ABOUT

Gusti Made Anggara Arta Owner

My name is I Gusti Made Anggara Arta, aka "Made". I'm 24 years old and was born and raised in Bali, where I live today in the small village of Taman, just next to Ubud.

My village is on the west side of the sacred Ayung river. The local people have taught me how to farm, build a home, make offerings for ceremonies, and the importance of being kind and helpful to others. That is the Balinese way.

I became a tour driver at 16 and have worked as a full-time guide since 2010, serving over 400 happy customers whom I now call friends. I married my wife, Ayu Cita, and started my own company after the birth of our first child, Eka, in 2015.

I am so proud of my profession, and excited to share my fabulous country with others. I would love to introduce you to Balinese culture, and share knowledge of my homeland with you. I strive to give all of my lovely customers a memorable vacation in Bali, so that you may bring home wonderful stories to tell your loved ones, and memories that will last a lifetime.
