Hi there,
It’s the six of us from ‘down under’ Melbourne Australia.
We would just like to say thanks and express our appreciation to Wayan our tour guide.

He picked us up from the airport without delay, taking us to our hotel and also provided a great service throughout our entire trip.
By giving us his mobile number, Wayan made sure we could ring up and arrange trips whenever and wherever.
Our trips included an enjoyable trip to the volcano, out to lunch and a few days visiting friends in the country. He also knows all the great shopping spots.
We would definitely use his services again and recommend him to other travelers. No worries at all.
Thanks Wayan

All The Best,

Jim, Yvonne, Bob. Lyn, Bev & Lynn

I just returned from a short four days in Bali. I spent three of them with Wayan. He was my private driver and tour guide for seeing this most unique and amazing island culture. I’ve traveled all over Asia and must admit that Wayan made this the most memorable of all my travel experiences. Two minutes after we left the busy hotel beachfront, we were immersed in the rice fields and natural beauty of Bali.

I had told Wayan that I wanted to see the culture and daily life of the Balinese people as well as the natural beauty of the island. I got this and so much more. He speaks English very clearly, was sensitive to my interests and desires, and was a true professional in sharing his island paradise with me. Our three days together provided a steady dialogue on history, traditions, beliefs, arts, culture, economics, etc.

Upon arriving in Bali, I discovered that there are only two ways to see the island. Join a tour group, or hire a driver. I hired Wayan. His rates were less than any of the tours or hotel taxis I saw, and very reasonable at that! I soon discovered that I had hired a professional tour guide, not just a driver. He led me to authentic food, temples and ceremonies in local villages, scenic views and took me on a private walk to an incredible waterfall. He recommended restaurants and evening entertainment and shared aspects of his culture that only a native could provide. My only regret was that I did not have more time. If you are after an authentic Balinese experience, do contact Wayan. You will not be disappointed.

Thanks so very much for helping to give my family such a wonderful time in your beautiful Bali island. The places you brought us to gave my family a good understanding of the Balinese culture, its people, its beautiful countryside, its wonderful beaches, and of course brought us to places where the “Great Bali Sale” is always on! You were always courteous and never rushed us, yet got us to the next station in time. It was a great two and half-days for us. We especially liked the Jimbaran seafood place you brought us to, called Intan Sari restaurant, I think. The red snapper, squids, jumbo prawns, etc., were fresh and yummy, prices reasonable, and the ambience - priceless. Too bad I couldn’t make it in the evening time to view sunset while having seafood dinner. But, doing it in the afternoon sun under a giant umbrella on prime beach front with our feet shoeless and rubbing in the sand – this is some eating experience we won’t forget so easily. We also want to thank you for accommodating us without any fuss, to bring us to places I requested such as the Gitgit waterfalls and Uluwatu. Picturesque scenes ! And for you guys reading this - hesitate no more if you are going to Bali . Get a driver cum guide, and it’s Wayan Arsana. Give him a call or email (he replies his mails very promptly – after he’s back home from his busy day). His mobile: +628123801162 / balivandriver@gmail.com.. I never knew Wayan before this, but now I can call upon someone when I return to Bali.

Terima kasih,
Richard
