2. Book ahead - usually cheaper - and sometimes they need minimum bookings before they go. My favourite trip was the Budya Bali Bike ride through small villages etc..
3. I book ahead by emailing a few names you get from the archives and Mics forum - we have agreed on 250000 per day but will also tip the driver 50000 if we like him. Most drivers are pretty good.
