About Bali Holiday Secrets:

Let me help lower the risk of something going wrong during your Bali holiday. After years of passing on insider tips to family and friends, I'm sharing my local knowledge about money, transport, attractions and day tours.

Transfers from Bali Airport to your hotel or villa are easy if you book ahead. Remove the stress from arriving at Bali Airport and book a private car and driver to personally meet you and get you to your accommodations quickly and easily. Be met on arrival by one of my personally vetted, English-speaking drivers and receive comprehensive, detailed instructions on navigating the airport and making contact with your personal driver straight after booking.

Our day tours get rave reviews because my network of local drivers is second to none. I have personally vetted all the drivers I work with. They text me when they pick you up and again when you have been dropped off at the end of the day. I also email your driver’s name, profile photo, vehicle photo and phone number beforehand to ensure your safety and provide confidence. They are all incredibly knowledgeable and make amazing guides for your day tours around Bali.

I found "Michael" on a Google search and I am so glad I did. His drivers (so far I have dealt with 3 of them) all speak good English and are knowledgeable of Bali. Our driver offered to take us out for days if he had any gaps in his schedule and having seen how busy the roads are and how people drive I am glad I took up his offer. The price of the airport transfer in a private car was excellent value and it gave me a chance to find out all about Bali and how things work. That was worth the price alone. You will get a picture of the driver that is picking you up and you send them a picture of yourself and then that way you can recognise your driver . Your driver will be carrying a card with the company name on it so nobody else can jump in and use your name in an effort to 'steal' your business.

Just what a newbie to Bali needs to know! We were very happy with all the airport info provided, especially when it was updated by other readers, eg the old farts lane in immigration now being on the left. We had two drivers over 3 days, the peripatetic Gede, who had a lot of fingers in a lot of pies, and the equally knowledgeable and smiling Dendong. They didn't just ask where we wanted to go, they also made helpful suggestions, much as a guide would do. And when they left us to do our own thing, we were able to agree where and when we would meet up. Hint: a local sim enabling local calls was a real help. Above everything, Gede and Dendong were very safe, dealing with the madness that is Bali traffic with competence and good humour. The icing on the cake was when I checked the prices being offered by the hotel. Michael's prices were quite a bit lower, which made me feel even better.

Michael has put together such a great informative website for anyone visiting Bali for the first time. We also booked private drivers via his website and received an excellent service from the moment we booked through to great drivers on the day, and also great customer service in between whenever we had any questions. I honestly cannot recommend this company highly enough.

We were picked up at the airport by Kadek, I highly recommend having a driver collect you at the airport to ensure you get to the hotel smoothly. Kadek was a friendly face straight away, knowledgeable and kind and had our best interests at heart

Gede was a great driver! Met me right away despite an extraordinarily long immigration process, and delivered me promptly in the middle of the night to my hotel. Very reliable, safe, courteous - I will use this service any time I come to Bali!

Bali Holiday Secrets homepage saved me from any kind of stress that you can have as a solo traveler. Valuable tips and guidelines that I am forever thankful for. I booked a transfer from Kuta to Ubud and my driver Kadek was wonderful. Everything felt very safe and professional. Kadek also drove me back to Kuta and to the airport. Excellent driver! I also booked a North Bali day tour and my driver Komang was very nice. Excellent driver! The roads were very rough at one point and I picked a few places he had never been to, but he drove like it was nothing. Felt very safe with him. Thank you so much, Michael, Kadek and Komang for making my Bali trip safe and pleasant. Hugs from Sweden

Gede and Arya were amazing, both great to talk to, incredibly nice and genuinely lovely people, Gede bought us from the airport to our villa and was lovely! Arya took us on the temple tour, helped us get tickets, chatted and was a stand up great guy! Looking at coming back to Bali next year and will definitely be contacting them both again!

Driver on Nusa Penida ok on driving, poor as a tour guide. It would be helpful to explain to prospective clients that if they are wanting to go down to Diamond beach they will be scaling a cliff so they need to wear suitable footwear and should avoid carrying a bag other than a back pack so they have both hands free to use the rope to scale the cliff.. If they plan to swim at Diamond beach they should travel in their swimsuit as there is very limited facilities to change at the beach and they need to be aware there is a strong tidal rip at the beach.

Hi Richard, thanks for the heads up that taking lugagge with you on the Nusa Penida Tour isn't appropriate, especially on the trek down to Diamond Beach. We've never had anyone try that before, so will be sure to inform future guests. Safe travels, Michael

My driver's name was Made and I used his services on Tuesday, July 11th and Wednesday, July 12th. Made was very punctual and professional. He is very friendly, knowledgable and fun to be around. I immediately felt like I could be myself around him which is important to me. Made took amazing pictures of me and even made a cool video for me. He is an amazing person, driver, and tour guide and you are lucky to have him on the Bali Holiday Secrets team. Thank you!

Had a wonderful time thanks to Bali Holiday Secrets. The drivers we were assigned— Dendong and Wayan Artika— are the best! I appreciate the flexibility of the itinerary too.

Our driver Arya was wonderful and really helped create an incredible day for us. We went to three waterfalls as one was closed, but the day was paced perfectly. We started at Tegenungen Waterfall, then Tibumana Waterfall. There’s an excellent cafe at the entrance /exit with a wonderful view that we went to for matcha, fresh juice and a great lunch after the seeing Tibumana and heading to our third stop, Kanto Lampo. All are accessible but bring sneakers and water shoes - no flip flops! We went on a Monday which helped avoid crowds. Overall an incredible value for a memorable day.

Beautiful photo Anna Lisa! Glad to hear you had a great time with your driver, Arya. Sorry to hear that one of the waterfalls were closed but at least you got to experience Tegenungen and Tibumana Waterfalls - some of the best in Bali! See you during your next trip for some more Bali memories. Safe travels, Michael
