I had a really good experience with my journey. My driver Pranandika Arya Hudatara from Magir travel was really the best and it was so easy to get informations from him and to communicate. Overall a really good trip and I would for sure recommend it.

We were told to wait in the lobby 60 mins before departure. So we were ready for 6am. The driver turned up at 7.45, 45 mins later than scheduled. We then missed our 10am ferry and had to wait 2 hours for the next one. Our tickets also do not confirm the actual ferry time on them through Bali Magir Tours which makes it difficult to work out timings. When requesting the ferry times from them that have not been willing to give it to us. The driver did at least get us on the 12.00 ferry free of charge, so we are grateful for that.

We had a smooth and well-organised trip with Magir Trans Bali. Communication was excellent and our driver Gede Tias was in contact via WhatsApp prior to collection to let us know exactly when he would arrive. The minibus was comfortable and got to the port safely. The speedboat was also good and the crossing took around 40 mins to Nusa Penida.
