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.

We booked Bali Holiday Secrets twice during our week-long stay in Bali, for both a full day and a half day private driver tour. Both times, the service was excellent and super easy. When we booked we had an email confirming the driver, with a picture of both the driver and the car and a guide of how to pronounce their name. Then later on, we had a What's Ap from the driver to talk about the itinerary. Both drivers arrived well before pick-up time. Their English was excellent. They knew how to get to everywhere and were immensely friendly. They were more than willing to either answer questions about Bali, or drive in silence when we were tired at the end. They were awesome! The beauty of the service is that you get to take all of the hassle out of travelling around the island. On both occasions, Dendong and Wayan devised a timetable to get us to the places we wanted to visit, then either came in and helped us with buying a ticket (when we were going into somewhere that was ticketed), or just dropped us off at the right place when we wanted to go to the beach. The upside is that you can spend as long as you like visiting somewhere and if you want to stay longer, you just drop them a whats ap and it's all sorted! It makes going to somewhere like Ubud and having a wander around, super easy. And you know you dont have to run the Russian Roulette of a local driver in a Blue cab at the end! On both occasions, Dendong and Wayan pointed out lots of local places of interest and had suggestions about what to do (but weren't offended if we didn't want to do it). They knew where everything was which took the hassle out of finding for eg the small laneway at Thomas Beach which we would never have found if we were left to our own devices. In short, it streamlined the touring process MASSIVELY and isn't expensive for what you get. The cars are really well maintained and air-conditioned. Couldn't recommend enough.

Very happy that you found the entire tour process pleasurable, from beginning to end. Taking the hassle out of travelling in Bali is what we do! You were also in great hands with Dendong and Wayan. Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed and honest review, Elizabeth. We hope your memories in Bali last a lifetime, but also hope that you return to create even more memories!

Michael organised Made (pronounced Marday or May Day) to be our driver for a week of transfers and tours. Made was the most fun driver we have had and fitted perfectly with our 4, 20 something, kids we had with us. Made never missed a pick up and threaded the big new van we had through the traffic with amazing safety and ease. We will be requesting Made for any trips back Bali, thanks for making the trip so much fun Joe and Kirsten

All was good. A bit hard to find driver at Airport due to all other drivers trying to get your attention, but it would not be the Island of the Gods if it wasn't hey! Great to have photo and car rego though. Pick up was also good. Overall good service.

Just finished Tour 1 of Ulawatu. Absolutely fantastic. Driver and Car bang on time, good advice on journey on how to maximise the day. Tickets for the Kecek Show at Ulawatu Temple finished the day to perfection. Michael, the owner of Bali Holiday Secrets, is super responsive to emails and has a ton of advice on planning your trips while in Bali. Thank you from all of us.

We had a fantastic time visiting Bali and it's sights and wonders in September 2024. Bali Holiday car service offerred an exceptional and wonderful experience for us. From last minute bookins to punctual pick ups and drop offs, our adventures were completely stress free. Our driver was Kadek. We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgable, patient, and kind person. Kadek knew so much history of Bali, its people and places, that we've learned so much going from one destination to another. If we ever visit Bali again, we will make sure to book Bali Holiday and hopefully see Kadek once again. Highly recommended!

Your page really helped me be prepared for my Bali trip. Particularly as I was travelling with my 10year old son who has high-functioning Autism. It was his first trip and I needed to be able to predict and manage any potential difficulties smoothly. And your drivers…. Just amazing! So reliable. I didn’t have to worry about managing cash bc they were prepaid. They always turned up on time, communicated brilliantly, simply accepted my son’s idiosyncrasies without a murmur. Their cars were clean, spacious, air conditioned and didn’t have strange smells that he may have had sensory issues with. They didn’t know at the time how much all these things meant and helped us. Thankyou so much!!

The website was a true gift in planning our family trip! Booking a driver for our 3-day adventure was incredibly easy, and it offered many helpful tips for travelling in Bali. We received our driver’s contact details almost immediately, allowing us to communicate with him before the trip. Mr. Wayan, who was assigned to us, exceeded our expectations. He was incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and always punctual! His excellent command of English ensured smooth communication throughout our journey. Wayan offered great advice, especially when we had a packed itinerary, and he always did his best to make it work. Despite our daily excursions often running over 10 hours, he remained professional and patient, always willing to accommodate us. What stood out was Wayan's ever-present smile, even after long, tiring days of driving and waiting. He also shared fascinating insights into Balinese culture and rituals, enriching our experience as not only a driver but also a knowledgeable guide. In a few words, Wayan is honest, sincere, and professional. Our family is deeply grateful to him for taking such good care of the six of us on this memorable trip!

First time travelling to Bali and it was chaos on the airport. The driver got in touch right after we landed and described where he was waiting. We were a little late due to queuing for visas, but the driver was very patient and waited for us. With a description by email from Muchael in advance, getting from the airport to the hotel went like a dream. Bali Holiday Secrets is highly recommended for anyone thinking of traveling to Bali. Thank you so much Michael and the nice driver, Wayan!

It would be great if the drivers could speak a better English, sometimes I felt they have a hard time to understand what I was saying. Also, sometimes they suggested better options just after we finished our initial choices. Otherwise, the service was great, the cars are in excellent condition.

Michael runs an amazing service. Constant communication made it easy to know where to find his driver Putu at the airport. Putu himself is a superstar, took me to Medewi. You have a lot of choices when trying to book an airport pickup, but these guys are the best

Amazing service. Would highly recommend to anyone travelling to Bali. Responses were prompt, driver (Gede) was knowledgeable, extremely courteous and always on time. Even when the traffic was bad he found us alternative routes and got us safely to our destination. Cannot recommend more highly!

I booked and airport transfer from Bali Denpasar to my hotel in Nusa Dua, Michael was amazing emailing through airport details and tips for arrival. My driver Kadek was very easy to communicate with, incredibly friendly and helpful. Lots of local knowledge of the area and his English was great. My driver Kadek was very easy to find at the airport and helpful with bags. Everything was so easy through Bali Holiday Secrets, no stress and no delays or waiting. The website has so many great tips for travellers to make life easy. I will definitely book through Michael and Bali Holiday Secrets again!
