“This was an absolutely fantastic 5 star tour of Ubud and surrounding destinations. My driver was Mr J and he was excellent, you couldn’t want for a more professional, helpful or knowledgeable guide. He took care of all arrangements anRead more”
Review of Ubud’s private full-day tour with Monkey Forest, rice terraces, temple, waterfall, market, palace, lunch, and jungle swing.
“Our driver and tour guide was Dudy. He was very personable and knowlegable. He told us a lot of Balinese culture. And he was great about asking if we wanted family photos in all the locations. Our 1st stop was at Satria Luwak Coffee. Here they gave a tour of all different plants, cocoa, coffee, then there was a tasting session where you were able to taste 13 different teas and coffees. I do not like coffee but they were so good I ended up buying a package to take home! Then we went to the monkey forest. I loved just watching the monkeys some had a stone of sort…”
Review of Ubud’s private day tour with monkeys, rice terraces, jungle swing, waterfall, Tirta Empul, and Balinese culture.
“I loved this and my resulting pictures are beautiful. In addition, our photographer was very nice. My only complaint was that yoing men facilitating the swing were impatient and a bit aggressive in their tone and seemed annoyed for no reason.”
Review of Ubud’s private day tour, with temples, waterfall, rice terraces, monkey forest, local art, pricing, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“The guide was actually a driver that should not be taking women around. His views about men being primary earners was discussed for hours and he mocked women on the street. Several times he discouraged us from making planned stops so he could finish his day earlier. He did not take us to the monkey forest and instead took us to a monkey river so he could get done. I would definitely not recommend this tour.”

Explore North Bali on a private tour to Ulun Danu, Banyumala Waterfalls, Jatiluwih rice terraces, and Tanah Lot for $100 per person.
“It was an amazing adventure. Our Guide Wayan was excellent. I loved all the different activities, and to have lunch overlooking the rice terraces was beautiful. My only criticism and concerns for anyone, going to the waterfall, although beautiful, it is NOT for everyone, getting to the falls is quite the journey steep hill walking just to get to the waterfall steps, and the steps down to the waterfall were treacherous, extremely steep, not much of a handrail, once down it was incredible but then you had to walk back up. So word of warning on this.”
Review of Ubud Traditional Spa’s Balinese full-body massage, with welcome drinks, herbal tea, transfers, pricing, timing, and booking tips.
“Entering the spa was transformative. The calming music, incense, ambience and welcome were exactly what a spa should be. The massage room was clean and beautiful. They have a shower to use after your massage. The ginger tea was lovely but there was no fruit plate even though it is mentioned. The free pickup and drop off option worked out great. Thanks!”
Review of Bali’s Tibumana, Tukad Cepung, and Tegenungan waterfalls, with private transport, lunch, practical tips, and upgrade options.
“When in Bali, you MUST see the waterfalls! What better way than to book a tour which includes three of the best? I chose the rice terrance, lunch, and jungle swing additions. It’s a full day (so dress comfortably)! I was only spending one day in the area, so I was glad to be able to pack in so many experiences. Our brief tasting at the coffee plantation was informative and a perfect reset for a full day of touring. Enjoy all the delicious local coffees and teas they provide! Gus K. was my tour guide, and he was absolutely top notch. Attentive, kind, took great photos, and went above…”

Review of Bali’s Mount Batur sunrise hike, breakfast, hot spring option, transport, fitness needs, price, tips, and practical booking advice.
“We did this trek on my 40th birthday and what a way to start my next decade! It started with a 2am pick up in Ubud and we got to the bottom of the mountain around 330am. We were given tea, a head torch, and a stick (if you wanted it). There were also toilets available at this point (none at the top so go before you start!). The hike began around 4am and it was dark, dusty and steep in places but our wonderful guide stopped whenever needed and knew good places to perch and have a water stop. The closer to the top you get the tougher the…”
