Things to do in  Ubud

Magnificent day made even better by our guide Bendi who showed us great insight into the Balinese lifestyle. The tour introduced us to all the things to see in the Ubud area.

My experience with my travel guide Widi was great. I got to see all the cool Ubud places such as Monkey Forest, rice terrace and others. I would highly recommend doing this tour

I would book again for a tour, as I visited Ubud and some other locations, and had a safe and comfortable experience with an air-conditioned vehicle and an English-speaking driver.

This was an awesome tour! Everyone from our driver to our guide was fabulous. We got to see parts of Bali that are not touristy. It was an easy downhill route (not sure how they managed this). You should definitely book this if you’re in the ubud area!

It was absolutely amazing. The tour was well organized, the bikes are of super good quality and the guides are very mindful. We got to see very different view on Bali, coming from slightly touristic Ubud. Also the Tempel and the village was amazing. Can 100% recommend!

What a wonderful experience. From start to finish we were treated with kindness, respect and an abundance of knowledge. Vendi our guide went out of his way to make it enjoyable for us. The tour allows you to see so many different landmarks in Ubud. Highly recommend this tour.

We enjoyed our private tour with Komang. He was flexible in creating an itinerary that fit our schedule. Temple, waterfall, Monkey forest, and a short stop at woodworker studio. He is working hard on his already pretty good English. Only downside was traffic leaving Ubud, but otherwise good day with even good window shopping during the drive.

Really enjoyed the visit to the night market in Gianyar. It was good to see a bit of the ‘real Bali’ just outside of Ubud. Our guide Wayan was excellent: really informative yet friendly, and he helped us find some really good foods to taste. He also made sure any tastes, allergies etc were catered for.

We had a great time exploring Ubud with our guide Legi who was super knowledgeable and helpful. He was happy to proceed at our own pace to give us time to fully take in the town and any activities we enjoyed the most. He also took so many pictures and videos for us to remember our visit. I would highly recommend it!

It didn’t have many reviews yet but so lucky I found this tour. I did this for my birthday with my parents. We got picked up at 3:30am at our hotel. It’s early but you need early. It’s about 70 minute drive from Ubud to the Jeep, then 30 minutes to Mt Batur. Grateful for the Jeep and our guide because there was some expert driving required and some steep off-reading! We arrived at 5:30 for a 6:30 sunrise, and our guide expertly found us the last great viewpoint. Lots of other jeeps around so arrive later and it wouldn’t have been good. It was cold though so dress appropriately. The Jeep doesn’t take you to the 1717m summit, I think it takes you about 1400m above sea level. That’s good enough. You can hike the rest if you want but 1400m is high enough to get a great view. He was so hospitable, offering us breakfast and drinks and telling us about some of the local history, and he offered to take photos of our family that turned out great. He spoke excellent English. My mother has recently broken her ribs and shoulder and is still a bit fragile. Our guide was so considerate making sure she was comfortable and helping her out. We did a combo tour of hot springs afterwards, and while the tour and driving was fantastic, the hotsprings itself was mediocre. The pools weren’t that hot and pools were a bit dirty. We left after an hour because we were tired and wanted to go back to our hotel. Dropped off and done by 11:30. Great Jeep and driver. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour for anyone interested in Mt Batur by Jeep.

We really enjoyed this experience and would recommend to anyone staying in Bali, especially those in Ubud. Our guide and chef was so knowledgeable and spoke fluent English. He brought us fruit and sweet treats to try at the market which was delicious. The market was purely locals, super nice to see and be welcomed into it as an outsider. Really special to learn from someone as we walked too. We also got shown a rice field on the way home. Having the layout explained to us was really interesting. The cooking itself was great! Highly recommend for friends or couples - but I imagine an outgoing single can do it with ease too. The food was great. We made milder dishes due to the majority of the group wanting less spice and some of us had the option to add in more at the end.

This was a wonderful tour! Got to see so much of Ubud. Our tour guide Adi was awesome, he helped us with translations with local vendors, explained details about each destination and helped us take so many photos! Couldn’t have asked for a better day, thank you.

The tour ended up being just my wife and I and our driver. We saw two waterfalls, Tirta Empul Temple, Mount Batur, a coffee plantation and a jewelry craft market. So, we covered a lot of ground - and hit most of the spots we wanted to see outside of Ubud. Our driver, Wiyian Suka was an excellent tour guide and driver. His knowledge of the sites was impressive. His English was easy to understand.

I loved this experience! Our tour operator (Jero Susun) was wonderful! He was always available to answer questions which I greatly appreciated. Our guide (Nukare) greeted us in the morning. He was very nice and enthusiastic. He made the trip more enjoyable for me. He always checked in and asked if we were happy and ok. Once we got close to the summit we stopped and had breakfast. It was very good. Nice to have warm tea when the cold wind picks up. After breakfast we finished the hike and reached the summit in time to watch the sun come up. It was gorgeous. We got really lucky with the weather. Our guide was more than happy to take photos for us. (I recommend checking the photos before leaving - just to make sure you like them) He was a very fun and lively person. It made the hike even better. Once we got back down we headed to the hotsprings. Our driver was very patient and waited for us for almost 2hours. The hotsprings are lovely. After we were done there we got dropped off at our hotel in Ubud (which was not our original pick up hotel; so that was extremely kind of them) I highly recommend this operation; they will take good care of you. I forgot my jacket and sunglasses and they made sure to get them back to me. Just incredible service! Thank you so much for this amazing adventure! Please note: The tour guides have no control over the amount of dirt bikes on the trail. They do their best to hike up in spots that the bikes cannot access. The bikes stop around 3/4s the way up the mountain. It is a busy little mountain! Do not expect to feel like you have it to yourself. Be courteous and patient. Also, it gets chilly! Don't underestimate that. Bring some warm clothes with you.

I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Wayan for the remarkable experience I had when I visited Ubud yesterday. The locations were stunning and the host/guide/driver was very courteous. I am immensely thankful for the opportunity to have been able to visit Bali's best places, which I have truly enjoyed and will always remember. Thank you again for everything.

As a first-time female solo traveler (also being rather young early twenties), I was wary about going on a private tour around Bali with a guide that I did not know. However, this truly became the best day of my life. My guide, Darma, first took me to Satria Lawak Coffee which is a coffee plantation. As someone who does not drink coffee or tea, the tastings were very delicious, and I ended up buying some gifts to bring home to my family. Then, we drove to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary which while the monkeys were cute, I was so in awe of the flora around us. It was so beautiful - I felt like we were on set of a movie. Darma even bought me a strawberry milkshake before we left. Then we went to the Tegalalang Rice Terrace which was the one thing I HAD to see with coming to Bali. It was so beautiful and green, even though the rice seedlings had just been planted so it was not as green as other times. There, Darma and I walked around the entire terrace, and he once again, bought me sticky rice to try. There, as I was eating the sticky rice, I had an overflow of emotions realizing just how happy I was and how this was the best day ever. The feeling of happiness was so overwhelming that I could not stop the tears that left my eyes. Afterwards, I had the opportunity to have free time in Ubud to go shopping, but I wanted to go straight to the Tegenungan Waterfall instead. I had a great time! However, be aware that if you struggle with stairs, there are a lot of stairs to get down to and up from the waterfall. Then, we went to Puseh Batuan Temple where Darma explained the history, carvings, and statues to me. He was very knowledgeable, and I learned a lot. Then, I could decide between three markets to shop at: wood, jewelry, or clothing. I decided to go to the place that sold clothing, and this part was not very exciting because it was a store where I thought it was a market. However, it was a nice chill way to start ending the day. Then Darma drove me back to where I was staying, and when we parted ways, I started crying again because he was the best guide ever and I had the absolute best day and experience ever. One reason why this experience was so amazing is because I got to meet Darma who made me feel so cared for and safe. He talked to me about his life growing up in Bali, and I told him about my life too. I not only had a great experience exploring Bali with his help, but I also made a friend in Darma. This experience with was more than I could have ever asked for, and I will never forget it.

Komang arrived at the hotel on time and was able to converse in a high level of English. There was a 10 hour journey that took us from Seminyak to Ubud and we were able to visit a number of attractions, such as Monkey forest, Tegalalng, Waterfalls, Water temple , Art shop and a jungle view swing. We have already booked Komang for a ride to the Lempuyang next week.

I hastily organized a tour one day in advance. in Ubud I had the pleasure of experiencing awe-inspiring art and scenery. We were then taken on an informative journey at the Monkey Jungle by our guide, Ketut, who enlightened us about the temple and monkeys. Furthermore, our tour included coffee tasting and a trip to a magnificent waterfall. I must laud our guide, Ketut, for his professionalism and commend him for making the tour so memorable. This tour was simply remarkable, earning a perfect score of 10/10.

The tour was amazing! We got to see everything in ubud and the swing was SO MUCH FUN. Widi was and excellent tour guide and we learned so much about the culture.

What a great way to be active and seeying and experiencing authentic Bali at the same time. Our young enthousiastiac guids picked us up at our resort in Ubud and we drove to our breakfast site after we picked up two other participants. After the breakfast we went to a coffee plantatian and got to taste a lot of different coffee and tea's. We actualy did that at another one the day before. Nevertheless, it was nice. We went on our way up the Kitamani volcano where we reached the startingpoint of our downhill cycling tour. A few raindrops, but luckiliy no havy rains. Passed villages, schoolchildren, ricefields, temples, farmers, all every day live on Bali. We stopped several times. Visited a family home, which turned out to be family of out driver that day. Great way to see how living in a village on Bali is. The sun came out aswell this day which made everything even more beautifull. After a really nice and doable downhill cycling tour we ended having lunch at a familyhouse again. Was lovely. Had a great day and we got brought back to our resort in Ubud again. Thank you guys!
