Testimonial

"Come on.... this can't be Bali". These were the words echoed several times. when I showed this picture to my colleagues. "You mean there are highlands in Bali?"

You see, most people only perceive Bali as beach, sun and sand. Through our Bali driver-guide Bina, we were able to discover sites like these which completely blew our

minds away.

Look as us...dressed up for the beach but landed up at Bali Handara Golf course right on top of a mountain playing a round of golf. The weather is just perfect ... cool and crisp

without the wind. Next time, we will remember to bring along our sweaters.

We booked a Bali package tour and hired Bina for the job. Never did we expect to see some of the sites that we visited. It proved to be an excellent choice. All 4 of us were

particularly impressed with his mild and pleasant mannerism, customer-centric attitude and most importantly his flexibility to accommodate our every request. He went those extra miles to ensure that we really enjoyed ourselves.

Stopped at several places to gorge on durians and mangosteens. Sorry no photos --- were

too busy stuffing ourselves. These are little gems that Bina has intimate knowledge on.

We were pleasantly surprised with his patience and detailed local knowledge that probably only a Balinese would be aware of.

One more photo to end the long story.... see that picture of the Balinese lady with the basket of papayas? This is taken at a very very local market. No tourist except us. Thing is this --- there were 34-40 papayas in that basket. Took 3 men to load this onto her head so that she

can distribute these to the retailers. Notice the other basket with more papayas. I'll leave you to estimate the weight.

Overall an eye opening trip that Bina exposed us to. Even before the trip ended, we started to plan a return trip using Bina's services.

If you are in Bali and need to use a driver and car for any tours, use this guy. You can't be making a better choice.

My partner and I recently went to Bali and had the best experience because of Bina! He's is great, and we highly recommend him as your driver/tour guide. He was always punctual and gave us fantastic suggestions as what to see and do in the short time we spent on Bali. He can recommend outdoor activities, spas, beaches and hotes. You won't regret hiring Bina. His prices are competitive and reasonable for Bali so go ahead and book with him!!
Thanks Bina for giving us a memorable trip; we will see you soon again in Bali, Tom and Marco..USA

Like what he described himself, Simple, Friendly and Honest. Mr Bina had given us a wonderful and pleasant holiday in Bali, without worrying too much on the road. He always could give us some good recommendations as and when we needed one. I will definitely come back again, and have a good drink with Mr Bina..

"We had a great time with Bina as our driver! He was flexible in his arrangements as we tend to change the itinerary a lot. In addition, he tends to our needs and spend effort in introducing Bali to us. We would certainly recommend anyone who has the intention to travel Bali, to use Bina's services! Thank you Bina for being our driver. We will be back!"

Our party of 2 had an excellent experience with Bina as our driver during our five days in Bali, and would wholeheartedly recommend his services for anyone surfing into his website! Bina patiently attended to our many requests (e.g. booking of white water rafting) pre-trip, and continued to be highly accommodating and flexible as we made on-the-fly changes in our itinerary during the trip. He was always punctual and friendly, and generously offered precious insights into Balinese culture, food and history (Bina speaks excellent English). Thanks Bina for making our trip to Bali such a smooth-sailing one, and all the best for the new year!

Most Recommended Tour Driver

First of all, my wife and I would like to thank Bina for his hospitality and guidance in bringing us around Bali island for 5 days (8^th Jan – 12^th Jan 2011). We'd learned alot from him about the Balinese history, culture and day to day activities.

He's very punctual, responsive, attentive and reliable driver and guides. Because month of January is raining season in Bali. He keep checking the weather and confirm the bookings with event organizer to ensure no disappointment throughout our visits.

Before we went to Bali, we'd discussed things to do and places to visits via email. He's very professional and helping us to customize the itinerary accordingly. So we're not running like mad in Bali and enjoying our visits.

Things you must try; dolphin sighting at Singaraja, kueh lapis (very soft and delicious), and visit Ulun Danu Temple.

Hi Bina,

Many thanks for all the arrangement and we had a great time in Bali. Though it was a very short trip and I believe we will go again and we will contact you for our next trip. The next trip will be along trip so that we can cover more areas. My son is enjoying the Kueh Lapis and he says it's delicious.

Wishing you all the best and we hope we can recommend more of our friends to you for any Bali trip. Hopefully if we can recommend our clients too.
