Here are few references for ABAS Bali Driver
"I am writing this review because I want other people who visit Bali share our wonderful touring experience with this Balinese driver. I have visited Bali 5 times; the last is on 22 June 2015 for a day tour after arriving at Benoa Harbor by Legend of The Seas – Royal Caribbean International Cruise Ship from Darwin to Bali. The first time I booked other driver but this driver (details bellow) was outstanding by comparison.

I am so glad that I accidentally cane across Nyoman, an excellent and genuinely caring Balinese driver on the internet. Consequently, I was able to correspond with him via email and book 2 full days touring highlights, which he suggested of Bali before we left Australia. He has also studied several extensive courses online to increase his knowledge of other countries and tourism.

Our second (April 2012) visit to Bali was made extra special by services of Nyoman. He spoke good English and was very informative and courteous. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He drove us through villages (and not the main roads) so that we could at least see some of the Bali traditional way of life en route to where we were going. We visited many places of interest that we would not have had the time to see if on organized tours that only visit pre-determined locations. Our third (June 2013) visit to Bali discovered the rest of tourist attractions around Ubud and volcano.

Should you wish to contact this driver details are NYOMAN ARNAYA – Mobile Phone +628179708118 or nyoman_balidriver@yahoo.com and also on Facebook. Despite being member of a group of Balinese drivers (ABAS), meet monthly and donate part of their earning to a charity. He is also looking to the future to financially be able to educate his 2 young children.

I highly recommend this driver. His fee is currently IDR 550,000 (approx USD 45) per day (2016) and he drives you where you want to go in a well maintained, clean and modern A/C vehicle. We have booked him for the 4 last coming to Bali and could not have been happier with his driving services, touring suggestions and caring attitude.

If you are visiting Bali, please seriously considers contacting this Balinese personal courteous driver – you will never regret doing so!!!"
