He is 29/30 born in Bali and knows the area well - give him a call and he will drive you anywhere - We always paid for meals& drinks for him but he doesn't expect it. Ring him when you get there and arrange a meeting so you can discuss trips and prices and then decide. One trip I was alone ( met friends there but did my own thing on many occasions and at 50 +++ a little more cautious.He didn't want to take all the money for the day because I was on my own - to me it was only an extra few dollars but to him a weeks rent. He will not overwhelm you by taking you to all the commission places to buy things. I love his sincerity and honesty and have always felt safe in his company. Any questions feel free to email me. I have confidently recommended him to many friends and work mates and the feedback has always been very positive & supportive.
He doesn't get to check his email as much now so ring him before you go or wait till you get there and meet him . He will come to your hotel or villa . His English is great - he has worked in NZ a couple of times .
