Excellent day trip experience with Gede

“Excellent day trip experience with Gede”

Reviewed February 25, 2012 NEW

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! :)

First Trip To Bali

Brendan - 2012-02-21 22:20:45

We arrived at DPS airport to be met with a huge smile and from that moment on I knew that my family would enjoy their time in Bali.

Gede was informative,punctual,friendly and his english was first class.We had a hoot, he even arrived the first day with an esky full of ice for our day trip, which forced me to pack a couple of Bintangs for the trip. Could not recommend highly enough my wife and I and two teenage children had a great time.

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!

Thank you so much

Dear Gede,
thank you so very much for all that you did to make Bali come alive for my friends and for me. We were all thrilled with the tour, with your kindnesses and with the sites that we saw.

Also, I have written to my brother who owns a cruise travel agency in the States, and sent him a copy of your card. I do hope he will refer some clients to you.

Once again, thank you for the tour, for the comfort of your car, and for being so kind to all of us.

Sharon Morton.

Thank you...

Hello Pak Gede,

Thank you for bring me and my friend around. It's been an enjoyable experience to discover new places n roads. Hope to visit madewi and also lovina soon. Special thanks to Pak Soma who is very sincere and accommodating to show my friend the tourism places as it is the first visit and balancing up with me who frequent to bali to discover new beaches and places.

I will contact you again on my next trip next year to discover lovina and more interesting places in Bali.

I never get sick of Bali.

Terima kasih banyak banyak Pak.

Trip To Bali Memorable

Dear Gede, thank you for your part in making my first trip to Bali memorable. It was so good to be met at the aiport and not have to worry about finding my own way to Sanur. I enjoyed the drive to Ubud a week later, and after I mentioned my areas of interest you know exactly where to take me (loved the silver jewellery place!). The warung you took me to for lunch at Ubud had the best (very spicy) nasi goreng I had during the whole trip. Thanks for talking to me and answering my many questions about Bali - makes it so much easier to understand the culture, "fit in" and not make "innocent" mistakes. The handweaving and batik making place (on the drive to the Denpasar and the airport on the day of my departure) was interesting and I have a few good photos. Busy Kuta is not on my list of places to return to for reasons we talked about! I’ll be in touch again when I next come to Bali, hopefully next year.

Unforgetable experience

kristin phillips - 2011-07-27 06:24:28

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

Punctual&Honest

Dear Gede
Thank you so much for your friendly, honest and punctual service. You made our second trip to Bali better than our first. We all felt so comfortable and well understood. You gave us invaluable informatin to help us plan our trip and we enjoyed hearing all about the Bali culture. We would recommend you to anyone! We hope to see you again and would love to hear when the baby arrives - good luck. A big thumbs up from Kym, Frank, Tiarna & Riley.

Trip to Bali

We have just returned from probably our 10th trip to Bali and not having been there since 2001 many changes had taken place. One of the things that had not changed was the warmth and friendliness of the people, epitomised by our driver, Pak Gede. Gede was introduced to us by a good friend and we were delighted with every aspect of his driving and care for us. Gede is a very fluent English speaker, a safe and careful driver and attended to our particular needs with meticuluos attention. His car is very roomy (4 of us with all our luggage),sparkling clean inside and out, and he knew all the best roads and places to visit. We can recomend Gede without qualification to anyone as being reliable, honest and a delightful person with whom to keep company. We wish him and his family all the best.

Thanks for making our short stay in Bali worth to be remembered. In 2 and 1/2 half days, we were able to enjoy Bali’s most tourist spots and feel the warmth and sincerity of the Balinese.
I and my sister would like to thank both of you for being helpful and thoughtful to find the “Muslim Halal’ eatery place as well the ‘musollah’/ masjid for us to stop to perform our prayer.
I am very fascinated with the information given by both of you in regards with Bali day to day life culture, history and values.
As a lover of traditional art & culture I find the trip that you have arranged for us have met my expectation and I am very satisfied with the arrangement, reasonable price and punctuality. We don’t feel that we were guided by a tourist guide in fact we feel like we were guided by our own friends.
Last but not least, I really appreciate in the effort that you’ve made in finding me the local durian (the green durian) which I love the most during the last day of our trip.
We hope to be able to experience what we have missed during this trip in the near future. We would like to wish both of you great success in your area and I strongly recommend both of you to others especially the first timer and the Muslim visitors in Bali.

Cheers
