Best Ubud Tour with Mr. Yansen
I booked an 8-hour private tour for my family to go around Ubud area. We were blessed to have Mr. Yansen to show us around. He is really supportive, knowledgeable about Bali area, attentive, considerate and super friendly with us. He is on time, supportive for us to take picture for our family as well. He helped us to make the itinerary reasonable and pleasant to follow without any hassle. He also very flexible as well, especially when we need more time to see the Ubud central area. During the tour, we forgot to visit a temple so he helped us to go to another one on our way to the waterfall, less crowded and had a supportive tour guide there for showing us around. My family and I highly recommend people to book the trip with Mr. Yansen, we couldn’t express our satisfaction enough!
Response from the operator: Dear 869ng_nn Thank you so much for your wonderful and heartfelt review! 🙏 It was truly a pleasure for Mr. Yansen to spend the day with you and your family.

Flexible and personalized tour experience.
We had such a great experience on our customized tour in Bali\! One of the best parts was being able to fully personalize the itinerary, which made it perfect for our group of friends. Our driver was incredibly courteous, friendly, and accommodating throughout the day. He even took us to a few bonus spots that weren’t originally on our itinerary, which made the experience even more special.

Bali Highlights Customizable Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.
How much does Bali Highlights Customizable Private Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seminyak usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bali Highlights Customizable Private Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Seminyak is not rushed.
Is Bali Highlights Customizable Private Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 78 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seminyak, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bali Highlights Customizable Private Day 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 Highlights Customizable Private Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bali Highlights Customizable Private Day Tour?
+
Around 27 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 Seminyak 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 Seminyak and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bali Highlights Customizable Private Day 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 Seminyak 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 Seminyak?
+
On Outty we rank every Seminyak experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bali Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Lunch and Transport All Inclusive, Experts Bali Driver : Best Bali Private Driver for Tour in Bali, West Bali Tour: Taman Ayun, Ulun Danu Beratan, Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, Tanah Lot. 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 Seminyak?
+
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 Seminyak?
+
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 Highlights Customizable Private Day Tour?
+
Included: English speaking driver; Air Conditioner Car; Mineral water; 10 hours option: only covers the area Ubud, Gianyar, Badung, Tabanan, Bangli, Karangasem; and 8 hour only cover area: Ubud, Gianyar, Denpasar, Bdung, Bangli. Not included: Lunch; and Enterance Fee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Bali Highlights Customizable Private Day Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1874 listed pickup locations in and around Seminyak. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Bali Highlights Customizable Private Day Tour offered in?
+

+
