Agung is a great guide who made our trip an absolute pleasure.
He is well spoken and fluent in English.
Someone who loves his country and adapts to personal needs.
He promptly applies whatsapps and ended up arranging all our transfers in Bali.
I will strongly recommend Agung as a guide.

Gede was our driver from Permuteran to Ubud. We organised upfront several stops so we had a full day schedule.
Gede has a relaxing driving style making us feeling safe in the Bali traffic.

I had a great full day with Ketut El - temples, waterfalls, mountains and a visit to Ubud. Just before we came back to the hotel we even got to see some rooster fighting at the local rooster arena, an incredible Balinese experience!

I had a great time on my tour. I was more interested in a general look at the north east of Bali without too much emphasis on peak tourist spots and that's exactly what I Gede Dedy provided . He was a great source of information on the local customs and beliefs and lots of laughs as well. Thanks for an interesting and informative day!

We had a great trip with Gede. He was super knowledgeable, brought us to the main sights and was very warm and kind.
We were travelling on the Queen Elizabeth cruise and Gede collected us from the port. He brought us to the temples, waterfalls, markets and finally the beach, where we had a swim. We learnt a lot about Bali society and enjoyed his lovely company. Would strongly recommend Gede as a guide.Great tour with Gede

Putu was a fantastic guide with so much knowledge to share about the culture of Denpasar. He led us through the entire tour with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm. Along the way, he introduced us to some amazing local food stalls, giving us a delicious taste of authentic Balinese cuisine.
While some places might look a bit concerning to tourists at first glance, Putu always chose the food spots with our safety and hygiene in mind. We felt completely comfortable and well taken care of throughout the experience. It was a truly enjoyable and enriching experience! Fantastic

I did the 3 hour city tour on my own with I Putu Merta and thoroughly enjoyed it. Putu knows so much! We did the cultural sights and also the market and some food tasting - a lot was new to me! Putu was friendly, attentive and happy to answer any questions. At the end of the tour he made sure I was safely in my taxi and I appreciated that. I can highly recommend Putu! An interesting tour with a lovely guide!

The food tasting with Agung was an experience my family and I will cherish. From walking in local markets to try fruit and staples like bakso, then to drive around the city and stop in places to try an amazing range of local dishes including dessert and coffee. Best food tasting Iāve been on with WithLocals. Thank you Agung!!!Unbelievable!!!

We were very lucky to be able to discover Bali with Putu and can recommend him wholeheartedly!
From the very beginning, he understood our wishes and tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, especially with children. With a lot of patience, knowledge and humor, he not only showed us the well-known sights!
We were particularly impressed by his passion for Balinese culture and history, which he conveyed in a lively and exciting way. At the same time, he was always attentive, reliable and made sure that we felt comfortable at all times.
Thanks to him, we not only saw Bali, but also really experienced it. Thank you Putu - we would travel with you again at any time!Again at any time!

Our trips with Merta were amazing. From the initial planning, the advise and the days itself.
Merta was on time, super patient with us and was amazing with the kids, shown by the amount of hugs he was getting.
Conversations were interesting and we learned a lot about Balinese culture.
We never felt rushed and could take all the time we need and we changed itinerary without any problems.
Would definitely book with Merta again.Amazing

Hands down, one of the best days we had in Bali! Agung put together a personalized tour for us based on some sights I wanted to visit.
The tour took us through some of the islandās most stunning temples and waterfalls, but what made it truly unforgettable was our guide himself, Agung. Heās the kind of guide you instantly want to be friends withāfun, kind, and full of fascinating local knowledge.
It rained during part of our tour, but Agung had us totally coveredāliterally. He came prepared with rain capes for everyone and kept the vibe positive and fun the whole time. He saved me from taking quite the spill as well.. Seriously, heās an absolute pro.
Also, letās just say it, Agung is kind of a Zaddy. I have it on good authority, that he is quite the stand-in "Instagram Boyfriend" and has got top-tier photo skills. He knew all the best photo spots and made sure we got amazing shots without ever feeling rushed. We traveled as a couple but I would feel very comfortable w Agung if I had traveled as a solo female. He is šÆ professional.
If you want to experience Baliās beauty rain or shine, and have a blast while doing it, book a tour w Agung. You wonāt regret it!Temples, Waterfalls & the Ultimate Guide

We had an fun day exploring Bali with Putu as our guide! From the moment he picked us up, he made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Heās incredibly kind and a true wealth of knowledge about Balinese culture, sights, and cuisine.
Putu was very helpful and flexible in personalizing the trip and introduced us to authentic Balinese dishes at some great spots, that we would never have discovered on our own. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and full of flavor.
Putu will absolutely keep you entertained. Highly recommended!Amazing Waterfall & Food Tour with Putu

From the moment we arrived in Bali, Agung was nothing short of amazing. Friendly, kind, and incredibly helpful, he made us feel welcome and cared for every step of the way. Whether it was explaining the rich culture, finding the best local spots, or adjusting plans to fit our needs, they were always there with a smile and the perfect solution.
His deep knowledge of Bali, combined with his genuine passion for what he does, made this trip truly unforgettable. Thanks to his guidance, we experienced the island in a way we never could have on our own ā from hidden temples and stunning viewpoints to delicious local food and meaningful traditions.
We couldnāt have asked for a better guide. If youāre visiting Bali, do yourself a favor and book with them ā theyāll turn a great trip into an incredible memory.An Unforgettable Experience!

The best, warm-hearted, knowledgeable, interesting, multi-talented, patient, kind guide ever! No matter the subject, whether culinary, culture, historically, mysticism, religion, or horti/agriculture...Putu knows! Spending time with him has been one big masterclass on the ins and outs of Bali. We enjoyed every single one of his stories and anecdotes with insights on the island's culture. He took our family to a jaw-dropping beach, to numerous temples, the lush Goa Raja waterfall, traditional Balinese salt farming and let us have a taste of the best babi guling. A fully-emersive experience!

Putu was an absolute delight and very happy to please our group.
We started at the markets with a very informative tour and tried some delicious local fruits etc. and found out the local system with the different tiers of quality of vegetables going to restaurants, supermarkets and local suppliers.
We then move to a beautiful Warung amongst a garden where Putu gave an very knowledgable talk about the value of us all visiting and contributing to the local market and how important tourism is to Bali. The food was all delicious (mostly vegan) yum.
Lastly, the authentic coffee shop was our last visit where we experienced not only the delicious coffee but one of the original coffee places in Denpasar which had the coolest vibe and a awesome experience.
I would highly recommend Putu as he tailored this tour to suit our needs with our group. See you again soon Putu and THANK YOU šPutu your were AMAZING

Having been fortunate to have traveled to many countries and hired many guides, I can say with confidence that Putu ranks among the very best in my experience. Putu went out of his way to make sure our day was focused on the sites and activities most important to us, and planned the day accordingly, always making each stop easy (facilitating access, obtaining tickets, etc). Even better, Putu picked up on our other interests along the way, surprising us with impromptu stops at fruit stands, durian tasting and specialty shops. Throughout, we were both impressed and appreciative of Putu's broad knowledge of Bali history and culture, both past and present, as well as his positive attitude. An Extraordinary Guide!

Gede met us at the cruise dock in Benoa and took our party of 4 up into the hills for a truly Balanese experience . He arranged a driver with a big van (Toyota Hisense) to fit our large American bodies and all of our luggage. We visited several temples including the Holy Water Temple, a rice terrace, and a coffee shop tasting where we could sample Luwak (chat) coffee. Great experience! Gede planned a full day for us and we had a fantastic time. The lunch spot he selected was outstanding. Once we were worn out, he delivered us to our hotel in Dusa Nua. A fun day was had by all!

Agung not only knows everything about the island but genuinely cared about our interests, was thoughtful to our needs, and made best use of the time we allocated. He is a very effective communicator, did not rush us at any point, and customized various stops on our itinerary based on input we provided to him. He also surprised us by exceeding expectations like sunset dinner on the beach, local village visits, and hidden gems that other tours will not likely visit. We tend to set the bar high for customer service when we look for local guides - Agung was a perfect fit for what we hoped to accomplish and made our travel logistics a breeze. Outstanding trip with a great guide

I was looking for a guide with deep knowledge of Balinese culture, as I knew very little and am naturally very curious. Putu exceeded all my expectations! He answered every one of my questions with patience and shared fascinating insights from his personal experiences. His kindness and vast knowledge truly stood out. The day I spent with Putu was undoubtedly the highlight of my trip to Bali. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an enriching and memorable experience!Best guide ever!
Ein ganztƤgiger Ausflug mit Putu über Bali - sehr individuell, sehr kommunikativ und lehrreich und vor allem sehr angenehm... wenn man mal vom katastrophalen Verkehr auf der Insel absieht. Reisfelder, Tempel, Mittagessen, Kaffeeplantage, Wasserfall und einiges mehr. Unser Guide ist auf der einen Seite weit gereist und Andererseits ein echter Balinese mit landwirtschaftlichen Wurzeln... soviel Wissen. Einfachvtoll. UneingeschrƤnkte Empfehlung an Putu. Perfekter Ausflug mit Ćberraschungen

He was so friendly and polite but moreso was so knowledgeable- you really felt you were learning something in a fun way. He accommodated all our requests but also gave a true Bali experience that we were not expecting. Would recommend Puta to anyone and Iām so glad I chose him for both our tours.

We had one day in Bali after getting off a cruise ship and having a late evening flight, so we booked Agung to show us some of the sights. He picked us up from the dock at 9am and planned a full day of sightseeing for us, which, despite the weather not being the greatest, ended up being an extremely enjoyable day. Agung stayed with us until after 8pm when he dropped us at the airport, going above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful day. I highly recommend Agung for your Bali sightseeing.Wonderful day! Agung was an amazing guide.
