BUDI IS THE BEST GUIDE! - Budi was absolutely fantastic. Extremely helpful and was a wealth of knowledge on all things Bali, the religion, the culture and an expert on finding the quickest path to all our destinations.

Variety, beauty, and a day we will remember for many years to come - Our day with Putu was fun and fantastic. While the visit to the cemetery might not be a sweet experience for everyone, I found it fascinating. The boat ride felt ethereal. My husband loved soaking in the hot spring waters. Penglipuran Village was picturesque but also quite commercial. Its bamboo forest provided a respite from the heat. We visited Goa Rajo waterfall -- what a stunningly beautiful spot! Putu delighted us with stories and anecdotes and anticipated our every need, for example, providing us with hiking sticks for the trek to the waterfall. It was a long, but absolutely wonderful day in Bali!

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

Beautiful Visit to the Crater Lake Batun in Northern Bali - We greatly enjoyed the visit to Crater Lake Batun in northern Bali, including the boat ride to the Trunyan Cemetery and the hot spring spa. The area is quite scenic and due to its altitude it has a moderate climate and is where many of Bali's fruits and vegetables are grown.

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.
