“Bali is wonderful and Sila helped us experience it rather than just see it.”

I hired Sila over the internet through a recommendation on Tripadvisor. This was our first trip to Bali and I wanted to make the most of it. I'm so glad I found Sila! My sister, my adult daughter and I had a fabulous time in Bali and Sila helped us to make the most of our time. He was very flexible which is good because I changed my mind A LOT! I was able to contact Sila through text messaging and Facebook which was very helpful. He always got back to me within minutes. He was always on time and very reliable and speaks EXCELLENT English. We had no communication problems at all. He hooked us up with all the right people for whitewater rafting, elephant rides, snorkeling etc. He showed us a beautiful rice terrace and explained how rice grows, steered us away from any unfriendly monkeys at Uluwatu, pointed out local plants and explained what they were used for and provided a plethora of information on Bali. He also has a great sense of humor and we felt very safe and comfortable with Sila. If we get a chance to get back to Bali we will definitely hire Sila again! Heck, in America I can't even fill my gas tank for what Sila charges for an entire day of sightseeing! Hire him, you won't be sorry!

Hello from Singapore

Good morning my friend,

Wow its almost a week and finally I’m settling down. hope you been busy. We would like to thank you for a good job done driving us around all those beautiful places and your patience for waiting & waiting for us doing our tourist thing … shopping for souvenir. Although we miss the famous Ibu Oka babi guling twice arrrrrrrrr! ( due to our shopping again trying to buy the perfect t shirt & stuff home ) you make it up by recommening the perfect yummy lunch ( can’t remember the restaurant name ). Sorry for “stinking” your car ( those yummy durian at Tegalalang rice terraces ha ha ), kopi luwat was an eye opener and thank for waking up the civet cat for me to capture the perfect picture hope the cat don’t recognize you for disturbing his nap. The view from Uluwatu temple was magnificent ohhh the monkeys are so mischevious grabbing the glasses of the tourist right in front of us, me & Jeff think maybe they are trained by the old man outside the entrance ha ha just kidding. Ubud is nature at its best the lunch at the padi field restaurant was awesome although we can’t see Mt Kintamani due to the heavy mist its still beautiful so heavenly. Tanah lot temple was beautiful its was perfect timing the tide coming in and took a couple of nice shots there. Jimbaran seafood was nice & romantic but the price was pretty high probably it’s a tourist area. Heart warming to know that there is a conservation place for turtle in Turtle island. Finally some places that we miss ( our shopping again ) we shall make it up on our next trip and once again a BIG thank you its been fun and to sum it up a unforgettable holiday. Till we meet again & good health , happiness to you & family.

 

Best regards

Alvin

We've had three trips to Bali since my first post and used Herry as our driver every time. He is a friendly and knowledgeable guy and goes out of his way to make our holiday fantastic. Speaks exceptional english and other languages. We can't wait to return to Bali and have Herry drive us to places we still have not explored.
You can contact him by email and get a reply pretty quickly using
wayan_herry@yahoo.com
his old email was
baliwithherry@dps.centrin.net.id
We visited Bali last year with friends and Herry was able to organise drivers to cope with our large group. We managed to keep Herry busy most of the 2 weeks that we were in Bali and we all had a wonderful and memorable holiday.
