Awesome tour! - Putu is an amazing guide! He is very passionate about his culture and loves sharing about the places we visited as well as his everyday life. He answered our questions with really interesting, heartwarming, personal stories which we loved! I feel like I understand the Balinese culture so much better now! The places we visited and the stories behind it were already awesome, but Putu's stories really were the icing on the cake!

Amazing unique must do experiences - My sister and I had the most AMAZING experience on this tour. Our guide Darma was brilliant! He was so funny, kind and informative. The experience at the cemetery was beyond words. An experience that we are honoured to have been a part of. Im mesmerised by this tradition and culture. The hot springs were beautiful!!! Very clean and many pools to enjoy. Apparently I look 50 years younger now. The villiage tour was very unique. Take your cash because each home in the villiage has things for sale and we didn't have enough money to buy all that we wanted. The waterfall has a LOT of stairs to get to it. So be prepared for that. On the way down there are little food places and we had the most yummiest ice cream I've ever eaten. I had pineapple and I'm in looove. The views throughout the journey were so varied. We saw so many different views if Bali. From the hustle of the busy city to the unique views of the volcanoes. Highly highly recommend this tour and Darma. I'll actually do this again next time I'm in Bali so I can experienceit again with different family members too . Oh.. don't forget your sunscreen 🤦‍♀️

You should definitely go ♪ - I went on a tour of Tourgnan Cemetery alone. The cemetery was sacred, not smelly. A monkey was watching like a guardian god. The last time I visited Bali, I went to a hot spring and asked if I could change it, and he happily rescheduled it a bit. Thanks to Guide Darma for driving safely and being flexible. "He lectured me on the Balinese Hindu way of thinking and told me, ""You don't have to pay anything here, but you're a good Guide!""" I was on my own, but I had a great day! Thank you very much 😊

Tour of Torugnan Cemetery - I went on a tour of Torugnan Cemetery alone! The cemetery was quiet, and the monkeys were there like guardians. It was an indescribable feeling. The last time I was in Bali, I went to a hot spring and asked to go somewhere else. They came up with all sorts of alternatives on the spot and took me to the Goagaja ruins. He was flexible and drove safely. Thank you to DARMA. He was a reliable Guide in the car, teaching me the basic principles of Balinese Hinduism and telling me, "Here there are people who come to sell things, but you don't have to pay anything!" I'm glad I joined this tour because it was a place that I couldn't go by myself.

Amazing day led by an amazing guide! - The whole day was absolutely brilliant, Ajus could not have been more attentive as a guide and driver.. He was very knowledgeable about everything we visited. Ajus was very friendly and could also have a bit of banter.. He was always happy to take photos and he went above and beyond to make sure that we had a very good day!
