What a tour operator does for you

Ernest is more than a driver. As a tour operator he takes care of the whole trip, so you only have to enjoy it.

  • He plans a route that suits your pace, without long days in the car.
  • He drives you every day in his own air-conditioned car.
  • He books fast boats, activities and guides through his network in Bali and the rest of Indonesia.
  • He suggests good places to stay along the way.
  • He tells you about the history and the culture of every place, in fluent English.

Because he works with people he has known for years, he can often get you a better deal than you would find yourself.
