How to hire a private car and driver for sightseeing around Bali?

For Bali sightseeing, hiring a car with driver for two separate days can cover rice terraces, Ubud, Sekumpul Waterfall, a temple and the Monkey Forest. The reported drivers arrived on time and used clean vehicles.

For a day trip to Nusa Penida, prepare a list of stops and give it to the driver. One itinerary covered both the east and west sides of the island plus inexpensive local cafés; snorkeling was arranged separately for the following day, with manta sightings reported.

For climbing Mount Agung, book a local guide who can provide on-route support and basic gear. In one recent experience, the guide met the group on time, supplied traction spikes, brought food and water, and was paid on arrival with no advance payment requested.
