The number one tip is don't get a Wayan / Made off the street unless they are a registered tour guide through the local Bali Tourist organization. If you really want to get the RIGHT story, the RIGHT information about Bali, the culture, history etc, then registered tour guides are your best bet.
Also, make sure that you will have a separate guide AND driver ... let the driver concentrate on the driving, and let the guide be relaxed and able to pass on their knowledge.
You may pay a bit more, yet you will experience so much more.
Remember, if you pay peanuts, you only get monkeys.
If you do want someone special to look after you, please feel free to drop us an email, and we will provide additional info.
