What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Bali
- Amazing Bali 10 Days - Ubud/ Yogyakarta/ Seminyak
It was my expected trip and I prepared a lot for my trip. I am so lucky to find this company and all the services went smoothly. I visited all the highlight places in Bali, it amazed me. Guide so helpful and very good English speaking.
- A Unique week in Very Famous Bali ~
AMAZING VALUE. Great driver and accomodation
- Bali Adventure Tours
This was the first time we’ve done a tour with Putu Bali Driver, And my first impression to his services was very good he takes real care of his clients and even went extra to help us with things like airport pickup, arranging beverages and snacks etc. Our tour was very well organised and it was very well decided that where we will stay and what options we have to eat, being local he knew the best options we can get without spending extra money. The car we travelled with was very clean. We were worry free throughout the trip as everything was sorted and planned in advance which let us actually enjoy the tour. This is a complete tour of Bali consisting of every adventurous activity there are to do in Bali our first day started a bit slow visiting temples, gardens and waterfall, but the second day pumped us up as it was the snorkelling day, we started our second day with Lempuyang temple then tirta gangga and in the last the main highlight of the day blue lagoon snorkelling it was an amazing experience. Next day we went for Batur mount Trekking it is exhausting, do wear some good quality sports shoes and but wait our next stop was hot spring which took all our fatigue. We enjoyed the most on our last day of the tour we were asked for some customisations if we want, We did jet ski, Parasailing and banana boat riding at Nusa Dua Beach. Overall I really loved every single day of our tour. I want to Thanks Putu and and his team.
