Thanks to a recommendation from an ITN subscriber (Feb. ’11, pg. 34), my wife and I found Merta Wyn (mertagct@telkom.net), who provided us with guide services in Bali, Indonesia, in November ’11. We made our arrangements with him about two months before the trip, and he was enthusiastic about tailoring a trip according to our needs.
His English was excellent, and his car was modern, clean and air-conditioned.
Merta provided transfers between Ngurah Rai International Airport and our hotel in Sanjur for $20 each way for the two of us.
He also led us on two full-day excursions to back-road areas of Bali. We chose the itineraries and the pickup time, 8:30, and toured until 6 p.m. both days.
His fee was a very reasonable $60 for each trip, which didn’t include meals or entrance fees.
It would have been difficult to experience the most beautiful parts of the island without his assistance.
