Why Aburva

Not just a driver. A driver and a guide.

A driver's job is the road. A guide's job is you. On every Aburva trip you get both — so someone keeps you safe on the road, and someone walks with you and tells you the stories behind what you're seeing.

Driver only

What most "Bali driver" tours include
  • –Drops you at the gate and waits in the car park
  • –You figure out tickets, sarongs and where to go inside
  • –Little time to explain — they need to focus on driving
  • –You see the place, but miss the meaning

Our story

Not a tour company. A family that loves showing you around.

Aburva Travel is run by our family from Puri Punggul. We began by driving the guests of our own villa, The Lanaya, to our favourite places — and they kept asking us to take their friends too.

"We don't just show you Bali — we welcome you into it, the way we'd welcome family coming home."

FAQ

Good to know

What's included in the price?

Private car with air-con, a driver and a local English-speaking guide, fuel, parking and mineral water. Airport transfers and private-driver hire are driver only. Entrance tickets and meals are not included, so you only pay for the places you actually visit.

Can we change the plan on the day?

Of course — just tell your driver. Extra time after 10 hours is IDR 100.000 per hour.

Where do you pick up?

Free pickup in Abiansemal, Ubud, Mengwi and Denpasar. South Bali (Seminyak, Canggu, Kuta, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu) adds IDR 100.000.

What should we wear to temples?

Shoulders and knees covered. We bring a sarong and sash for everyone.

Is it okay with kids?

Yes! Tell us their ages and we'll bring a child seat on request and plan a lighter route.

How do we pay?

After the trip, in cash (IDR), bank transfer or QRIS. No deposit needed for day trips.

How many people fit in one car?

Up to 5 guests per car — your driver and guide ride with you. For bigger groups we send a second car or a van.

What if we need to cancel?

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. After that, we may ask for a small fee to cover the driver's day.
