Excellent and we had the best guide!!!!

Our driver, Putu, arrived promptly in clean/air conditioned car (complete with cold bottled water). As we drove to our stops, he explained certain sites we passed. He cheerfully took our pictures at each site and explained history and customs. He never rushed us at any of the sites. The temple sites were beautiful; the Monkey Sanctuary was precious. We were allowed as much time as we wanted. Putu was wonderful!!! The company shirts said something like “you arrive as clients and leave as friends.” This was so true with Putu as our guide. As he represents Eco Bali Tours, we would highly recommend Eco Bali Tours and Putu as a guide to create wonderful memories of Bali.
