I agree with the others, do it there. Not only will it be better value,you will be helping a local make a living. You can customize your tour to go where you want to go and also go on the day that suits you. Also by using a local driver there's a chance you'll make a friend that helps to make Bali the special place it is. Drivers are not in short supply, you'll have no trouble finding one(they'll find you). I can give the name of a good driver(who has become a good friend) if you like, up to you.
Enjoy yourselves.
