Great experience overall, just wished we had a bit more time at the rice terraces for photos. Guide was friendly and spoke good English.

Great and reliable service
As I was holidaying in a remote location near Sukawati before arriving in Bali, I contacted a number of drivers via TripAdvisor to provide transfers to and from Ubud and Sanur. Nyoman was the only driver to contact me to say he could help. We then corresponded by WhatsApp and I ended up hiring him as my driver for 3 days! He was always responsive to communication, earlier or right on time for each transfer and nothing was too much trouble. Sometimes my plans changed and I needed him to come earlier or later and he was very accommodating with every change. Very polite, reliable person and price is fair. Would highly recommend!

Reliable and trustworthy
I loved their service! They arranged cabs and tours as per our requirement and even made last moment adjustments as per our request. The cabs were clean, on time pick-up, waited even when we delayed a bit and drivers were very polite. Hastle free communication on WhatsApp. Over all it was a very pleasant experience with them. Just make sure that payment is made only after the service is provided and you are satisfied with it.

Bali was absolutely AMAZING!!
I went for 6 days honeymoon to Bali. Booked our package through "Amazing Bali tours". Had a stress free vacation and received a fantabulous service from our tour guide/driver Dewa. He was super helpful in showing us around and won't hesitate to go out of his way to make sure we are having a great time. I really recommend booking your package with Amazing Bali tours. The price was super reasonable as well.
