An Unforgettable Birthday in Bali – Ask for Vito!
An unforgettable birthday in Bali – ask for Vito! We booked this tour for my birthday, and it turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of our time in Bali — largely thanks to our incredible guide, Vito. From the moment he picked us up, Vito was warm, funny and so easy to talk to. By the end of the day, it honestly felt less like we had spent the day with a tour guide and more like we had been shown around Bali by a friend. We visited Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Wanagiri Hidden Hill, the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces and Batukaru Temple, and every stop was beautiful in its own way. But what really made the day special was everything Vito added in between. His knowledge of Balinese culture and history was fantastic, but it never felt like he was simply reciting information from a tour script. He shared stories about everyday life in Bali, his childhood, his family, traditions and cultural family beliefs, which gave us a much deeper understanding of Bali and the people who live here. We asked him so many questions throughout the day, and he was always happy to answer them and explain the meaning and history behind what we were seeing. Vito also knew it was my birthday and made the whole day feel special without making a big fuss about it. He gave us plenty of time to enjoy each location, took some fantastic photos of us, knew exactly where to get the best shots, and made sure we never felt rushed. And a special mention has to go to his driving — Bali traffic is absolute chaos 😂, but we felt completely safe and relaxed with Vito behind the wheel. He is an expert! The scenery on this tour is incredible, particularly Jatiluwih, but what we'll remember most is the experience Vito gave us. We didn't just see some beautiful parts of Bali; we came away feeling like we'd learned something about the island, its culture and everyday Balinese life as well. If you're considering booking this tour, do it — and if you can, ask for Vito. He genuinely made my birthday one I'll remember for a very long time. Thank you, Vito, for such an unforgettable day and for sharing your Bali with us. 🇮🇩❤️** ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Response from the operator: Hi Casey Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review. Reading how Vito helped make your birthday such a memorable part of your Bali journey truly means a lot to us. It’s wonderful to know that the day became more than simply visiting beautiful places. The opportunity to share stories about Balinese culture, family, traditions, and everyday life is something we value deeply, and we’re so happy that Vito’s personal stories helped you connect with Bali on a deeper level. We’re especially touched that you felt comfortable enough to spend the day with him as though you were exploring with a friend. From finding the best photo spots and giving you time to enjoy each destination, to making sure you felt safe on Bali’s famously unpredictable roads 😂, it sounds like Vito truly took care of every detail. And of course, knowing it was your birthday makes it even more special to hear that the day became a lasting memory. We’ll definitely share your beautiful words with Vito—he’ll be incredibly proud and touched to know how much the experience meant to you. Thank you for trusting us with such a special day and for recommending Vito so warmly. We hope the memories from that birthday stay with you for many years, and we’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back to Bali someday

Great tour, Best Guide Ever!!
This Tour of the rice patties, temples, and waterfalls, and coffee roasters was wonderful. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, and bring water. But as is true on so many tours, the guide makes all the difference. Our guide was Merta. He was absolutely wonderful. He took care of us, made sure we ate at a good place, handled the traffic like a pro, and at the end of the day, made sure all of our connections were successful. His vehicle was clean and comfortable. We have taken many tours, andI cannot praise this Guide higher. Take this tour? Yes. Ask for Merta? Absolutely!!
Response from the operator: Hi Gary Thank you so much for such a wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring Bali’s rice terraces, temples, waterfalls, and coffee traditions. We completely agree that a great guide can make all the difference, and it means a lot to know that Merta took such good care of you throughout the day. From choosing a good place to eat and navigating the traffic, to making sure your onward connections went smoothly, we’re glad you felt looked after from beginning to end. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Merta. Knowing that, after taking many tours, you would recommend him so highly is a wonderful compliment. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to have the pleasure of showing you more of Bali on your next visit.

Both Wayan and his son...
Both Wayan and his son Wayan Jr were very friendly, great drivers and answered all the questions we had. We went to a coffee and tea sampling, Ubud market, the Elephant Cave, Tegalalang Rice Terrace and Tegenungan Waterfall. I was able to customize our itinerary. Personally I would recommend skipping the Rice Terraces. I thought we would learn about rice and how it is grown but it is just really an “instagram” spot for pictures on an elaborate swing.
Response from the operator: Hi jennifer Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for taking the time to give such honest feedback. We’re glad to hear that both Wayan and Wayan Jr made you feel comfortable, answered your questions, and gave you the flexibility to customize your day. It’s great to know you enjoyed the coffee and tea tasting, Ubud Market, Elephant Cave, and Tegenungan Waterfall. We also appreciate your honest thoughts about the Tegalalang Rice Terrace. Experiences can certainly vary depending on what each guest is hoping to see, and your feedback is helpful for us when recommending the right stops to future travelers. We’re happy that having a flexible itinerary allowed you to shape the day around your interests. Thank you again for choosing us and for recommending Wayan and Wayan Jr. We hope to have the opportunity to show you some different sides of Bali on your next visit!

It’s wonderful to know that their stories, local knowledge, and sense of humor made each stop even more interesting. We also really appreciate your helpful note about the number of stairs. This is important information for future guests, especially those using wheelchairs or walking aids, and we’ll make sure to highlight it clearly. We’ll definitely share your kind words with Wayan and his uncle. Thank you for spending the day with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Bali again in the future!

Such a wonderful fun filled day
Wayan and his uncle entertained us for the whole entire day. My friend and I enjoyed every stop besides the amount of steps which was not totally suitable for my injured knee, but we made the most of every site we went to. I would totally recommend this tour company again. Thank you for the laughs and explaining to us the culture of Bali. Kim & Kylie
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Kim & Kylie, for sharing such a lovely review! We’re so happy to hear that Wayan and his uncle kept you entertained throughout the day and that you enjoyed discovering each stop along the way. We’re sorry that some of the stairs were challenging with your injured knee, but we really appreciate you making the most of the day and enjoying the experiences despite the extra effort. Your feedback is also very helpful for future guests who may need to consider the walking involved. It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed learning about Balinese culture while sharing plenty of laughs along the way. We’ll definitely pass your kind words on to Wayan and his uncle—they’ll be delighted to know they helped make your day so memorable. Thank you again for recommending us. It was a pleasure having you both with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Bali for another adventure someday!

Best of Bali : Bali Temples , Rice Terrace and Waterfall Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Best of Bali : Bali Temples , Rice Terrace and Waterfall Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $44 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 Best of Bali : Bali Temples , Rice Terrace and Waterfall Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Best of Bali : Bali Temples , Rice Terrace and Waterfall Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 39 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 Best of Bali : Bali Temples , Rice Terrace and Waterfall 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 Best of Bali : Bali Temples , Rice Terrace and Waterfall Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Best of Bali : Bali Temples , Rice Terrace and Waterfall Tour?
+
Around 14 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best of Bali : Bali Temples , Rice Terrace and Waterfall 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.
