we have been to SD2 (used to be called SD4) twice now. It's about 45 mins from Legian so one hour from Tuban would be pretty close. The first time we arranged to be taken by a driver in a van because I took 6 kids with me. I think the price was around Rp100,000. We spent about an hour at the school plus a quick home visit. Last time we used a blue taxi (using the meter). We were at the school for around 45 mins and we did a home visit (a bit longer this time because the sponsored child was sick and we spent more time with him). I think the taxi in total was about Rp130,000.
I would forget about this "Ketut" and make arrangements when you get to Bali. Sounds like he wants to rip you off before you even arrive.
