Here are some of the nice things people have kindly said about my services as a driver and guide

From Maya Trujillo Ringe - Seattle, USA

Ketut picked us up from the airport upon our arrival and immediately suggested a lovely restaurant on the beach to have our first meal. Each morning, Ketut arrived an hour earlier than expected and was always available to meet our needs. He was not only a skilled driver but an excellent tour guide. He helped us plan our day so that we managed to see everything we wanted to and more!

He speaks very good English. He taught us how to exchange basic pleasantries and how to bargain with vendors. He suggested great restaurants and where we could get the best bargains. I never felt pressured or obligated to do anything suggested by Ketut--he does not make suggestion in order to gain something.

In January 2009 we spent two weeks with Ketut and learned so much more about Bali and Balinese Culture than we ever would have learned had we travelled on our own. He is a warm and trustworthy man with a wonderful sense of humor and with an in depth knowledge of all parts of Bali.

Honestly, our trip could not have been as fulfilling without you and we very much appreciate all you did. I actually cried when we walked away from you - we got used to your smile, your bright energy and contagious laughter.

Ketut made Bali feel like home yet still an exciting adventure.

From Greg Roberts and Ian Reed - Queensland, Australia

Ketut has been known to us for some 10 years. During that time he has not only been our safe and reliable English speaking driver, but also a friend and informative travelling companion.

He is well versed in the history and culture of his native Bali and his charm has ensured we have come to know and love Bali too.

His knowledge of Batik is extensive (his own shop is in Jalan Hanoman Ubud) and his restaurant recommendations are the best.

But what makes him special is not so much his formal advice and commentary but his willingness to share his own family life with those he trusts. We recall a visit to his family village as just as memorable as our visit to the Pura Besakih temple complex on Gunung Agung.

We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ketut to any visitor to Bali – the’’ Island of the Gods”

From Mr Takano - Tokyo, Japan

From Suzanna - Geneva, Switzerland

Hi my name is Suzanna, I living in Ubud-Bali for fourteen years. I know Ketut now for ten years.

He has always been there, quick and efficient when I needed him. It has been and still is a pleasure to deal with him. Also my family visiting from Geneva appreciate his service.

Beside his kindness, he is a trusty, loyal and helpful person. I am pleased to recommend him as competent tour guide, good consultant for knowing well Bali, for car rental and as shop manager.

With him we have the feeling to be in security.

From Robert Boughey - Bangkok, Thailand

I have been to Bali multiple times before and am still in love with the island and its people. Last year, I decided to take my girlfriend for a little surprise holiday in Bali and met Ketut by chance at his store in Ubud. Both him and his family were very warm and kind the moment we met so we decided to ask him to be our guide.

To this day, whenever I know that someone will be traveling to Bali, I insist on them contacting Ketut. He took us around and showed us the most beautiful places on the island.

He also went far beyond his duty when he hiked up with us to top of one of the local volcano at 4 in the morning!!! I would recommend him to anyone and hope that you will enjoy the Bali experience as I have.

From Jimmy - Bandung, West Java, Indonesia

We, me and my wife, were in Honeymoon in Bali in 2006. Mr Ketut and his kindly service has made our honeymoon is the most beautiful vacation. He takes us to enjoy the beautiful scene, fancy restaurants, balinese culture, traditional handicrafts, art, and cuisine, which is our interest.

Mr Ketut is an easy going person, friendly, and very listening person. He always understand what is our interest, that's why he always share his knowledge and experience of balinese culture, which we enjoy.

We personally recommend him to our friends and definitely will contact him when we come back to Bali for our second honeymoon next year (2010), but then it will be three of us. Me, my wife and our beloved son, Sebastian.

From Mary Leong - New Jersey, USA

My husband & I travel around the world quite a bit, mostly to quite unusual places. We returned to Bali in December 2008 for a two week stay. We found Bali's beauty surpassed only by the friendliness of its people.

We were also fortunate enough to come across a most wonderful driver and guide, Ketut Suwenda. His fees were very reasonable, and his knowledge of Balinese culture and various tourism information was excellent. He is also very honest & helpful.

I'm slightly handicapped, and he took special care to be sure that I was comfortable through our entire trip. He went out of his way to accommodate our plans. At times, he would work extremely long hours without complaint.

His main goal was to be sure that our vacation would be an unforgettable one. Well he succeeded wildly! We had the most wonderful time we could remember and we know that we will have Ketut as a friend in Bali to help us on our return.

These are just some of the testimonials from my past clients.
