Firstly, let me introduce myself… My name is GEDE SUYASA and most people just call me GEDE which is pronounced like the English greeting ‘G’day’. With this blog, We offer my clients personally customised tours with each itinerary especially designed to your interests and tastes. Whether it is sightseeing, culture, art, shopping or just cruising around Bali exploring parts of the island you have never seen, I am happy to ensure your journey is relaxing and comfortable for your needs.
Among numerous Bali drivers we had the pleasure of using, Gede would be in the top.
He is nice looking, well groomed, polite and his knowledge of English allows you to discuss local topics with him for a whole day.
His van is very comfortable and nice looking, his driving responsible and his prices quite reasonable.
Once enjoying his level of service, you will be booking him repeatedly later - rest assured.
Gede is our default driver when we stay in Bali.
I know Gede and would recommend him to my friends as an excellent guide and driver. When I was in Bali he took us to places that were very special where not many tourists go. He knows Bali because it is home and he is steeped in its traditions and culture. He cares deeply about his family and community. If you want to know Bali in a deeper way than the hype and bright lights, he is your man. I am sure he can find you the fun spots you want too.
Gede spent Christmas in our home many years ago and we gave him a tee shirt that said, "G'day from Australia". He is a lovely person, who is bright, generous and caring, has integrity and cares about his clients and his work. Our family has kept in touch over the years and enjoyed watching his lovely sons grow. I hope you will use him for your holiday in Bali.
Gede picked us up from our Nusa Dua resort and drove us for one whole day and showed us the tanah lot temple, wood carving shops, and elephant cave. Although we had booked him for two days, we were very tired at the end of day 1 and asked him if we could cancel day 2. He was extremely courteous and replied that it was "no problem" with a smile!
He is very responsive and accessible via email and phone txt messages which made communication very easy. We booked him to pick us up from our hotel in Ubud to the airport and he arrived 30 minutes ahead of time! He also took us to a temple on the way to the airport, another late request at no extra charge.
I highly reccomend Gede. Be sure to ask him questions, he knows a lot but is not very chatty unless asked. It is probably the balinese politeness! :)
This trip was our second to Bali and was also the second where we asked Gede to look after us. Apart from taking us to really interesting places Gede was great to talk to about culture. He really expanded our learnings. We have passed on his business details to Darwin friends and family going to Bali and will continue to do so!

| Dear Gede, You helped to make my first trip to Bali an unforgetable experience. Thanks for your advice on where to go and what to see. Without you I doubt we would have gone white water rafting or to a butterfly farm. We would never have found a cup of coffe luwak in the midst of a garden. Your patient and safe driving was much appreciated. It was a real honour to be there on the day that your new baby girl arrived. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who was coming to Bali. Warm Regards Kristin and Jack |
A big thumbs up from Kym, Frank, Tiarna & Riley.
