Booking excursions with drivers

Hi

Am looking at booking a driver for a day, which looks great and will enable us to see lots of Bali%26#39;s places and experiences. The list of approved drivers on TA has really helped too. Have noticed though that many of the drivers offer really good (almost too good?) prices for activities such as white water rafting or elephant park etc...

Is this too good to be true? They are offering prices that are WAY cheaper than those offered by established tour companies. Maybe I am just being too suspicious and should take it at face value!

Any thoughts?

Any of the drivers on the TA list have proved themselves to be honest and reliable and good at their jobs.

If you have a query, my suggestion would be to email or contact that driver direct and ask them about the pricing (some of them may be out of date).

Where is your plan to stay?

If you stay in Ubud, it%26#39;s better take the program at the hotel either excursion or another activities. I think this is would be easy.

i%26#39;ve organised tours with drivers and found that most are fine. about four wanted to reneg on the deal by wanting to take me to shops, talked excessively about money/good deals/etc, wanted more money half way there, demanded a tip. the vast majority were fine and i had a good time.

i think it is wise to be cautious as it saves getting dissappointed.

RT were they drivers on the list or just drivers you haggled with on the street?

Our experience of driver%26#39;s off the street, sounds similar to yours, although the majority have been good, you do get a few ';bad apples';. Anyone we hire like that who is good, I write his name and number in my little black book for future reference.

Don%26#39;t know what I am going to do soon as the LBB is getting almost chockers and I need a new one. Lots of hours sifting and transfering info then, I think.
