Posted on TripadvisorVerified Tour guides that will make your trip really memorable. Putu, Kadek and others at Balifriend are amazing. There were 10 of us, older and somewhat incapacitated ladies that came to Bali to buy and learn how to make batik fabric amongst other things. These guys were with us the whole 2 weeks and took us everywhere. Putu was knowledgeable, helpful, a great driver and no matter how many bags or suitcases he had to schlepp about he did it with a smile. He and his brother and crew made this a vacation to remember. Definitely recommend them.Posted on TripadvisorVerified The Highlight of Our Trip to Bali – Thank You, Made! We spent two weeks in Bali, with 9 days of touring guided by the amazing Made Wira. From Seminyak to Ubud, Sidemen, Amed, Padang Bai, Uluwatu, Nusa Dua, and Kuta — Made made every stop special. He gave fantastic recommendations, avoided tourist traps, and adapted to our plans with ease. He was always early, drove safely and comfortably, and made sure we were well taken care of. His English is excellent, and his hospitality background really shows. Made taught us so much about Bali’s culture, history, and religion, and patiently answered all our questions. By the second day, he felt like part of the family — kind, funny, and thoughtful. He even looked after our sick kids and brought us fresh fruit daily, including things not even in season! Booking with Bali Friend Tour and riding with Made was the best decision we made. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough. If you can, book with them and ask for Made Wira — you won’t regret it!Posted on TripadvisorVerified A great time with a great driver on Bali! We were on holidays in July 2024 and for three weeks we enjoyed Bali and also visited Lombok. We were accompanied during our trips by Jana, our driver from Bali Friend Tour.The company Bali Friend Tour was accurate, very responsive and they provided us with tours and a great driver against friendly prices. Our driver was driving very safe in the balinese hectic traffic circumstances but also smart so we got everywhere in time. We never had to wait a minute to be picked up and were flexible to go and stop where and when we wanted. Jana is much more than a driver, he became our friend in Bali and showed us great places, talked about Balinese culture and history and always with humor and a smile. Our kids like him a lot and so did my wife and me. Nothing was too much for him. He also gave us some good advices and helped with tickets etc. I would recommend Jana anytime to anyone, he was truly a big contribution to our trip in Bali.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Amazing tour guide and transportation all around the island I can’t rave enough about our experience with Putu. My wife and I originally were scheduled to come to Bali in 2020 but with COVID our vacation was cancelled. We were in contact with Putu for a few years. Our friend highly recommended him several years ago. He was wonderful and we consider him a friend now. We used him for our airport transfer in to Seminyak and he arranged another driver, Tude to bring us to Ubud. Tude was also wonderful. We used Putu for a private tour around Ubud and it was wonderful. He can put together a customizable tour. We spent 10 hours with Putu and it was a magical day. We spent time seeing wonderful places. Putu also speaks excellent English. Putu arranged for a driver to take us from Ubud to Nusa Dua and he also brought us to Uluwatu. I can’t rave enough about Putu. He was very professional and always on time. I would highly recommend him to anyone coming to Bali for transportation around the island or customizable tours. Not only is he professional and efficient but an all around decent human being. He is a great photographer. I’d highly recommend you request Putu.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Awesome time in Nusa Penida. We went on a 2 day 1 night tour in Nusa Penida Bali. Our guide Mandra is an excellent driver, very respectful and knowledgeable. The itinerary of my tour consist of the east and west of Penida with west being on the first day. Instead, he suggested we go to the east first as it was further and less popular. I guess people who took a day tour would choose the west tour as that is where the most popular Kelingking Beach (T-Rex) is. We didn't have to fight the crowd. It was wonderful visiting Diamond and Atuh Beach (side by side) then to the Treehouse and Teletubbies Hill (the later isn't quite popular but my kids had a kick living their favourite childhood tv programme!) The next day we started early before the crowd from the main island came in! Angel Billabong and Broken Beach were almost deserted and when we left Kelingking Beach, streams of cars were just getting there!! Amazing insight from our tour guide Mandra! Awesome and humble guy. We had an incredible time in Nusa Penida. Had a good laugh at other people's antics trying to get that perfect Instagram shots. One guide even shouted "you will get 10, 000 likes with this photo" hahahaa the world we live in now! I highly recommend Balifriend tour. They're safe, friendly and experienced in guiding me and my boys.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Great day out Lovely day out, thank you! Our driver was flexible with the itinerary, helpful, pleasant, always happy and spoke good English. The car was clean and comfortable.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Great Tour Nice Guide with Great explanations to culture and art. I learnt a lot- good alternatives if you don’t want the instagram crowds - Recommendation for everyoneLoad more
