Best of Bali : Ubud, Rice terrace, Tanah lot temple with Lunch

We spent a week recently in Bali. If you are looking for renting a car, this driver is highly recommended. He is prompt, punctual, value for money and more than anything he is very knowledgable about Bali.

We used this driver service on 4 occassions during our 11 day vacation in Bali this month and Wayan and co were extremely polite, professional and above all honest. I mention the honesty part because our daughter lost her apple headset in Wayan's car and without hesitation, once daylight came, Wayan found it and let us know so we were reunited with it for the airport transfer when we left. One 3 occassions, we used their services to transfer to and from the airport and once to Ubud and back to Seminyak, whilst on the other day, we used the service all day and saw the monkey forest, volcano, rice terraces, coffee sites and the temple in teh sea. My wife and two daughters aged 17 and 19 always felt at ease and thanks to Wayan's unwaivering passion for his country, this left a great impression on us as tourist's. Keep up the great work and without doubt, we will refer your services to anyone we know who may visit Bali in future! thank you.

We booked package 2 on Wayan's website. He picked us up at 8:30 and then we went to a traditional house, the rice fields, the coffee house, the view overlooking Mount Batur volcano where we had a buffet lunch then back to the Uluwatu temple for sunset and the show before finally having dinner on Jimbaran beach. Finally dropping us home about 9pm. So it was a pretty packed day! There were a number of highlights for us - the coffee place = just amazing. The show at Uluwatu was very entertaining as well. Seeing the rice fields gave me a new appreciation for rice. Hearing about the Bali culture. Wayan was so great. He took care of pretty much everything for us. Getting tickets, giving us advice. He really really looked after us and gave us a first class service. We had a party of 4 people (2 adults and 2 teenagers). Half the party get travel sick quite easily and beforehand we were worried that all day in the car might be a problem. But actually on the day they fine. Whilst it was a busy day - it was definitely our best day out in Bali as we learnt and saw so much. Thank you Wayan for a very very memorable day.

I knew i had picked the right tour driver the first time I emailed Wayan. His reply was prompt and he was always happy to answer any of my questions and to change our itinerary to what we wanted. Being in a wheelchair it was important that i picked a great driver. When we arrived in Sanur and I emailed Wayan with what day we wanted to do the tour, thankfully he was free. He and his driver (sorry i can't remember his name) arrived to pick us up at Swiss-belresort promptly, the van Wayan had for us was very easy for me to transfer into (i am a double amputee and can transfer well) and we were off to pick up our friends from the Oasis Lagoon. All together there was 9 of us including 3 children. Wayan has great English and was happy to explain statues and other points of interest on the way - travelling with a few teachers they were very interested in the school system and Wayan explained it beautifully. Our first stop was a traditional family compound located at Batuan Village - this was a fantastic look into family life in Bali. Lots of people selling things outside but just smile and say no thanks. Wayan helped me with the Wheelchair and explained the different buildings and such. 2nd stop was the Monkey forest in Ubud - if you are in a wheelchair you will def need help going down the ramp to the entrance but once there it is pretty easy to get around. There are ramps up to other parts and the monkey's are a crack up. If you want to get a picture of them on you raise the banana over your shoulder. I only found this out after i had used all our bananas LOL Mind you they didn't mind climbing the wheelchair. 3rd stop was Ubud markets and the palace. Our friends had a look through the palace grounds and my husband and myself when into the markets, def a place you need someone to help you push your wheelchair but generally same things you can buy down at Sanur. We were than on the hunt for a cold beer LOL we decided on the circle K (next to the palace grounds) and enjoyed that while waiting for the car and the others. 4th stop we stopped at Kintamani for a beautiful lunch overlooking Batur Volcano and Batur Lake. Hubby and I had done this previously but our friends hadn't so was great for them. The weather can change very quickly up here and although it was clear when we arrived, as we ate the clouds came over and the rain came down. Wayan did an exceptional job to make sure we there before the clouds came in. The restaurant that we went to was very wheelchair friendly but the toilets were not unfortunately, I was close to busting and Wayan thankfully took us to the Rice Terraces (stop 5) where there was a great toilet in the parking lot - ramp up to it, although it wasn't wheelchair accessible it was easy enough for me to crawl over to the toilet as it was very clean. We enjoyed the view over the terraces and also a walk along the street. 6th stop was the Tegenungan waterfall, I did not get out of the car on this one and our group just took pics from the top but you can walk down to the base of the waterfall and swim. 7th stop was a surprise stop as Wayan was pointing out places of interest and mentioned butterfly farm - well one of the ladies in our group is obsessed with them and really wanted to go so Wayan very kindly stopped our van and let her and few others go in. Hubby, myself and a couple of others were happy to have a cold beer while we waited. Was worth it when i saw my friends face she was over the moon, thanks for that Wayan. 8th stop was a BBQ on the beach at Jimbaran we were so lucky as we got to see the sunset, Had some massive help navigating the wheelchair down to the beach but was so worth it. The food was great and the kids enjoyed playing in the sand. This tour was put together for us by Wayan and myself and I can honestly say that everyone had a fantastic day. Would not hesitate to recommend Wayan to anyone going to Bali and I will def be using him next time we are there. Thank you for a great experience Wayan
