Bali High Way...

Excellent Service

“Excellent Service!” Reviewed June 18, 2013 NEW Myself and my partner went to Bali with our two young children (aged 2 and 4) in April this year and enquired as to a day trip with Gede. He promptly replied to my email and was available the day that I requested. He gave us a suggested itinary which I was very happy with, we just had a few changes which he was more than happy to accommodate. He turned up on time, can speak perfect English and his car was nice and clean. He took us to only the places we wanted to go, was more than happy to chat with us and give us suggestions if we asked for them. We needed him another day but he was unfortunately unavailable, however he asked us if we wanted him to organise one of his friends to help us on that day which we agreed to and that person was equally as good. We had a great time with Gede and would highly recommend him as a driver/guide. Visited April 2013

More tahn just a tour driver

“More than just a tour driver” Reviewed May 11, 2013 NEW Me and my girlfriend spend 5 days and 4 nights in Bali. We had zero trouble with Gede. He was very helpful, flexible with the schedule and above all, he can be a very good friend during your holiday. We did a lot of chatting and conversation about Bali's cultural, history and socioeconomic. We love to understand everything about the place that we visited and he could provide us all the answers that we wanted. Gede is a very highly recommended driver tour in Bali!!! Visited May 2013

A Good Day with gede

“A Good Day with Gede" Gede is a friendly, easy going and efficient private driver. He is flexible to our group's preferred attractions. He asked our schedule and was willing to help us maximize and enjoy our stay in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. He was willing to work out the day's plan without hassle. Our group just ran out of time on our second day missing Kuta Beach when Gede got caught in traffic picking us up in Ubud, and our group could not get out of Gunung Kawi due to its many, many steps especially going uphill add on the day's heat. Otherwise, his luncheon and dinner ideas are great. After we got picked up from the airport on the first night of arrival, he suggested Jimbaran Bay's seafood resto line, and I concurred because that bay was in the book I am following titled, "1000 Places To See Before You Die" by Patricia Schultz. Winner on the first night in Bali! Thanks Gede for your warm service. Future clients, go get him! Visited February 2013

Gede is another legend

“Gede is another legend!” Reviewed April 21, 2013 NEW Was this review helpful?Yes Great private driver/tour guide I ever had. He is helpful, friendly and many more to describe. Charging on very fair price for the whole day. Nevertheless, he is enjoying being a tour guide, and has the right attitude in the servicing line which I think it's distinguish with others in Bali. Unlike others, he runs extra miles that being our private photographer sometimes and captured our moments during the trip and send those edited pictures right after the day. In the sense that, I don't feel that he is working, but more like he is traveling and enjoying the activities with us. If you guys need a trustworthy driver/tour guide in Bali, call Gede and you won't regret. Visited April 2013

South Bali,Place to have to visit

South Bali is the most popular part of Bali and is where all the foreign tourists converge and where the action is. The best of Bali is displayed here, from Denpasar urban attractions to Nusa Dua exclusivity and Kuta scenic white sand beaches. Here is where most of the islands action takes place: shopping, relaxing in the sun and the vibrant and, at times, raucous nightlife. There are countless restaurants, bars, nightclubs and hotels of varying standards and budget to suit travellers from all market segments. KUTA If you go to South Bali and not be at Kuta, even for a few hours, then you will miss the very essence of what Bali is for this fun-filled city is the very essence of Bali. A once sleepy village on the road to the capital city of Denpasar, Kuta has evolved into a thriving tourist resort, especially among the young. Many avid surfers come to Kuta for its magnificent waves, although the strong currents make the sea less suitable for swimming. The village has a wide range of accommodation to suit the super duper rich in the elegant villa and five star luxury resorts to budget hotels and simple hostels and homestays. The town is choc a bloc with discotheques, clubs, restaurants, shops and every imaginable facility for tourist. One of the common services available in Kuta, and in most other beach destinations in Bali, is massage on the beach – masseurs rejuvenating your body while you lie and bask in the sun. Culture is evident in the nightly performances of Balinese music and traditional dances staged specially for tourists. As Kuta faces west over the Straits of Bali it offers visitors the best sunset on the island. LEGIAN Situated just next to Kuta, Legian beach is more laid-back compared to its bustling neighbour in the south. As Legian is not directly accessible by any public access road it is relatively quieter and more peaceful. The best way to explore this beach is on foot. Apart from its gorgeous beach Legian also offers one of the most stunning sunset in Bali. There is good surfing SEMINYAK Located north of Kuta and Legian, Seminyak is an upmarket resort with luxury accommodation and high-end shopping complexes, restaurants, bar and clubs. It is reputed as the spa and boutique shopping centre in Bali. CANGGU Located about 15 minutes drive from central Kuta, is popular with surfers as it has larger swells than those at Kuta. Plus its sandy beach this is the haunt of foreign tourists and expatriates living in Bali. Canggu is picturesque and tranquil with green rice fields reaching right down to the beach. It is not as upscale as Seminyak and offers affordable accommodation Kerobokan, a short distance from the centre of Legian, Seminyak and Denpasar, is another place that offers peace and serenity. It is a tranquil area surrounded by rice fields and is an ideal base from which to explore the rest of Bali. Nearby are furniture and handicraft shops that sell the goods at wholesale prices. It is a nice quiet place to rest and relax in resorts and hotels close by. For those who want some sun and sand they can go to Batu Belig and Legian Beach, which is about five minutes dr ive away. Kerobokan also known as expatriate community area that live and work in Bali. SANUR Sanur is Balis oldest upscale resort area and is a mature beachside town. It has an abundance of restaurants and accommodation, but it is quiet and a great place to have a relaxing holiday. In price range it is cheaper than Seminyak and more expensive than Kuta. Its palm-lined, white sand beach facing the Indian Ocean is considered one of the best in Bali and is ideal for a wide variety of activities. Sanur serenity appeal to most to middle-aged and older families, especially Europeans, and to families. It has many good hotels, restaurants, shops and other tourist facilities and s only a short distance from Denpasar. It is also full of spa offering treatments steeped in Balinese tradition and a day in the day is a highly recommended activity. Nearby are ancient temples and local villages where its inhabitants still practise age-old custom and culture NUSA DUA The Nusa Dua tourist belt has some of the most scenic beaches and luxurious beautiful resorts in South Bali. Its beaches are clean, the sea crystal clear and the surf perfect for surfing. It also has some of the best golf courses on the island. As well as a host of luxury hotels, Nusa Dua is home to the best golf courses and the main convention centre in Bali. Spas also abound in Nusa Dua and a traditional Balinese massage and spa treatment is one of the must-do activities in Nusa Dua. JIMBARAN Jimbaran village is on the narrow neck of Bali Island with two remarkably different beaches. On the west, Jimbaran Beach faces the Jimbaran Bay lined by new luxurious resorts. On the east the beach faces the body of water sheltered by Tanjung Benoa (Benoa Peninsula). Jimbaran is known for its fresh seafood and seafood restaurants abound along the beach. Diners choose the live seafood and it is cooked immediately, usually grilled over a fire of coconut husks. It also has some of Balis best five star hotels and resorts, as well as high-end villas, the latter usually perched on ridges high above Jimbaran Bay. Shopping here is a delight as there are a number of chic and exclusive boutiques. However it is not a place for nightlife. Visitors come to Jimbaran for its tranquillity, the fine white sandy beaches and the beautiful sunset. The traditional Jimbaran fish market at the northern end of the bay and next to the beach is worth a visit. Fishermen bring in their catch early in the morning and they display them on the beach for customers, most of whom are from Balis fine dining restaurants TANJUNG BENOA Tanjung Benoa, a former fishing village and an old dock, is today lined with deluxe hotels and resorts. Within walking distance from Nusa Dua the peninsula is popular with tourists on the search for water sports as it has one of the one of the most beautiful beaches in Bali with grey-white sand instead of the white sandy beaches found elsewhere on the island. The peninsula has a rustic village atmosphere with a landscape filled with numerous coconut groves and a Buddhist temple perched on its northern edge. Tanjung Benoa is also famous for its seafood and seafood restaurants, which offer spect acular views of the Nusa Penida cliffs across the Badung Strait. Just offshore is Serangan, commonly known as Turtle Island, the site of a sacred Sakenan temple dating back to the 16th century. The reef, lying 200 metres off the peninsula northeast tip, has a rich marine life and a large variety of colourful, tropical fish.

Gede the key to a true Balinese experience

“Gede the key to a true Balinese experience” Reviewed December 14, 2012 NEW We went to Bali from 6th to 10th December 2012. It was our first time there but it was not a problem at all thanks to Gede! We emailed him 2 weeks before our departure and he help us to plan our full itinerary. We used him for the full tenure of our stay. Gede was unassuming, honest, helpful, soft-spoken and polite. He is also great with kids, entertaining my sons' curiosity and antics with the flair and patience of a father figure. He took us to a lot of the tourist attractions and iconic Balinese sights, as much as we can cram into our days there. He also recommended good and safe places to eat and shop, and always remind us of necessary precautions to take. Gede was more than a driver and a guide, being a true Balinese he offered real insights on the Balinese way of life and very knowledgeable about Bali's historical and current affairs. We fell in love with beautiful Bali and had an awesome time there, and Gede was the key responsible for our whole experience. Thank you Gede, you are the best!
