We had a great day with Yande from Hire Bali Driver. He was professional, punctual and accommodating, with a clean, tidy, air-conditioned car and drinking water supplied. His recommendation for a quieter local water purification temple was a highlight, and he’s a great photographer too! Thanks, Yande, for making the day so enjoyable. Highly recommended.

We had a very lovely spiritual and cultural experience with Sunarta as our guide for the day. One of my most amazing experiences we have ever been on. Especially going to the Water temple and had a water purification ceremony which was just surreal. Sunarta gave us lots of history and information of the temple and many other parts of Hindu culture and religion that we were not aware of. It was lovely being able to learn and experience the culture for ourselves. He was super helpful with taking photos and his driving skills were fantastic! Especially in Bali🤣
We had a great time on excursion, with our guide/driver Krisda, he was very helpful and nice.
Very nice guide Krisda, very helpful, 5/5.
Perfect private tour, we went with Udi, great guide.
Wayan was a very comprehensive, professional and funny driver and guide for a full day in Ubud. My friend and I were very grateful for him to answer history questions and he even became our photographer! If you’re looking for a day trip to Ubud to see what this area has to offer, look no further than Wayan.
What a wonderful way to spend our first full day in Bali. From the art of wood carving, money forest, the swing and rice terrace, a coffee tasting, the beautiful waterfall and a really tasty lunch. This was really more than we could have expected and well worth the money. I cant say enough about our wonderful driver and tour guide Kantun. He was awesome and captured some amazing pictures for us. Book Him! He's a really great guy!
Booking this tour was such a wonderful surprise! We were expecting a standard crowded bus, so having a private car made the day feel so much more relaxing and personal. Our guide, Krisda, was an absolute gem. He tailored the entire day perfectly to our pace, offered the most thoughtful recommendations, and ensured we never felt hurried. I especially appreciated how considerate he was with the driving. He managed to pull up right at the entrance to every single spot, saving us from long walks in the heat and taking us straight to the beautiful views. I cannot recommend this experience enough, and having Krisda as our guide made our time in Bali truly unforgettable!
Superb day and format. We thought it was a tour bus but it’s a dedicated tour guide in a car which is much better. Krisda was our driver & tour guide and we couldn’t have asked for better - he was so lovely and accomodating with his recommendations and time. We never felt rushed and he took us to the best spots, parking at every entrance so only short steps to views. I would highly recommend this tour and if you get Krisda - I guarantee you it’ll be a truely sensational Bali experience!
We had an amazing experience with Lewer as our driver in Bali! He drove us around all day, taking us to beautiful places including Tukad Cepung Waterfall, Tibumana Waterfall, Pura Kehen Temple, Penglipuran Village, the Bamboo Forest, and Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple. Lewer was friendly, professional, patient, and very helpful throughout the entire day. He made sure we felt comfortable, helped us enjoy every stop, and made the whole trip smooth and stress-free. We really appreciated his safe driving, flexibility, and positive attitude. We highly recommend Lewer to anyone looking for a reliable and kind driver in Bali. He helped make our day truly special, and we would happily travel with him again. Thank you, Lewer, for such a wonderful experience!
My guide Hendra is very accommodating and friendly. Did have an awesome experience with Hendra, would highly recommend him. Took a lot of great pictures during the tour, great conversations and Balinese culture.
Thankyou to Romo for making our day out so much fun! Nothing was a bother and he was great company Would highly recommend him !!
Dana was amazing! She was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and made the whole private tour such a great experience. We got to see everything we wanted to and even more! My partner is six months pregnant, and Dana was fantastic at making sure we were comfortable while still helping us make the most of our day. He really went above and beyond to ensure we didn’t miss out on anything. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Dana to anyone visiting!
Excellent trip , highly recommend - Marco arrived on time , confirmed day before and early am - good communication , good clean car
Good driver and knowledge. Hornest host.
!Winata from Hire Bali Driver was amazing! He was so warm and friendly, explained a lot about Bali, its culture and people, and patiently answered all our questions. He helped us with entrance tickets everywhere and always gave us enough time to explore on our own. He made our Bali experience truly special. If you book a driver, ask for Winata! You won’t regret it! 😊
Our driver Krisda was really great. He was timely and knowledgeable as well as flexible for our day tour. Would highly recommend!
Going around Bali with Komang was the best touring experience I’ve had. He went above and beyond the itinerary explaining the culture and customs as we passed the different parts of Canggu all the way to Ubud. I was too scared to get on the swing but he literally cheered me on as I was screaming for my life 😂😅 I would recommend him 10 times over and plan to book with him whenever I’m back.
We had a wonderful experience with Yande as our private driver in Bali! He was extremely kind, friendly, helpful, and professional throughout the day. He made sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of, and he was always happy to help with anything we needed. We really appreciated his positive attitude, patience, and the effort he put into making our experience special. Everything went smoothly, and we truly enjoyed our time with him. We would definitely recommend Yande to anyone visiting Bali who is looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional driver. Thank you, Yande, for everything! 🙏😊
We had a wonderful day and saw so many beautiful and interesting places! Ma-de was an excellent guide: very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He shared so much interesting information with us and made the whole experience even more special. We truly enjoyed our day with him and highly recommend him to anyone visiting Bali! 😊
We had a wonderful tour around the island of Bali, we visited the monkey forest, the water temple and many more sights including lunch. We had a very friendly guide called Dudy who answered all our queries and helpful. He really made our trip.
We had the most amazing day on the Best of Ubud Tour (All Inclusive) with Hire Bali Driver, and I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was absolutely fantastic, and a huge part of that was our incredible driver, Komang. Komang was absolutely amazing! He was so friendly, knowledgeable, professional and personable, making us feel comfortable from the very beginning. He shared so much interesting information about Bali and the places we visited, which made the experience even more special. We felt completely safe, relaxed and well taken care of throughout the entire day. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience and genuinely made the day unforgettable. A special mention also goes to Komang for taking such amazing photos of us throughout the day! He knew all the best spots and angles, and we now have so many beautiful photos and memories to look back on. It was such a thoughtful touch and really made the experience even more memorable! The tour itself was incredible, with breathtaking views, beautiful locations and an amazing lunch included in the all-inclusive package. The food was delicious, and the views were absolutely stunning. Everything was well organised, and we were able to enjoy the day without having to worry about a thing. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience, and I would recommend Hire Bali Driver to anyone visiting Bali! If you’re considering booking a tour, do yourself a favour and request Komang. He truly made our day so special! We enjoyed the experience so much that we have already booked another trip with Hire Bali Driver in Uluwatu, and we cannot wait! That alone says everything about how fantastic this company is. Thank you, Komang, and the Hire Bali Driver team, for such an unforgettable experience. We will absolutely be recommending you to everyone visiting Bali!
Amazing tour! This is the way to tour all the hot spots and we had an awesome guide Wayan! He knew about all the history and took the time to explain things. We got awesome pictures and had a blast see all the sites so much fun. I would recommend this tour 100% with Wayan!
Whole day was very interesting and very good fun. The whole day was catered to us and our interests which made it that much more enjoyable. The private factor allows you to take your time or skip bits you wouldn’t enjoy. Lunch was very tasty and our guide was very helpful.
Kantun made the experience amazing for us. From when we were picked up and taken around to all the excursions. Kantun explained everything to us newcomers and I enjoyed every moment. The food was also very delicious.
Amazing trip with Krisda our driver and tour guide who showed us the amazing attractions of Ubud. Highly recommended!!
Everything was amazing on this trip from start to finish. Pick up was prompt and right outside our villa, which meant for a seamless start to the day. Hendra- our guide truly made this day a special experience. Everything we seen was beautiful and he gave an insiders knowledge to Bali, its cultures and traditions and provided us with information at each stop. Hendra answered any questions we had and was a delight to be around. By the end of the day he felt like a friend more than a guide! After saying we enjoyed the jungles and the good views he drove us through local villages instead of main roads which was another highlight to our trip as we seen so much more of the ‘real’ Bali. At the start of the day we were hungry as we hadn’t had breakfast and Hendra was quick to adapt our day to ensure that we got to eat quickly and then managed to make everything else fit in afterwards. If you are coming to Bali and are unsure whether to book this trip then this is your sign to do it! And hopefully Hendra will be your guide too and you will feel as fortunate as we do! Thank you so much for the best day, Hendra!
Booked my full day trip with HBD in Ubud. We are family of 3 travelling with a toddler. The booking experience was smooth. Our Driver Hendra reached before time itself and waited for us. We started the day at Tirta Pura temple and later to Rice Terraces. Post lunch we went to coffee plantation and the finally to Tanha Lot. Even though Bali was having heavy traffic jams due to petrol shortage Hendra accepted our request for specific spots. He patiently waited for us during whole trip. He drove very safely. He is very friendly and had good chat about Bali and interesting facts. My kid became very friendly with him. Overall we enjoyed whole Day and recommend HBD team and Driver Hendra.
Honestly, I was really skeptical about booking another excursion. I had such a horrible experience at the beginning of my Bali trip that I almost didn't bother. I'm so glad I did, because this tour completely changed my mind, and that's all thanks to our guide, Ma-de. He took us to some of the most amazing places on the island: the tegallalang rice terraces, Tirta Empul temple, the Monkey Forest, the jungle swing, a delicious lunch stop, and the waterfalls. Every stop was well-paced, and we never felt rushed or herded around like tourists. What really set Ma-de apart was how much he knew. He was so educated on Balinese culture, religion, and what everyday life is truly like for people here. He answered every question we had and shared stories and context that made each place feel meaningful instead of just another photo stop. At the temple especially, he helped us understand the rituals and why they matter. On top of that, he was genuinely kind and warm the whole day. He also took incredible photos and videos of us, so we came home with memories we'll actually treasure. If you're on the fence about doing a tour in Bali, especially after a bad experience like mine, ask for Ma-de. He turned a skeptic into a believer. 10/10, would book again in a heartbeat!
Driver was amazing and gave us all the information we needed, kind, respectful and fun! We are from South Africa, feeling safe is important ans we felt safe from start to end Aircon vehicle with water. Wonderful experience with the beat guide! And to top it off I did this on my birthday 🤗🎂💃 This is a must if you visit Bali !
Highly recommend taking this if you are ever in a trip to Bali.
A great day out with my mum and son 5 years old. Dekwi the tour guide was so kind and patient instantly soothing all my worried mum nerves in a foreign country . My son wanted to see the monkeys and the day didn’t disappoint, was so many monkeys and Dekwi walked with us, took photos and kept us feeling safe. It was a full day of activities with tickets included. Highly recommend a day out for the family.
Surya was very nice and very informative he took as many photos as I wanted! Thank you so much!
We go early in the morning, we skip all the crowd, we saw everything we wanted, our tour guide Leo was amazing, very open and kind, he took us to waterfall without any people, we had the whole place to ourselves to swim. There was no hurry, we took our time. We learned something about Bali.
We had a wonderful experience with Wayan from Hire Bali Driver during our stay in Ubud. From our airport transportation to our sightseeing tours and final transfer, Wayan took excellent care of us and helped make our time in Bali truly memorable. Over our two days of touring, Wayan introduced us to many of the highlights of Ubud, including the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, Ubud Palace, Ubud Market, Tegalalang Rice Terrace, beautiful temples, local villages, art and craft areas, and the scenic Balinese countryside. Wayan was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, patient and dependable. He shared interesting information about Balinese culture, traditions and everyday life and was always happy to answer our questions. We especially appreciated his flexibility. Rather than simply following a rigid schedule, he helped us adjust our days based on our interests and how much we wanted to see, while making sure we never felt rushed. He was also very helpful with practical matters along the way, including transportation and recommendations, and we always felt comfortable and well taken care of. Having Wayan as our guide allowed us to experience much more than we would have on our own and gave us a better understanding and appreciation of Bali. Our time in Ubud was one of the highlights of our trip to Indonesia, and Wayan played a big part in making it so enjoyable. We sincerely appreciate everything he did for us and would highly recommend Wayan and Hire Bali Driver to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable and personable guide and driver in Bali. Thank you, Wayan, for helping us create such wonderful memories of Bali! Hans
We had a wonderful day with our guide, Winata. He was a very careful driver, smiling, patient, and attentive to our wishes. His explanations were clear, and he never rushed us. We highly recommend him. Sophie Philippe Dominique Jean-Michel
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Berata, who drove us from Jimbaran to Lovina, with several sightseeing stops along the way. Berata is not only an exceptional driver but also a genuinely kind, warm, and thoughtful person. He made the entire journey so enjoyable, comfortable, and memorable. His professionalism, excellent driving skills, and friendly personality made us feel completely at ease throughout the trip. What really stood out was his genuine kindness and the care he put into making sure we had a fantastic experience. He truly went beyond simply being our driver and made the journey itself one of the highlights of our Bali trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver or a nicer person. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and genuinely wonderful driver in Bali, I wholeheartedly recommend Berata! Thank you, Berata, for making our journey so special. We hope to see you again!!
The experience was amazing from smooth pick up to drop off by KRISDA. He was sweet supportive and made me feel very comfortable. Hiring him for ubud day was worth it
This is a well curated itinerary which takes you through a number of highlights in Ubud. Could be a full on experience as the usual transit between places in Bali can be longer than expected. As a family of 4 (2A+2C) we opted for the key highlights that we definitely wanted to do (Monkey Sanctuary, Temple and Waterfall) and dropped a few (Ubud market). Lunch was great and the Bali swing was a plesant surprise that even our 8 y.o. loved. Our guide, Ma-de, was an absolute legend - full of local knowledge, and great with the kids too. Would recommend any day
I thoroughly enjoyed my day trip with Wah Ko. It has been a true highlight of my Bali holiday! I absolutely loved bathing in the natural waterfall, tasting the coffee, and seeing the monkeys. Wah Ko is highly professional, very knowledgeable, and an excellent and safe driver. As a solo female traveller, I also felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the day, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Thank you so much, Wah Ko, for such a wonderful day. I highly recommend this experience! 10/10 — absolutely fantastic!
Berata was amazing. Would highly recommend and use again. He was friendly, full of knowledge and even took a lot of photos along the way for us which we will cherish forever!
We had a wonderful day exploring Ubud. Our host Komang Pi shared much about the history of the places we stopped at along the way which included the Local markets, monkey sanctuary, waterfalls and temple. Komang Pi was kind, considerate and very patient in the peak traffic. We had a delicious lunch and finished at the swing.
Great tour valor to see no wait time for most at attractions definitely worth visiting. Berata was a great and informative driver aswell !!
Komang was absolutely amazing. So attentive and gave us the perfect tour of all the sights to see in Bali. Lovely experience thanks to him
The experience was amazing! Our guide Wah Ko deserves a shout out for making the day our best day so far, full of gratitude, knowledge and adventure. 10/10
My Driver Komang pi was the Best. Very kind , knowledgeable and helpful . Couldn't as for a better driver 5 star driver ...
We had the best experience with Krisda! He was an exceptional driver and guide throughout our Ubud tour. He was friendly, professional, punctual and incredibly helpful, making sure we were comfortable and enjoyed every stop along the way. His knowledge of Bali, warm personality and attention to detail made the day truly special. Krisda went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended! If you’re visiting Bali and need a driver or guide, ask for Krisda. He is simply the best!
An nice day but a lot of time traveling in the car. The rice field was beautiful could have spent longer there and would recommend doing paying for the swing there as it's a nicer backdrop tha where our swing was located. The second waterfall was beautiful Dude was a great guide. Very informative and friendly. Great photographer for us.
We had an amazing experience with Ma-de. He picked us up at our hotel and was very friendly and professional throughout the day. He could easily accommodate on the fly changes and adapt the entire day according to our wishes. We went to the Tegenungan waterfall then the monkey forest in ubud before having a very nice lunch with a view. We added a stop to the coffee plantation to try Luwak coffee which we highly recommend, before continuing the tour with the tirta empul temple and a stop at the rice fields. Overall a very enjoyable day with a big thanks to Ma-de for making it a lovely day for the entire family.
We had a wonderful day and experienced everything from the Sacred Monkey Forrest Sancuary, rice field, temple, luwak coffee tasting, waterfall and a fantastic lunch with a view. The guide was amazing, very friendly. This trip is suitable for younger kids. Nice to experience Balinese culture
