We had a bespoke full day tour around the North of Bali staring in Ubud. Booked it through WhatsApp really easily. Our driver for the day was June. He was very friendly and nice all time telling us different stories about the places we were visiting. Great job! Thank you June!

nice tours. really enjoyed the tours and the stuff. They are vey nice to us. Prices might be a little bit expensive however. We paid 2 times more than what the stuff asked for. The third time we asked for a small transportation service that usually costs 350/400k max. The answer of Astawa was 700K. We found that disappointing especially that we were really generous with him the first two tours. We felt like we are just dollars' bringers.

If you are looking for an exceptional safe, honest and knowledgeable driver, no need to look any further, this guy is the one! Astawa or Nyoman was our driver for a number of days and took us on a Bail experience from the mountains to the sea, from sleepy little villages to temples and very special places; sometimes along roads no tourist has seen. Having visited Bali on four previous occasions this was the first time that the ‘real Bali’ truly unfolded for us, through him. Following conversations about different plants, herbs and fruits along the way he was even kind enough to invite us to a hands on cooking demonstration with local produce with his mum and his sisters in the family compound, it was fantastic, both the food we produced and the family’s friendly interaction. Astawa was also a mine of information and gave us hints on everything from where to eat, cultural expectations and ceremonial do’s and don’ts to history, places to source items and where, when and when not to bargain. His concerned and protective guidance was invaluable and he was always there with icy cold perfumed face towels and complimentary bottled water. Two of us had a nagging cough so he sourced peeled Galangal for us to chew which fixed it. If you are interested in the spiritual side he is also an artist, musician and lead character dancer, blessed and sanctioned by the high priest to perform in local ceremonies. These are not tourist displays but personal devotion and beliefs which are very special to him. Happy to answer any questions on email above if you want.

My sister and I recently stayed in Ubud where we visited the healer – Pakman – who contacted Ubud based Nyoman when we required a driver to take us back to our accommodation. We were very fortunate indeed that he did! Our first impressions were of a very polite, obliging, humble, professional young man with a happy face and beautiful smile and who had an exceptional command of the English language. We decided to engage him then and there for a tour we had been contemplating and were lucky enough that he was available several days later. With Nyoman’ s experience and recommendations we soon had a full day tour planned which suited both our needs and personal preferences. Nyoman kindly assisted to ensure we were safe at all times whenever we encountered the numerous steps or uneven ground at some of the sites. At no time did we feel rushed or under pressure during our sightseeing. Nyoman was very knowledgeable and had no trouble interpreting and answering all the questions we asked him. Everything required was provided and the cool scented towels and cold water was a welcome bonus whenever needed. We shared lots of jokes and laughs and felt like we had known him for much longer than just a day. He noticed I had a cough and went above and beyond his duty in obtaining some herbal medicine for me and also stopped at several roadside fruit stalls until he found some special coconuts, which he said would also be very helpful. Whilst visiting the tea and coffee plantation he obtained some raw turmeric and explained that if my sister rubbed it on her scratches they would heal very soon – lo and behold - a few days later they were gone! On the way back we asked if we could check out another resort for future reference and he enthusiastically obliged – even though at that stage we had been out and about for ten hours. We would have no hesitation in calling Nyoman next time we are in Bali and would recommend him to anyone who requires a safe, confident, obliging and knowledgeable driver with a friendly and happy disposition and a lovely radiant smile. Thank you Nyoman and we hope your girlfriends nursing graduation goes really well and your future together is truly happy. Kind Aussie wishes from Carolyn & Pamela

Astawa is a champion! We spent a day checking out Ubud, the monkey forest, Volcano, rice fields and temples. Astawa really is a friendly driver and loves to share his knowledge of Bali. Highly recommended for anyone looking to see more of the real Bali.
Cheers Astawa looking forward to catching up with you soon.
