I'm a professional licensed guide, a member of the Indonesian Tourist Guide Association (ITGA). I have spent many unforgettable years working as a tour guide in my homeland, since 2011. I have lots of patience in describing unique historical places, traditional events, and customs of Bali, so you can always enjoy your valuable trip. Besides giving you planned activities and routes, my good quality of "local guiding" including my experience, knowledge about Balinese people, nature, and culture will also give you an authentic experience of traveling in Bali. I'm very well organized to make your experience feel seamless and effortless. I also have a good sense of humor, love to meet new people, and love to share experiences in an engaging and entertaining way. I am open to unexpected challenges and changes. Several years living abroad (10 years in the States and 1 year in France) gives me personal benefit and wider experience in communicating with diverse personalities and backgrounds. - I am a licensed guide listed as a member of the Indonesian Tourist Guide Association (ITGA). - I have been working as a tour guide since 2011. - I have a tourism and hospitality educational background and graduated from the reputable Bali Tourism Institute. - I had worked on a cruise ship for 8 years in Holland American Cruise Line. - Having good communication skills, several years living abroad (10 years in the States, a few months in Canada, a few months in Australia, and 1 year in France) - I gained also tourism and hospitality experience from working in several hotels and theme parks in Bali. - Language competency: Malay (fluent), Indonesian (fluent), American Sign Language (fluent), English (fluent) None.

Overview of your Bali tour

Getting on a cruise ship has already given you a fantastic onboard experience. To complete your excitement, I offer you a shore excursion in Bali. This tour will allow you to truly explore the beauty of Bali. I have offered this tour for many clients, you may check it in my testimony. One of the most important things I do make sure you return to the ship in time, I do not want you to miss your ship, so you need to inform me of the time you can be at the port terminal and I'll have a sign with your name on it. I'll satisfy your curiosity and your many questions about my culture, places, and history. So enjoy your trip and relax. Speaking of convenience, you can customize your tour, choosing any places to visit, the starting time, the meeting point, the dropping point, and also book it in advance. You'll get my assistance and tour advice.

Fantastic day with Kenny. He designed the perfect tour with our requests in mind. The result was a day filled with exploring some of the highlights of this beautiful island. We immediately connected with the kind soul of Kenny and he proved to be incredibly knowledgeable on all topics we queried. His vehicle was clean and he drove us to each location in an efficient and safe manner. The lunch spot he picked for us to enjoy over the rice fields will hold a special place in our memories as well as the special coffee tasting stop. Ask him about Luwak coffee! We were so impressed, we cancelled our future airport transfer with the hotel so that we could enjoy some more time with Kenny before leaving Ubud. He will be our go-to tour guide when we return. 🙏🏼

We hired Kenny as a private guide and driver for 3 days. He was flexible in scheduling, altering our schedule at the last moment due to inclement weather. His English was excellent. He was prompt every morning. His vehicle was clean and well maintained, and his driving in those crazy Bali streets was also excellent. Found us great Warung's to eat at for lunch. Cheap and authentic.

Four of us had a wonderful time with Kenny. We booked two days in Bali, while on a cruise- He responded promptly to my emails prior to arriving. He was there to meet us upon arrival. He is professional, courteous and genuinely cares. He is very creative with photography; be sure to let him take photos. He knows where to get the best shots! I HIGHLY recommend Kenny!!

Kenny was very friendly and accommodating. We had been to Bali before and there was an area we had not seen and he was flexible in substituting our request. He knows his island and was very willing to answer our questions.

Day two of our tour with Kenny was amazing. He was a wealth of knowledge and got to everything on our wish list. We went to the monkey forest, Tegenungan waterfall, a traditional village, Tegalalang paddy rice field, coffee farm, and participated in a purification activity at the Tirta Empul. It was great to have a local with such a high level of knowledge about the area.. he knew how to get the monkeys close to us at the forest and walked us through the proper way to purify at the temple. Perfect day!
