Thoughtful, Flexible, and Memorable – A Perfect Bali Tour Experience! - We had a wonderful experience with Eco Bali Tours! Our driver and guide was incredibly kind, flexible, and attentive. He picked us up from a different location without any issues and adjusted the schedule to suit our needs. He took us to Kuburan Trunyan, the beautiful Penglipuran Village, and even a hidden waterfall that wasn’t crowded at all—a real highlight! He also dropped us off at our next hotel, making everything smooth and easy. When my friend wasn’t feeling well, he kindly bought her a Yakult—such a thoughtful gesture. Highly recommend Eco Bali Tours for a warm, reliable, and personalized Bali experience! Thank you Putu🙏🏼

Trunyen Cemetery - Absolutely fantastic tour, highly recommended doing this, the long drive is so worth it to experience a primitive culture, very interesting and beautiful place. Hot Springs and Penglipuran are also must dos. Our driver and tour guide was Dharma Fun Driver, he was awesome and made our trip so much more enjoyable.

Something different with amazing views - My friend and I wanted to do something different than all the other tours we kept seeing over and over again in Bali. We were so thrilled to have "Darma Fun Driver" take us off the beaten track for a day trip we will always remember. The first stop was Trunyan/Terunyan Cemetery which was across a lake by boat. The views were just incredible and the Cemetery was completely unique to anything we had ever seen before. It was then off to Batur hot springs which was an amazing place with ongoing incredible views!! 😍 Highly recommend having a massage by one of the ladies whilst relaxing in the hot springs and enjoying the scenery.. just bliss!! 🫶 We stopped for lunch with more amazing views then on to Penglipuran traditional village. The traditional homes have a variety of souvenirs. Some typical of Bali and others traditional and unique. The people in the village were so sweet and friendly and buying goodies from them is nothing like buying in Kuta which we appreciated. It was a long day with stairs and walking to get to the views and a decent drive to get there and back (Bali traffic will be Bali traffic.) We were so grateful for our driver Darma who took such good care of us, had a wonderful clean car, lots of knowledge and a great sense of humour. Lots of great things to see and well worth the money. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended Trunyan Cemetery Tour - Darma fun driver took us to Trunyan Cemetery with a boat already organised for us. Visiting this uneaco site is not for fainted heart but it would be once in your life time experience. Then Darma took us to a beautiful Hot Spring and he organised everything for us (tickets, towels, and lockers). Last visit was a traditional Balinese village, again Darma took care of our tickets and brought us back to Kuta. Such a fun day, thanks Darma

Great Day Out with Professional Driver! - From start to finish our trip was very well organised. We were contacted the day before by Raka, our driver, to confirm pick-up time, etc. He arrived 20 minutes early, which was great as we were ready, and as we had a long day ahead, we were happy to get on the road. On route, Raka pointed out things of interest and was always happy to take photos and videos when we got to our locations. He was super friendly and helpful, providing water and cold cloths to help cool us down. He drove with care and always checked we were belted in before moving off. Nothing was to much trouble. We visited the Trunyan Cemetrey, the Hot Springs, and Pengilpuran Village. All very interesting in different ways. We were supposed to visit the Tibumana Waterfall, unfortunately, due to a wedding that day we weren't allowed in as we would not have enough time to get to the waterfall. However, Raka took us to another one further up the road. So all was good. On the way back to Canggu, I wanted to take a photo of the sunset, so Raka pulled over and stopped the traffic so I could cross the road and get a good picture. All in all, it was lovely, informative day trip made all the better for having Raka as our driver.

Unforgettable Day Trip - We had an amazing one-day trip exploring some of the most unique and culturally rich places in Bali. The highlight of the tour was definitely our guide — he was incredibly knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and shared tons of interesting facts and local stories along the way. Overall, this trip was the perfect mix of culture, nature, and storytelling. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to see a different, deeper side of Bali — and again, huge thanks to our amazing guide for making it so memorable!

It was interesting but long. - It was a very long day as we started from Nusa Dua. When booking tour ensure you are closer as for us it was a 3 hour drive to get to the first destination.
