I Putu Merta was fantastic. He is well informed and a great ambassador for Bali. We spent an entire day together and enjoyed the tour and the company. I wouldn't hesitate to schedule another tour with Merta when I return another time. Thank youWarm and gracious host of the island

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. He’s 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

I spent the day with Putu on a private tour and it was simply amazing from beginning to end!! I took the tour without my friends and felt completely safe and at the end of the day I saw and learned so much about Bali. Putu was kind, patient and SOO knowledgeable and I highly recommend him. Amazing experience from beginning to end

Highly recommend - the reviews speak for themselves! So friendly, patient and knowledgeable, he will tailor your experience to your needs. A perfect full day tour where we saw temples, waterfall, went on the swing over the rice paddies etc… don’t hesitate to book, you won’t regret it!Fantastic guide

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! A cultural deepdive with I Putu Merta

We hebben een hele fijne en interessante rondleiding gehad, I Putu Merta heeft echt de tijd voor ons genomen. Eén van ons is net ziek geweest (waarschijnlijk bali belly) en hij heeft hier rekening mee gehouden door alleen te gaan eten bij tentjes waar het eten goed verhit (geserveerd) werd en hij koos overal voor de meest verse producten. Hij spreekt goed Engels en we gingen niet enkel eten proeven maar I Putu Merta vertelde ons van alles over het land en de cultuur. Hij nam echt uitgebreid de tijd hiervoor en we kregen absoluut niet het idee dat het gehaast ging, we hebben ruim 3 uur rond gewandeld en hij vraagt geregeld of je nog iets wil, maar je krijgt al zo veel eten dat wij het knap zouden vinden als dit nodig is. Het eten was allemaal erg lekker, natuurlijk heb je je voorkeuren maar niets viel ons tegen. Als wij weer in Bali komen zouden we zo nog een tour van I Putu Merta willen, we kunnen dit dan ook aan een ieder aanbevelen, het bleek één van de leukste activiteiten tijdens onze hele reis. Privétour met persoonlijke touch

From the first meeting with I Putu we all felt like we had been friends forever. We are a family of 5 adults who spent the day driving with I Putu and he made sure we had the best possible day, adjusting the schedule as we went to suit traffic, crowds and our personal interests. His easy, happy nature combined with a fantastic knowledge of all aspects of Balinese life, culture and history made the day fly by and we all learnt so much. Thank you IPutu!Best day in Bali

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 🙏Putu your were AMAZING
