    Great driver

    Dendek was an amazing driver. He took us to as many places as he could during our layover in Bali. Don’t trust google for driving times and distance between places because Bali is busy!

    Response from the operator: Dear Tanja, Thank you very much for sharing your kind words about your experience with Dendek. We are delighted to know that he made the most of your layover in Bali by guiding you to so many wonderful places. You are absolutely right — Bali’s roads can be busy, and having a knowledgeable local driver makes all the difference. We truly appreciate your recognition of Dendek’s efforts and your recommendation of our service. Your feedback motivates us to continue providing smooth, flexible, and memorable tours for our guests. We hope to welcome you back again for a longer stay, so you can explore even more of Bali’s hidden treasures with us. Warm regards, Gusti East Bali Tour Team

    Hiring a private driver - best way to see Bali

    We were so lucky to have Guna as our driver. We arrived on a very heavy rainy day. He helped us create the best plan to visit sites in UBUD and SANUR. He was very accommodating and caring for our needs. He represented the beautiful character of the Balinese people. A true ambassador. Thank you Guna for making our day memorable!

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your kind words about your Bali tour with Guna. We’re delighted to hear that his punctuality, care, and thoughtful planning helped you enjoy Ubud and Sanur even on a rainy day. Your description of him as a true ambassador of Balinese hospitality means so much, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments. We look forward to welcoming you again for another memorable journey in Bali! Warm regards, East Bali Tour Team

    Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.

    How much does Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $65 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 Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 49 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 Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom 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 Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom Tour?

    +

    Around 17 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom 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 Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom Tour?

    +

    Included: Private air-conditioned vehicle & English-speaking driver; Direct cruise port pickup & drop-off; Port parking, tolls, fuel, and bottled water; and Guaranteed on-time return to your cruise ship. Not included: Attraction entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 907 listed pickup locations in and around Ubud. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom 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 Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom 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 Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Bali Cruise Shore Excursion: Private Custom Tour?

    +

    Across 49 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, food and drink. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
