Ｑ＆Ａ

Q: Can I change my itinerary on the fly based on my mood?

A: Yes, absolutely! The biggest advantage of a private tour is its flexibility. Whether you want to stay longer at a spot you love, skip a destination, or visit a cafe you just spotted, you can adjust the plan by consulting with your guide/driver within the tour duration. We also accommodate your pace for restroom breaks or short cooling-down breaks at cafes.
*Please note that child seats (advance booking required) are limited in number. Please let us know as early as possible.
*Group tours (shared tours) have fixed schedules and cannot be modified or extended.

Q: Can I be picked up or dropped off at locations other than my hotel (e.g., airport or a restaurant)?

A: Yes, we can arrange that. If you provide the exact locations at the time of booking, you can start your tour directly from the airport and end at your hotel, or vice-versa. Please note that additional transport fees may apply for certain areas (e.g., Tulamben, Uluwatu, etc.).

Q: Is it possible to extend the tour duration?

A: Yes. If you wish to stay longer for a night view or have the guide accompany you until dinner, you can extend the tour with an hourly overtime fee. The rate is approximately Rp 130,000 / USD 10 / JPY 1,400 per car per hour.

Q: Is tipping expected?

A: While tipping is not mandatory in Bali, it is a common custom in the tourism industry. If you are satisfied with the service, a tip of around Rp 50,000 to Rp 100,000 (approx. USD 4–7) for your guide or driver is greatly appreciated.

Q: How much should I budget for parking, entrance fees, tolls, and dance performances?

A: To ensure maximum flexibility, our private tours are generally "vehicle charter plans" that exclude entrance fees and meals. Your guide will assist you with payments at each site, but we recommend carrying Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) for smooth transactions. As a guideline, budgeting around Rp 300,000 to Rp 500,000 per person should cover basic entrance fees and lunch for a full day of sightseeing.

Q: Are credit cards accepted at tourist sites?

A: While major temples (like Tanah Lot or Uluwatu) are increasingly accepting cards, connection issues can sometimes make them unusable. Additionally, parking fees and small local shops only accept cash. Please make sure to carry enough cash in Rupiah (IDR).
