Highlights
  • Trunyan Cemetery - Trunyan Village is home to the Bali Aga tribes. In this village, a distinctive tradition exists: the deceased are not buried but placed beneath the Taru Menyan Tree. Remarkably, despite being in the open air, the bodies do not emit any unpleasant smell. This is due to the Taru Menyan Tree, which effectively neutralizes odors.

What a day trip! - The day trip was a highlight of our short stay. I really nice taste of what Bali has to offer, a long day but worth it. The scenery was fantastic with such amazing rainforest. Our driver and tour guide Budi was excellent. He was knowledgeable, patient, but didn't over do it (he was happy for quite time as well).

A piece of Bali’s heart. A wonderful day of culture, nature and smiles right through the j - My 10 yo daughter and I had a lovely day with Putu as our tour guide, Putu was extremely knowledgeable and well travelled. Putu is a great guide, very accommodating, made us feel truly welcomed in Bali and also has pleasant sense of humour that made the day even more enjoyable. We saw and visited a lot of places at a comfortable, well-paced itinerary. Putu thought us about Balinese culture and customs, showed us local edible plants and plant medicines and even took us to try delicious Balinese food at a local market. Everything was well organised, relaxed, and informative. At bed time my daughter felt mesmerised about the day and told me she could see temples, waterfalls and jungle when she closed her eyes. Highly recommended!!

Trunyan Cemetery, Hot Spring, Penglipuran Village, and Waterfall Tour - We had a wonderful day on this tour and can highly recommend it. Our guide Putu was extremely informative, shared excellent local knowledge at each stop, and spoke very good English, which made the experience easy and enjoyable. The itinerary was well paced and varied, Trunyan Cemetery was fascinating and culturally insightful, Penglipuran Village was beautifully preserved and peaceful although busy, and Tibumana Waterfall was absolutely stunning. Finishing the day at the Batur Natural Hot Springs was the perfect way to relax after a full day of sightseeing. Thank you ‘PutuAgus’ for a memorable and well-organised tour🙏

Of the best trips I have ever had, I enjoyed it a lot as a traveller; I felt super safe. Putu was the best - Putu is an amazing guide, he talked to me a lot about the culture and made me feel super safe. He was always very friendly explaining everything about the places we visited, with excellent English. He was a super good driver and made me feel very comfortable. Even, I told him that I had not been able to get cash out of the ATMs and he helped me h explained the process so that I had no problem. I couldn’t recommend it any more; this trip is an opportunity you can’t miss.

Trunyun cemetery 🪦 - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful day out with Budi. He rocked up to my hotel a little early, which I appreciated. A true professional 😁 As a solo female traveller, I felt safe and cared for. He explained the history and took many photos for me.

Great Day in Bali Highlands! - I had a great day with Mr. Darma Fun Driver. He is very knowledgeable about the Balinese culture and a genuinely friendly person. He is a safe driver and shows the beautiful less crowded part of the island of gods. Thank you Darma

Excellent! - Absolutely wonderful day with Putu! He is great company for a full day tour, speaks excellent English, and is more than happy to answer questions and share information about Balinese culture. The boat ride across Batur Lake is picturesque, and the visit to Truyan Graves is treated respectfully and with reverence. The Hot Springs was relaxing and not too busy, and a stop for lunch with a view of Mt Batur was spectacular. The visit to the traditional Balinese village was educational and an interesting look into Balinese living, and the final water fall stop was beautiful. In all, it was a great tour, and I would definitely recommend Putu for future tours! 10/10
