Helpful tips from Bali Tours Cheap .com

I learned these travel tips and insights on my trips to Bali. They are worth knowing before you leave on your Bali trip.

Bali Tours Cheap - When to come -
Bali has five tourist seasons. The best one for you depends on variables such as time, money, weather, and availability.
Pre-prime season
From April to May. Rooms in Bali are easily found and prices, crowds and the weather are moderate.
Prime season
Spans May through September. Sunny days rule -- it seldom rains. However, prices and crowding soar, and airline seats and hotel rooms in Bali are heavily booked, particularly in August.
Post-prime season
From September to mid December. Variables similar to the pre-prime season (see).
Holiday season
Spans mid-December to early-January when visitors come for their Christmas and New Year's vacations. Like the prime season, prices and crowds rise -- and airline seats and hotel space become scarce. The biggest difference is more rain.
Rainy season
This category spans from early-January to April (though the actual rainy season starts in December). Everything comes down -- prices, crowds, room scarcity and, of course, the rain. That's not as bad as it seems because the rainfall is the refreshing warm tropical variety (not the cold damp type temperate zone residents experience). Moreover, there will always be plenty of sun during the rainy season.

Bali Tours Cheap - How long to stay
Don't underestimate the number of days you'll need. I've asked many a traveler who has been to Bali, "What was your biggest misgiving about your Bali vacation." Most responded that they wished they had added more days to their Bali trips.

At the very least, you need 7 to 10 days. A month would be even better. Bali has many interesting attractions.

Bali Tours Cheap - Bargaining
It's a fun sport worth learning because it will save you money in Bali. All it takes is a little practice to gain your confidence.

Many sellers automatically inflate their prices beforehand in the expectation that you will bargain them down. If you don't, you're going to grossly overpay -- and often earn their disrespect for being naive.

If something doesn't have a price tag, the cost is likely negotiable. If it is marked, you have to trust your instinct whether to negotiate or not. Obviously, most merchants such as quality pharmacies, upmarket hotel stores and major departments stores seldom if ever negotiate. But you may be surprised at the number of upscale sellers that do (including exclusive art studios and galleries).
Here's how to negotiate
First, establish in your mind what you're truly willing to pay (your ultimate max). Next, ask the seller, "What's your very, very lowest price?" Offer considerably less than what he quotes you (don't be shy about offering 50% of his opening figure). Then -- after a series of friendly back-and-forth counter offers -- you and the vendor reach a mutually fair and acceptable figure.

Knowing the options can noticeably decrease the cost of your Bali vacation.
