This is a great experience. The driver on Penida Island is Dao! He is super nice. He talked and laughed along the way and helped us take a lot of photos and videos! There is a transition video for each scene! Super satisfied ❤️ The car is also very clean and driving is also very safe. It is a good experience! Next time I have the opportunity to go to the east line, I hope to meet Brother Dao again! Full marks! Attached are some of Brother Dao's masterpieces👀
