You cannot be in safer, more capable hands than when Dean is behind the wheel. His vehicle is an eight-passenger Toyota Kijang, and my family fit very comfortably.
Dean keeps his vehicle in excellent condition; and during our visit, he installed four brand-new tires on his vehicle. His vehicle is equipped with a DVD player, and the kids enjoyed watching many of the different movies he kept in his vehicle during the long drives. They, too, were all very warm and welcoming. My seven-year-old son hit it off with Billy. That just goes to show that having fun is universal! I want to take the opportunity and thank all TA members for their contributions to this forum.
Because of this forum, I learned about Dean; and again because of this forum, I had the foresight to book Dean since back in March. At that time, Dean was already fully booked for June and July, so I was very pleased to have obtained his services during my travel dates. Your contributions were very informative and beneficial to me. Both readings were very delightfully entertaining, and made me wish that my turn to be in Bali would soon come!
Whinnie, I just want to say that Dean is still clicking away at the digital camera you gave him. He actually is a pretty good photographer! That was a very nice gesture on your part, and it gave me the idea to take him several gifts of my own.
By the way, I did notice that he did not have the camera in a case, so when we stopped at a Batik Store on the way to Tanah Lot, I bought him one. Prior to my trip, he had emailed me lots of lovely photos of the different places to visit, and the camera is definitely a plus for his business. I encourage everybody who is considering a trip to Bali to take the plunge.
Bali is very safe, the weather is awesome, the local people are very friendly and warm, the island has tons to offer, and Dean will definitely help make your vacation memories that much more memorable. Please look into booking Dean well in advance to secure his services, you will not be disappointed! A super big thanks to Dean for going above and beyond his services.
My family and I still miss spending all those extra long hours with him every day during our visit. I have never had the pleasure of meeting such a pleasing, patient, very accommodating and easy going individual as Dean. There is just so much positive feedback to share with all the readers in regards to Dean, that I plan to write a more in-depth review of Dean very soon. Dean this is for you :.
Best event was the police escort through town Dean made our first visit to Bali an unforgettable experience, and this blog is our way of saying thank you for his service, but also for the friendship and little things he did which made the difference.
Thank you! Bali-Dean helped to make our trip to Bali absolutely amazing. He has a detailed knowledge of the entire island, allowing him to help us decide what to see each day and to take alternate routes to and from each place so that we could see even more of the country. Though he gave us great suggestions, he was also flexible, working around what we wanted to do and which days we wanted a driver.
Dean is completely reliable and a very safe driver. He was prepared to make sure we were comfortable and safe — bringing umbrellas, a cooler with drinks, and even hand sanitizer! Though he teased us a little bit for asking so many questions, one of the best things about traveling with Dean is that he was able to give us a deeper understanding of so many different aspects of Balinese culture.
He speaks English very well and has a great sense of humor. We wholeheartedly recommend Dean and his services. You will be in great hands. We traveled to Bali in February and it was the best holiday we have had so far. We were so lucky to have Dean as our driver. Not only was he an excellent driver, he showed us the real Bali.
He answered all of our questions and told us what it means to be from Bali. Our best experience was being able to walk through the rice fields and see how the people of Bali live. He also took us into the home of a Balinese family and explained to us the importance of family in Bali. Even after our trip to Bali, we still remain friends with Dean and we hope to return to Bali soon to see him.
This was our first trip to Bali as a family. He made our visit to Bali a memorable experience. He speaks great English and has a great sense of humour, is completely reliable and a very safe driver! We wholeheartedly recommend Dean and his services and look forward to using his services again very soon! After being driven for a month around Bali by Dean, I would have personally financed, and had my graphic designer friend create him a website, had he not already had one!
I spend my life in Maui, Hawaii, owning a business, and giving the benefit-of-the-doubt, a second chance, and helping ANYONE who tries to help themselves……regardless of the personal cost to myself, both emotionally, and monitarily. Modernization, and air travel has changed some aspects of all those countries, whose economy is reliant today upon tourism.
Bali is no different. I imagined it to be gorgeous beaches, beautiful waters, with a very simplistic Island lifestyle, which I dreamed of, since I realized it had been lost here on Maui years ago due to the influx of tourism.
I was horrified at the amount of billboards and signs everywhere. I was particularly mortified to see the disposal of all kinds of trash in the rivers and streams that run alongside beautiful Villas, built next to simple local homes. He was quick to correct me if he thought I was making a bad decision regarding a business, or trade purchase.
He ALWAYS paid attention to the slightest comments made by myself, or my elderly mother, which neither of us realized until we had been there for a week.
He was VERY uncomfortable at the thought of accompanying us to lunch, or dinner…. But, how best to recommend food, or a restaurant, until you have personally experienced it??!! We taught him Western table manners, and etiquitte, which he learnt with extreme enthusiasm. He could conduct himself accordingly to any given situation, and from that moment on, he gained a beautiful, new form of self-confidence, and self-worth. The Balinese people are incredibly sweet, very humble, polite, and grateful, for the smallest of things.
Tipping is not the norm in Bali. Add yours! Not only does he know the best out of the way places, but his encyclopedic knowledge of the country he knows and loves means that he can find anything you want, from a fantastic vegetarian restaurant with views, to a local temple celebration where there are no other tourists!
He is discreet, polite and well prepared for everything, and happily shares local customs and culture for those who are interested!
A note — although he knows all the best restaurants, his own personal favourite is McDonalds for a really special treat!! We were lucky enough to get a late booking with Dean, and we also met and were chauffeured by some of his team of drivers, all of whom were as charming as Dean himself! Dean Driver of Distinction is the best! His friendly, warm service made my trip to Bali one to remember.
I traveled to Bali in March and found not only a trusty driver but a good, Balinese friend. He calls me his "new friend from New York. He drove my friend and I all around the beautiful countryside, stopped in shops and waited patiently while we explored the towns and the Monkey Forest.
At the end of the day, we were all smiles. Especially the evening when we stopped at Dunkin Donuts! Who would have thunk that I'd find one of my favorite haunts half way across the world in Bali? We treated Dean to his first cup of hot chocolate.
Dean, here's to you! Dean is our friend! The first time we went to Bali, we were lucky enough to hire Dean. Now we are Bali addicts.
Even our teenage sons can't get enough of the place. Some of this addiction is due to Dean. He has this innate ability to be able to make anyone comfortable around him. His enthusiasm and sense of humour are infectious. Gary and I are now what most people would call "well travelled" but Dean is by far and away the best person we have ever hired the services of, while travelling. His service is world class. He is probably one of only a few people I have ever met, who is doing the job he was meant to do.
He really enjoys what he does and this transfers to his clients. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Can't wait to visit you and Bali again. May the good Gods bless you, your family and your customers. Dean made our first visit to Bali an unforgettable experience, and this blog is our way of saying thank you for his service, but also for the friendship and little things he did which made the difference.

He knows the best surf spots in Bali as well as the best local places to visit. He is a safe driver, and a great person to be around, he really lifts your spirits with his up-beat attitude; that's why we will go back again next year and see Dean.
