The best way to discover the real Bali
From the very first contact, Gede was attentive and solution-oriented, even when I mentioned I was traveling solo, he immediately found a way to make it work and tailor the experience just for me. We spent two full days exploring Bali by scooter, and the itinerary was built around a real conversation about what I wanted to experience. Gede listened carefully and delivered beyond expectations: temples, waterfalls, historical landmarks, traditional villages, rice fields: all carefully chosen to give me an authentic experience of Bali without the tourist crowds. That alone is something most guides fail to achieve, and he nailed it. He was punctual every single day, communicated clearly throughout, and was flexible whenever the day called for it. But what truly sets Gede apart is his depth of knowledge. He was born and raised in Bali, and it shows because he knows this island inside out. Through our conversations, I learned so much about Balinese history, culture, and the way the past continues to shape life on the island today. Talking with him felt like having a local friend, not a tour guide. On top of all that, Gede is a talented filmmaker. He captured stunning footage and photos of my journey, the kind of content you actually want to keep and share. If you're looking for hidden gems, a personalized itinerary, and a guide who is both professional and genuinely great company, book Gede. You won't regret it!

A beautiful birthday treat
Just FYI I went on their spa and temple package. It was beautiful as Gede, the owner of AWAY Wanderlust, made sure that I'll enjoy this birthday treat for myself. I got a birthday cake after my massage and herbal bath. The tour guide, Mega, then brought me to the Tirta Empul temple and was guided on how to do the traditional purification ritual. Mega also took lots of photos , allowing me to document my special day. But my favorite is a sidetrip to a community owned coffee farm which is just near the temple. I love te coffee and tea tasting and getting to know more about Bali agriculture. That's an eye opener for me as I visited Bali many times but I always associate it with tourism or wellness. It didn't occur to me that the island still has a thriving farm sector.

Wonderful local hospitality and insights
You cannot ask for more wonderful guides than brothers, Gede and Kadek. They showed me around 'real' Bali, including the local culture, food and the best vantage spots away from the crowds. They share a wealth of knowledge about their country, region and customs, and no request was ever too much. When I got sick on my last couple of days, Gede and Kadek looked after me like family and gave me traditional Balinese remedies that soon had me back on my feet. Gede is also a talented videographer and captured beautiful memories of my trip that I will treasure for years to come. Kind, funny, generous, knowledgeable ... the list goes on. Thank you AWay Discovery for an amazing time.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $189 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.
Is AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ubud?
+
On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ubud?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ubud?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour?
+
Included: Cooking Class Activity; Traditinal Coffee Plantation & Tasting; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Staff Gratuities; and Additional Pick Up/Drop Off Charge for out of service area. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 544 listed pickup locations in and around Ubud. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to AWay From Home - Bali Village Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Ubud. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
