Berata was a fabulous driver and tour guide! Our family learned so much about everyday life in Bali, culture and customs, and history. Our trip wouldn't have been nearly as amazing without Berata's expertise and talent for sharing perspective. He was warm and open and treated us like family. Learning about Bali from Berata made a meaningful impression on our family that we won't soon forget. We highly recommend booking with Berata!

Bali tour - We had a wonderful day visiting temples, rice terraces and waterfalls. Our driver Kantun was very friendly and accomodating. The car was clean and comfortable. The roads in Bali are not always the best, and the traffic can be intense, Kantun was an excellent and careful driver. The only thing that could have been better was the restaurant where we had lunch. It had a beautiful setting in a nice garden, but the food was very expensive and nothing special. I would definitely recommend this tour provider for a private tour in Bali, it was very good value for money!
