Fantastic Full Day Tour - We had a fantastic day with DeDe our driver and guide. He was a wealth of knowledge on all things local. Great English and excellent sense of humour. Happy to talk and share freely about not only the attractions we visited (and there were plenty) but also life in Bali. All in all a fantastic day trip. We would highly recommend. 😀

Private Tour with personalized itenerary - This is a private tour that will bring you around Ubud. We booked this tour with Putu, his the owner of the Abadibali Transport company and he gave Asta as our Driver/Tour Guide/Photographer 🤣. Putu is very accommodating and friendly during my inquires and he can alter whatever you like to visit. This is the reason why we booked 3 days tour with Abadibali Transport. Also Asta is very friendly and he's willing to help and suggest any thing you want nor take your pictures unlimited🤣✌️ Thank you so much Asta for a big help on us.

Best of ubud - Fantastic day starting with having a selfie with monkeys to visiting sacred temple and enjoying an isolated jungle swing away from the masses of tourists at the rice fields. Our guide GEDE was again on top form with interesting information at all stops and also assisting with video and photo taking.

Amazing day - We spent the day with Asta today and what an amazing day. From the moment he picked us up at the hotel Asta was very friendly, had a great personality and he kept us laughing all day. He was very knowledgeable and provided very clear explanations and information on the different places we visited. The tour itself was very well organized and provided a very good overview of Bali life & culture which was very great for my sister as this was her first trip to Bali. Highly recommend this tour and thanks to Asta and his photo skills we have so many memories to last us a lifetime

Tour Around Bali With Leon - Our tour guide was very nice, friendly and helpful, and was a very good driver. We got to visit the monkey forest, temple, art gallery, silver making place, wood carving, coffee plantation, and Bali swing. It was a very enjoyable trip and was heaps of fun, especially when the monkeys climbed onto our heads.

Best of Ubud - What a wonderful way to spend a day, taking in a variety of truly memorable scenic and cultural experiences. In acknowledging the wonderful day that my wife and I experienced it would be remiss if I failed to acknowledge the wonderful contribution of our driver and guide Ngurah. His ability to provide a knowledgeable, meaningful contribution to the dialogue significantly enhanced a marvellous day out and about in Ubud. Two final points, firstly I cannot thank Ngurah enough for the assistance provided to my wife who as it happened was recovering from knee surgery and finally many thanks to the operator for the willingnesss to reschedule at very short notice. All in all, a most memorable day.

Amazing service and driver. - I’m not sure where to begin with Ravi our driver and tour guide operator. We spent five days with him in Bali. Ravi was never late, always on time, his vehicle was spotless, he was a very conservative and safe driver! Ravi’s English is excellent and his suggestions of where to go what to visit and what to see really enhanced time with what we had planned to do. My wife Susan and myself can’t say enough about what Ravi did for us and how much he made a pleasure for us and our family. We can’t thank you enough Ravi for all you did and the time you spent with us. You are a must use driver for anyone coming to Bali! See you soon and again!

GREAT TRIP!! - Had a really GOOD time in Ubud. We visited amazing cultural and scenic locations and enjoyed taking photos and taking in the moment. Asta our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun and always positive throughout the trip as we visited places such as the Lempuyang Temple, enjoyed great coffee tasting at Luwak Coffee and many more such as Beautiful waterfalls :D. The drive was fun with the stunning view of rice fields and Ubud nature. Overall a worthwhile trip if you want to explore Ubud in a day, the people you meet along the way are so friendly and helpful, made the trip even more better!
