A few words from our customers
From Charles S. Massey, CMP
Dear Polos,
I can't thank you enough for being the most wonderful tour guide and companion we have ever experienced! We have traveled throughout the world and you showed us more of Bali in just a few days than I could have imagined. I for one am looking forward to both coming back (possibly sooner than you might think) and definitely referring groups an individuals your way. If there is any way possible I also plan to lobby my government to remove the current travel warning – from my experience and perspective there is absolutely no need for such at this point in time. Additionally, please pass along my thanks to the wonderful staff at Bali Spirit. Truly one of the best boutique properties I have ever experienced and you can be assured I'll be back. Again thank you for your recommended. Joseph and Richard join me in passing along their most sincere thanks and we all look forward to seeing you again very soon.Best regards
Your friend,

"Post at Bali Forum"
And my recommendation is.... Nengah Polos. Have used him many times. Great English, friendly and great a sense of humour. Very knowledgeable and does not pressure you to go anywhere you don't want to go. Hospitality background so very accommodating, The boys had a ball with him on the last trip, even helped them with prices at the markets.

From Rima
We meet Polos in 1998 and we found him to be very honest, fun and reliable and he speaks excellent English. He took us to the temples and many of the local people and also finding places that not so many tourists went, he explained to us many of the questions we had about different things we saw. I highly recommend Polos for your adventure in Bali

From Tsang Chiu Hing
Dear Polos
Sudah hampir setengah abad sejak saya pertama kali bertamasya ke bali, kali ini untuk kedua kali saya kembali lagi kebali, yang saya paling kwatirkan yaitu transportation untuk keliling bali dan juga untuk mengenal lebih baik kebudayaan bali saya juga perlu guide yang baik, untunglah saya menemukan web bapak Nengah Polos dimana bapak selainnya membawa mobil disamping itu juga menjadi guide inilah pilihan saya, terutama juga web bapak sangat jelas memberi keterangan setiap tour dan memberi harga yang menarik dan juga photo bapak pribadi dimuatkan dalam web, semua ini memberi keputusan terakhir untuk saya memilih bapak sebagai sopir dan guide saya selama 7 hari di bali, selama 7 hari kita bersama keliling bali terbuktilah pilihan saya tidak salah, bapak honest dan politely dengan sabar memberi keterangan pada saya untuk lebih mengerti kebudayaan bali.
Terima kasih atas segalanya

Hi Gusti & Polos,
Thanks Gusti for making our
Bali 3-days trip so wonderful and relax! You are a very patient and friendly English speaking Bali driver + tour guide. We like to shop (as you know, haha!), it must be a headache ya. But you are so patient and flexible to assist us that makes our trip without worries and stress. You have introduced us the culture of Bali and also share the everyday life of Balinese with us. Making our trip not only surrounded by historical heritages but also new insight into Balinese daily life (Some are Gusti's personal experience, haha!). Bali is a truly breakaway paradise for all busy city people and for Balinese themselves as well.
Thanks to Polos that assists and suggests us patiently through our planning in the special arrangement itinerary through emails. You are very professional indeed. After I have read your website, I have a better idea how to plan my 3D2N tour in Bali. Our trip time is very short but we are very glad that we are able to visit most of the famous places with no rush! We have visited places in 3 days, e.g. Uluwatu Temple, Jimbaran Beach, Tegallalang Rice Terraces, Batur Mount Volcano & Lake, Tirta Empul Temple, Ubud Art Market, Art Gallery, Kuta, Legian, Lovina Beach Dolphin Watching, Gigit Waterfall, Ulundanu Bratan Temple and Tanah Lot. The most interesting experience we had is — Lovina. We saw happy dolphins jumping in group! They swim so freely in the wide ocean! We have taken amazing photos and videos with them. It is very nice! We have also taken amazing panoramic view of Batur Volcano, Jimbaran Beautiful Sunset, Jumping Dolphins... I can't imagine that those beautiful photos were taken by me! Gusti is good at finding nice photo shooting view! Hahahaa... he has also suggested us place to find nice painting and I had bought a nice one at good price!
Thanks Gusti for leaving us a wonderful Bali trip memories (with his young SUZUKI Kijang MPV). I will definitely introduce you to my friends from Malaysia. Let them experience Bali with your good service! Keep up the good work!
Nice to know you both :)
p/s: We have attached our compilation of photos here. See 3 smiley faces and you know why... Happy memories live forever!
Truly,

From Kevin (Malaysia)
Hello Mr Polos,
First of all, Happy New Year to you and Mr Nyoman.
Sorry for this late email.
Thanks for recommending Mr Nyoman Suntayasa as our guide and driver.
My family and I really enjoyed the tours during our short stay at Bali on
the 21st and 22nd of Dec 2008.
It had been quite an informative trip as Mr Nyoman made an effort to share
his knowledge of Bali culture and tradition at the different places of
interest. He had been very patient throughout our trip and helped planned
where we should go first for the best viewing of the places.
We really appreciate him for driving us around the places which are located so far from our hotel.
Please help us thank Mr Nyoman and pass him some of the pictures which we
took during our trip.
Thanks again for the tour and hope you guys in Bali have a prosperous year!
I would definitely go to Bali again in the future to visit the other places we missed out during this trip.

From Loo, May and Nur
Dear Polos
Please relay our thanks to Mr. Nyoman Japa Astika, our driver for 1 & 1/2 day Bali tour for his patience, good humour (very funny) and excellent driving (especially the rollercoaster winding roads in Kintamani). He drove 3 of us to all the temples for the whole day tour (10 hours) without complaint, driving even in the heavy rain !
As such, we would highly recommend Mr.Nyoman and your company for tours in Bali! Keep up the good work.
Please see attached photos of Mr. Nyoman.
Best regards from Malaysia,
Loo, May and Nur.
