“Exellent Bali Driver - Ketut Suwendra”
Reviewed 13 August 2012
My partner and I visted Bali for the first time in August 2012, and we engaged Ketut to drive us around to all the attractions in Bali. Ketut was friendly, reliable, always on time, spoke english well, and told us a lot about Bali's culture. He knew all the good attractions, helped us planned where to go each day and drove safely. He also went to the trouble of researching our villa and telephoning ahead to let them know we were coming, when we went to stay at a villa in the middle of the rice fields.
He has a large, relatively new and aircondioned Toyota which was very comfortable. He also has all the required licences (drivers licence, car licence and licence to carry tourists) so we did not get stopped at all by the police. I would highly recommend Ketut to anyone wanting a good reliable driver in Bali.

“Fantastic Bali Driver”
KETUT IS THE BEST BALI DRIVER! Really made my holiday extra special!
I have traveled in Bali a number of times and tried a few different private drivers. I must say that Ketut is by far the best I have had the pleasure to engage. A really genuine nice guy with a late model air conditioned Toyota that was always spotless!
From the first contact via email Ketut was easy to deal with, answering all my questions in detail and providing pricing for my itinerary.
Ketut is based in Ubud but happy to travel afar, even staying overnight when needed. I traveled to North Bali where I stayed for a number of days and Ketut made the journey a pleasure by providing loads of great information about the sights, Bali culture and points of interest along the way whilst stopping at scenic spots and amazing restaurants with top food & views to take your breath away.
Ketut looked after us like a close friend from the moment we met at the airport. He was extremely helpful, polite and flexible to our needs. It was no problem to drive us for hours in the day then return to our villa to take us to dinner no matter how late we stayed out. Ketut also provided great suggestions on things to do and see, where to shop, eat and safely change money.
After North Bali we stayed in kuta-ubud. As we had come to think of Ketut as a great companion we suggested we meet his wife whilst in Ubud. This was a lovely experience, Ketut's wife Kadek was warm and welcoming - what a great couple!
I have stayed in email contact with Ketut since returning home and plan to always use him as my Bali driver in the future. Having the same great driver for the whole of a holiday is certainly the way to go. It makes your holiday experience so much better! I thoroughly recommend Ketut to anyone who really wants to enjoy their time in Bali with a safe, reliable, honest driver who caters to all your needs.

Reviewed 15 August 2013
Hi,
I have recently visited Bali - the wonderful island of Indonesia. For some reasons, I was travelling alone, and felt not very comfortable to get around the island by myself, that is why, before leaving for Bali, I was looking for a private driver to get safely to various famous / beautiful places in Bali. My college recommended Ketut, I wrote him my expectations, he answered at once with the perfect plan for visiting places - in one day I saw so many that I wouldn't be able to do by myself in few days! Ketut was very punctual (pick me up from hotel) , showed where we could go, in one day we even managed to reach Volcano in Kintamani, all way to this place he was telling me a interesting things about Bli, about people in Bali, it was a very interesting trip, I saw more not like a tourist, but as a local guy, we stopped anywhere I asked, or he recommended, that was worth to see, in one day we visited coffee plantation (highly recommend to do this during Your staying in Bali), rice terraces, Volcano, Monkey forest, even the traditional house of Balinese, Ketut waited for me in every stop, and I was feeling safe. The driving conditions in Bali is rather difficult, narrow roads, lot of motorbikes, but Ketut is a very good driver! So all in all, if You are going to visit Bali, my best recommendations - call to Ketut, and You will have all service in one - safe driver, interesting guide, local protection (in case), wonderful trip and impressions in sightseeing for a reasonable (low) price!

We have booked with ketut suwendra for 2 full days and we had such a wonderful time! He was informative, speaks very good English and professional. There were places we requested to see and he was very flexible with our needs which made our trip infinitely better than expected. Comfortable ride, friendly and professional service, and flexibility. I would recommend him to everyone who would like to explore the beautiful Bali.

“This guys genuine and a great driver”
Once again had the pleasure of Ketut's company for a trip to Ubud and around. He is a great driver- knows how to avoid the traffic jams and took my friends and took my friends and I to some great spots, esp a gallery where we bought some truly beautiful original art(did not see anything like this artists work anywhere)
Thanks Ketut, the girls and I enjoyed the day

“Fantastic driver and great with kids!”
Ketut is extremely patient and ever willing to fit to all your requests and requirements whenever he could. He listens attentively and caters to what you need. Traveling with a 3 year old kid can be challenging but a good driver like Ketut makes a whole lot of difference. Thanking for making our trip a success! Your safe driving skills also makes us feel assured!

We just got back from a week long vacation in Bali. We used Ketut from the very first day that we were arrived there. He is courteous, punctual, knowledgable and kind. He will take you to local places and is aware of prices, so that you have options in choosing your activities. Nice, roomy car with AC. He drives smoothly and doesn't take unnecessary chances wit traffic. He goes above and beyond meeting expectations! Will use him when we go back!

After researching Trip Advisor, we took up the suggestion of hiring a driver for the day, and Ketut specifically. His service was impeccable. We created our own tour and made flexible stops. He promptly picked us up at our hotel in a late model, comfortable clean car. Communication to make the arrangements was all done by email. He was able to suggest eating places that we would never of found on our own and subtley infused the Balinese culture as we inquisitly discussed daily life we observed as we passed through our surroundings. Look him up while in Bali. His service is reliable and Ketut is a honest and very personable fellow.

“Excellent driver”
5 of 5 starsReviewed September 18, 2013
On a last minute trip to Bali, I was looking for a driver to tour us around the island as we only had one day.
I found Ketut's information on various forums on Tripadvisor and decided to e-mail him. Within an hour I received his comprehensive reply in which he already recommended a couple of places to visit.
He arrived at the hotel early to pick us up and made a plan with us. During the day he was forthcoming in providing us with information, making changes to our initial plan to suit our needs and interests.
All in all, booking Ketut made for an amazing day- we saw a lot of interesting sites and ate at amazing local venues thanks to him. I'd recommend him to anyone!

Ketut has been helpful whenever we need advice on what/where to eat.
I've wrote to Ketut before we've confirmed on his service and he gave some humble opinion but not forcing us to go to particular shops.
It was good time with Ketut during the journey and he always brought us to place that more local and less commercial in term of price and also people.
Furthermore, he still helped us to find back our staff that we've left in SPA even it's not his duty to do that.

“Polite reliable driver”
5 of 5 starsReviewed September 4, 2013
We used Ketut as a driver twice during our recent stay.
He was punctal, very polite and pleasant. A very careful driver, and courteous to other road users. He was happy to talk and tell us about Bali, but not too chatty.
He was very clever at getting thru and around the traffic jams. It was much more relaxing to be driven around by someone who knew the roads than to try to drive ourselves.
On the first day he got us to our destination early despite massive traffic and a fire along the route, and called the spa to ensure he was going to the correct place, which was hard to find. He was happy to wait until we were ready to leave.
We also went on a tour for a full day, and Ketut was great at suggesting places to go, how long it would take and discussing various options.
As mentioned above the coffee plantation was nice, and the temples we went to beautiful and not crowded. He also took us to a great restaurant in Ubud, and a couple of less known viewing spots to avoid the crowds, and we were lucky to get to lots of spots ahead of other groups.
It was pleasant to spend the day in his company and I highly recomend him to other travellers.

“We love Ketut!!!”
5 of 5 starsReviewed 11 July 2014 NEW
We met Ketut last September after he came highly recommended by a family friend and he far exceeded her praise. Touring Bali the first time was made so easy as I gave him a list of activities and sights that we wanted to see and do and he put together a great itinerary for us.
As soon as I'd booked holidays this year I contacted Ketut and as usual he was willing and able to fit us in!!
While his driving skills speak for themselves, the extra time and care he put in to our holiday is what we love the most about him.
If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable and entertaining friend to drive you around Bali then you should definitely contact Ketut!!

You will never find driver as patient and nice as him in Bali. Also he is very trustworthy and reliable. You can see the moment you meet him that he is a patient and genuine driver. Always use his service everytime i go to Bali. Never disappointed, recently i recommended him to my friends. They are also very happy with his service. Go look for him if you happen to visit bali :))

“Ketut showed us Bali through eyes of a native and it was amazing!”
Ketut was instrumental in planning our trip and helping us find great deals! He would then live up to his name (Bali safe driver) by safely getting is to each site. He explained various cultural or spiritual practices to us. When it came time to stop for lunch or dinner, Ketut tried to be respectful by leaving us but he became such a part of our journey that we would insist he eat with us. Ketut is very professional and courteous. He is also knowledgeable and savvy. We truly could not have experienced Bali better! We cannot wait to return when our sons are older!

We used Ketut Suwendra to transfer us between hotels and provide a day tour along the way. He was a very safe driver, very careful (which can't be said for all drivers on the island).
It was nice to be able to customize our itinerary with him both in advance (he had lots of ideas on what we could see and do along the way) and also on the day of the tour we were able to add or exclude things along the way based on how tired we were/weather/etc.
There are lots of private drivers on the island, but I can definitely recommend Ketut.

5 of 5 starsReviewed September 18, 2013
On a last minute trip to Bali, I was looking for a driver to tour us around the island as we only had one day.
I found Ketut's information on various forums on Tripadvisor and decided to e-mail him. Within an hour I received his comprehensive reply in which he already recommended a couple of places to visit.
He arrived at the hotel early to pick us up and made a plan with us. During the day he was forthcoming in providing us with information, making changes to our initial plan to suit our needs and interests.
All in all, booking Ketut made for an amazing day- we saw a lot of interesting sites and ate at amazing local venues thanks to him. I'd recommend him to anyone!

“Polite and Reliable”
5 of 5 starsReviewed September 17, 2013
Ketut has been helpful whenever we need advice on what/where to eat.
I've wrote to Ketut before we've confirmed on his service and he gave some humble opinion but not forcing us to go to particular shops.
It was good time with Ketut during the journey and he always brought us to place that more local and less commercial in term of price and also people.
Furthermore, he still helped us to find back our staff that we've left in SPA even it's not his duty to do that.

“Polite reliable driver”
5 of 5 starsReviewed September 4, 2013
We used Ketut as a driver twice during our recent stay.
He was punctal, very polite and pleasant. A very careful driver, and courteous to other road users. He was happy to talk and tell us about Bali, but not too chatty.
He was very clever at getting thru and around the traffic jams. It was much more relaxing to be driven around by someone who knew the roads than to try to drive ourselves.
On the first day he got us to our destination early despite massive traffic and a fire along the route, and called the spa to ensure he was going to the correct place, which was hard to find. He was happy to wait until we were ready to leave.
We also went on a tour for a full day, and Ketut was great at suggesting places to go, how long it would take and discussing various options.
As mentioned above the coffee plantation was nice, and the temples we went to beautiful and not crowded. He also took us to a great restaurant in Ubud, and a couple of less known viewing spots to avoid the crowds, and we were lucky to get to lots of spots ahead of other groups.
It was pleasant to spend the day in his company and I highly recomend him to other travellers.
Regards

“With Ketut Suwendra - easy to know Bali”
5 of 5 starsReviewed August 15, 2013
Hi,
I have recently visited Bali - the wonderful island of Indonesia. For some reasons, I was travelling alone, and felt not very comfortable to get around the island by myself, that is why, before leaving for Bali, I was looking for a private driver to get safely to various famous / beautiful places in Bali. My college recommended Ketut, I wrote him my expectations, he answered at once with the perfect plan for visiting places - in one day I saw so many that I wouldn't be able to do by myself in few days! Ketut was very punctual (pick me up from hotel) , showed where we could go, in one day we even managed to reach Volcano in Kintamani, all way to this place he was telling me a interesting things about Bli, about people in Bali, it was a very interesting trip, I saw more not like a tourist, but as a local guy, we stopped anywhere I asked, or he recommended, that was worth to see, in one day we visited coffee plantation (highly recommend to do this during Your staying in Bali), rice terraces, Volcano, Monkey forest, even the traditional house of Balinese, Ketut waited for me in every stop, and I was feeling safe. The driving conditions in Bali is rather difficult, narrow roads, lot of motorbikes, but Ketut is a very good driver! So all in all, if You are going to visit Bali, my best recommendations - call to Ketut, and You will have all service in one - safe driver, interesting guide, local protection (in case), wonderful trip and impressions in sightseeing for a reasonable (low) price! (phone number 08179781331)

“We love Ketut!!!”

We met Ketut last September after he came highly recommended by a family friend and he far exceeded her praise. Touring Bali the first time was made so easy as I gave him a list of activities and sights that we wanted to see and do and he put together a great itinerary for us.
As soon as I'd booked holidays this year I contacted Ketut and as usual he was willing and able to fit us in!!
While his driving skills speak for themselves, the extra time and care he put in to our holiday is what we love the most about him.
If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable and entertaining friend to drive you around Bali then you should definitely contact Ketut!!

You will never find driver as patient and nice as him in Bali. Also he is very trustworthy and reliable. You can see the moment you meet him that he is a patient and genuine driver. Always use his service everytime i go to Bali. Never disappointed, recently i recommended him to my friends. They are also very happy with his service. Go look for him if you happen to visit bali :))

“Ketut showed us Bali through eyes of a native and it was amazing!”
Ketut was instrumental in planning our trip and helping us find great deals! He would then live up to his name (Bali safe driver) by safely getting is to each site. He explained various cultural or spiritual practices to us. When it came time to stop for lunch or dinner, Ketut tried to be respectful by leaving us but he became such a part of our journey that we would insist he eat with us. Ketut is very professional and courteous. He is also knowledgeable and savvy. We truly could not have experienced Bali better! We cannot wait to return when our sons are older!

A very safe driver”

We used Ketut Suwendra to transfer us between hotels and provide a day tour along the way. He was a very safe driver, very careful (which can't be said for all drivers on the island).
It was nice to be able to customize our itinerary with him both in advance (he had lots of ideas on what we could see and do along the way) and also on the day of the tour we were able to add or exclude things along the way based on how tired we were/weather/etc.
There are lots of private drivers on the island, but I can definitely recommend Ketut.
