“Best way to spend limited time in Bali - Putu was the best! We had very limited time in Bali so wanted to make the most of it. Stopped at the rice terrace, tirta empul, coffee and tea tasting, tirta gangga and lempuyang temple. We saw everything we wanted to and more and putu was very reliable with his recommendations. Would recommend Putu to anyone coming to Bali.” - Reviewed on 2024-02-13
