Why guests choose us?
To help answer this, let’s consider a typical tour service—a private tour driver in Bali.
 
Typical Private Tour Driver in Bali
 
  • Doesn’t speak English, or speaks very little (can say “Hi, how are you?” and “Sorry, I speak English, fifty-fifty” :)

 

  • Often late, or may even cancel your pickup at the last minute because they got a better-paying client and prefer to take them instead

 

  • Drives you through traffic instead of taking shortcuts to avoid it. As a result, you end up visiting fewer places (why visit spots when you can just relax in an air-conditioned car? That’s how he thinks :)

 

  • Drops you off in the parking lot and doesn’t join you at attractions (why go with you when it’s extra work for him? He’d rather nap in the car :)

 

  • No guarantees and no refund policy (ruined your vacation, but you still have to pay for it, unfortunately).

 

How We Work
 
  • We speak English well, thanks to daily practice with guests from all over the world :)
 
  • We’re always on time to pick up guests from their hotels.
 
  • We know the roads well and always take the fastest routes, even those not so obvious.
 
  • We show our guests the attractions, not just the parking lots :)
 
  • Our quality is guaranteed, as shown by over 900 reviews on trusted platforms. And if a guest isn’t satisfied with our service (it can happen to anyone), we offer a refund.
