tips tricks a Tours - A guide to Bali

[@ryangarrigan1]

Thanks for all the videos Muzza. Took your advice and headed to KW tours when we arrived and booked a few tours. Can honestly say service was first class from start to finish. Komang was out driver for 4 days and was a thoroughly nice young chap. Would highly recommned KW Tours to anyone looking for tours,drivers, airport pick ups or drop offs or anything else to be honest. All the best from Scotland UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great advice Muzz! Down to earth useful info from a bloke in the ground. Two thumbs up!

[@lovethevideos]

Love your tip advice, I have been traveling to Bali since 2015 twice a year (until Covid) I found the Balinese people so helpful, and beautiful and they are so grateful for business, and small tips. I Love Bali and look forward to coming back soon.

[@edgeguts]

Great videos Murray, keep them coming , can’t wait to get back to Bali

[@ninanina2428]

Hi Murray, I love watching your you tube contents, all are very interesting and informative, thank you 🙏 and looking forward to watching more of it about Bali

[@shaun9200]

Heading over in july from NZ, thanks heaps for the videos so helpful

[@_arman_]

Hey Murray. Im heading to Bali in May 22 for the first time and staying for a month. Love your content in general, but this video is brilliant. Very helpful and learning a lot!! Thank you

[@_arman_]

Thanks for mentioning tipping as well. That wasn't at the forefront of my mind but thanks to you ill be more mindful of it. don't think I ever would have thought to tip traffick folks. Going to stuff a bunch of 10,000 notes in my pocket wherever I go now!

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Thanks for the feedback.. it can be a delicate balance between me ranting and you getting sick of listening. I hope we have made it informative and watchable

[@henrylawson938]

Also, when you take your money from an ATM or do a money exchange, take out what you think you won't spend and put it away on your person somewhere safe, and keep what you think you'll spend in your pocket or whatever. Also, don't forget to notify your bank (online) when and how long you will be overseas before you leave, just to make sure your card will work and the bank knows it's you making the transactions.

[@aprilbonson1771]

Great update Murray. I’ll be definitely using the bike transport when I return in October. Rodney

[@monster_bbq]

Hey Murray. I'm sure you've heard this before but you're an absolute legend! As an accidental tourist I wish some of this info had been around twenty years ago, would have saved me some grief. Stay safe and I'll sing out if I see you floating around when I get over there in a October. Cheers mate. M.

Love the video updates Murray, looking at visiting in August

[@seasidekreations-australia]

Hey Murray, Just watching your video to see how things are travelling in Bali. I've been to Bali, pre Covid 3 or 4 times a year for 6 years and I wanted to just say that this was great info for first timers. Going to go check out some of your other videos. I'm so jealous lol wishing I was in Bali now, keep up the great work mate.

[@yaa_sin]

Hi Murray, hope you are well. This has been by far one of the most informative and helpful videos, could you please share with us another part 2 of tips and tricks in Bali. My partner and I are looking to visit Bali in September would this be considered a good time to go? Also if you could recommended affordable resort villas in Bali Many thanks in advance! And look forward to your next videos!

[@riantiirja5083]

[@elvisbartoli6687]

Nice video there,think you intended to cover where its best to stay to do most of the touring,I know how difficult it is coming from south to north.Its probably easier at the moment with less traffic....I think someone should even be running a boat from Kuta/Seminyak to Canggu as that traffic gets horrendous.....everyone knows to start your tour days early......not like 10 a.m....Cheers,looking forward to your next one.....getting there for hols in June and October.

[@SammyHoliday]

Thanks mate

[@evandahdudley7314]

Kia Ora Murray. This would be my first trip internationally, flights to bali are so cheap rn in Australia. Im wanting to get one but there’s like 3 different places to go to. Which place would you recommend to land? Im wanting to explore, experience the culture but also have a lazy drinkkkkk. I am planning on doing it alone rn

[@baliwoodcarving3962]

Thanks to your video . were best place to rent villas for one months not very expensive my first visit to BALI. THANK YOU

Murray it would be great for you to show us some mid range guesthouses in Sanur, Legian etc. I like your style, some have glamour vlogs of resorts and instagram food etc which may be fine if your on a 10 day holiday but a fairytale long term

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Great idea.. let me see what I can find

[@callum9880]

Brilliant video, hoping to get over to help the locals-seems very tough on them! Any ideas how/whom we can check about visas and pcr testing as get conflicting information? It says a negative PCR is to be taken max of 48 hours before your departure of origin (we live in Uk), but if we have to transition through other countries with 1 to 2 stops (eg self transfers which requires going through security to collect out checked luggage and re check in-as there are no direct flights) would we require further PCR tests at the other airports for the airlines? We appreciate additional visas may be required. Or should we only book “connect in airports “ flights like on Skyscanner therefore baggage is automatically transferred via airlines and no need to enter security? Some total journeys one way could take us up to 24 hours. Adults are all double jabbed with booster and child double jabbed TIA

HELLO MURRAY, THANK-YOU HEAPS FOR ALL THE GREAT TRIPS ON SOME DIFFERENT PLACES TO TRY FOR MY NEXT TRIP OVER IN JULY. BOOKED INTO FOURTEEN ROSES KUTA, NOT SURE ABOUT SANUR YET NEED SOME ADVICE PLEASE.

can you please tell me what's a good driver and economical if possible since there Oscar only 2 of us. we have booked a hotel in seminyak. how should we go around

[@Rippleofflove]

The fishmarket in Jimbaran can you tell me is it expensive to buy and eat there. Or do a vlog about it maybe

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

I will

[@EatTravelWithMe]

Thank you for the helpful tips! What area do you recommend staying in for someone who plans to visit Bali for the first time, looking to some R&R and learning about the culture. I’m not into party scene. Would you recommend staying in Ubud/Nusa Dua?

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Ubud, Sanur and definately a couple.of days in Nusa Lembongan

[@EatTravelWithMe]

Thank you!!!!

[@stevewilson9632]

Hi Murray. wife and I coming over late March. Should we pre book tours like Nusa Pedina day trip or just book when we get there. Steve

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

No just contact ketut and he will sort it out on the day. Usually most people go and see him at KW.tours for a sim card first day and he does the tours on the spot

[@raj006ful]

Pls share the driver details to travel

[@nitishvijay1710]

Hi.. the day tours should be bought offline there in Bali or online like through klook ?

[@crlyap]

People in Indonesia most of them able to pay 1 year or 2 years rent in advance so if they lost their jobs they still have place to stay Not like in Australia most people pay fortnightly or monthly rent and live pay cheque to pay cheque

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

sorry but he only people paying upfront here are foreigners.. the locals dont have $2 spare

[@crlyap]

@@MurrayWilkinson1 No that's far from reality I used to live there for many years and I know the culture, language and society very well Indonesian have very strong family structure and helping each other When though time comes The houses for Local still alot more affordable to buy for normal people, savings rate alot better and mortgage usually around 10-15 years , things like going out , helper around the house, going salon are normal things to do Not like Australia house unaffordable for normal people, mortgage 30 years, eating out, salon and house helper is a luxury, need to have both parents to work only to manage house repayment, salon , eating out all are luxury for average family Indonesian maybe 3rd world but country but the quality of life can't be compared , people are alot more happyer Compare to Australia where people are stressed just to manage daily expenses

[@gracem1231]

Hey Murray, I'm going to Bali in September for a few weeks and I don't feel confident riding a scooter by myself. Do you think I'd be fine just doing gojeks and private car hire? I'm thinking Canguu, Ubud and Uluwatu

[@datamemory]

Thank you, i sent you an email. Your tips are so valuable.

[@Sangerx]

Hi mate, off to work in Bali soon. Was wondering what the mask situation is like other there

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Technically you have to have a mask on when outside unless. you are eating etc they used to be quite tight with it but these days they don't seem to be worried.you need to still have one with you at all times, any mask. No special type etc and won't get into a mall or large store without one

[@sonnyday6830]

Would you consider BMC money changers safe? also I like your pikorua pounamu

[@Kazzas73]

NEVER use money changers unless they are authorised. BMC is the safest way to go for first time travellers.

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

Yes I would say they are generally safe, just be wary and count your money before you walk out

[@Killereggman]

Bulgarian atm scammers love this trick! (use atm in commbank or inside shops, cover your pin from the atm) Good old cash changers with highest rate will magician

[@Killereggman]

so many girls get ripped by scooter guys walking out of money changers! I always tell them it's dangerous. sad

[@nitsagourlonis5129]

Kool i just become a. New sub i was in Seminyak 4 years ago had a really nice villas with the Mrs but the town of Seminyak had virtually nothing there now we’re going back again wanted to know is Blue bird the best taxis to get and does my Aussie SIM card work over there last time i couldn’t and ended up buying a sim and got ripped off so is it better just to take my Oz SIM card and put Roaming on before i leave what’s your thoughts ? And in Seminyak that part of the island is located in Jakarta however is Bali on another island by it self sorry to ask so many questions last time we went to Mr potato head it was ok not really our scene were in our 50s and the age groups there were 20-30s idc but would rather go somewhere that has a good nightlife and some better shopping then Seminyak we would stay elsewhere however it seems the only place to get villas and decent price.We done Thailand 6 x Vietnam 3 x Cambodia 3 x and Hohn Kong 1 x so it will be our second time too Indonesia. I don’t mind hire a scooter in Thailand in Phuket not Bangkok But Indonesia traffic seemed so hectic we were travelling with the Hotel Bus and they only took us to Seminyak town quiet boring tbh there even the shopping there was hardly any knock off shops we found 3 and didn’t have much if you could hook us up with a decent driver i don’t mind throwing you something as well so over Sydney boring as bat shit here the city is a ghost town pass 6pm Monday too Thursday plus you need $500 just to go for dinner and drinks in Sydney over priced for rubbish btw does Indonesia have a Casino or some were to have a punt ?
