Highlights

Tegenungan Waterfall - Tegenungan Waterfall is situated in the village of Tegenungan Kemenuh, Gianyar, north of Denpasar, and near the artistic hub of Ubud. Though somewhat secluded, it has become a favored tourist spot. Unlike many other waterfalls in Bali, it is not located in highland or mountainous areas. The water’s volume and clarity vary with rainfall, but the site is surrounded by lush greenery and features fresh water suitable for swimming. Visitors can climb varying heights after descending stairs to reach the waterfall. There is also a vantage point offering views of the jungle and the waterfall.

Mengening Temple - Mengening Temple is a Hindu Balinese water temple near Tampaksiring. The temple complex includes a petirtaan, or bathing structure, renowned for its holy spring water, which Balinese Hindus use for ritual purification. The temple pond has a spring that regularly provides fresh water, considered sacred by Balinese Hindus.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace - The Tegalalang rice terraces offer a picturesque view that extends downwards and across the valley to the rice paddies on the opposite slopes. The elevated roadside location is cool and breezy, making it a popular spot for tourists to stop and take photos.

D Alas Warung Restaurant - A pleasant place for lunch with a beautiful view of the jungle and rice terraces.

Sukawati Art Market - Sukawati Art Market is one of Bali’s oldest art markets, showcasing a variety of handicrafts.

Bali Culture at it’s best - We learned a lot about Bali Culture with the help of our guide - Komang. He made this experience very special by allowing us to witness how they do their offerings and we were able to do offerings ourselves at the water blessing at Mengening Temple. The food at D’Alas Warung Restaurant was also delicious. We also enjoyed the rice terraces. Would definitely recommend this tour. And our tour guide Komang!

An Excellent Service from a Balinese - If there is one person who will go the EXTRA MILE to ensure that your trip is perfect-that's him. We are forever grateful to you and to your collegues for the dedication, love, patience you have extended to our group. (45 people total) I know I have given you so many sleepless nights for the arrangement (both planned and unplanned). But you did an AMAZING JOB. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Until our next visit in Bali. May the Universe bless you more, Ketut. Please extend my heartfelt gratitude to your team. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (July 29 - Aug 4)

Highly recommend Safe Bali Driver Company ( Ketut Suwenda and Team ) - Highly recommended! We traveled in October/November to Bali. We used Safe Bali Driver Company Services for local sight seeing across Bali from Kintamani, Ubud, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu. Ketut and team were so courteous, patient and professional. We had a very safe, enjoyable, comfortable and memorable trip. Our 11 member family ( ages 5yrs to 80 years) was so well taken care of. Ketut and Agung were so considerate and caring towards the requirements of different age groups, they scheduled all our sight seeing accordingly. They were so flexible, accommodating and patient with us. Ever cheerful!! We call them our "Bali Angels" By the end of our trip, we felt like they were part of our family. Ketut is so wise and knowledgeable about the traditions and customs of Bali, we are grateful for the insight into the Balinese culture that he has given us. Such an enriching experience. Ketut is also so very prompt and efficient in communication and clarifying all trip planning queries. I interacted with 4 other travel companies before our trip, but found Ketut and team the best overall in terms of professionalism, prompt communication and efficiency! Without a doubt they will be our guides in our next visit to Bali! Best wishes from me and my family to Ketut and Team!

Excellent introduction to interesting sites in and around Ubud - Safe Bali driver had very good reviews which are very accurate and matched our experience. Ketut was very accommodating and flexible in order to make the day trip something we would be interested in seeing. Both the driver and guide were very good and I wouldn't hesitate to book them again.

Amazing Bali experience - My friend and I had an amazing trip to Bali! This was my second time visiting Bali and using Ketut as our private driver, after our last experience I couldn’t have been more happier! Ketut remained professional and outgoing throughout the entire trip! We learnt so much as well as making amazing memories and we couldn’t have done it without Ketut! The entire trip ran seamlessly, getting around was a breeze! I will strongly recommend Ketut as a private tour guide to anyone travelling in small groups and people new to Bali! It was definitely a safe journey with Ketut and will definitely be back again!

Excellent tour around Bali - We were very lucky to find Safe Bali Tour for our days in Bali. And mostly, with our driver and guide Agung, he was the best guide we could have: extremely kind, very talkative, with good knowledge about everything and a very easy going person. In addition, he drives very smooth and always being safe, taking care of us. We definitely would repeat with him if we go back to Bali, and we definitely recommend him. Best regards from Spain, Alberto & Nuria

Perfect in every way... including local cuisine!!! - My wife and I had wonderful time in Bali (7th-12th June), made perfect by our guides/drivers: Ketut & Boli. If it is possible to give them 10 Stars or more we would. English speaking, polite, patient, culturally knowledgeable enlightening us, brought us to great places of interest, guiding us on local products, their air-conditioned cars were comfortable, even their recommendations of superb local cuisines were perfect!! We will be back... most definitely.. with Ketut and Boli of course!
