An unforgettable day with an amazing local guide!

We found Dewa through a recommendation from friends, and choosing him was one of the best decisions we made during our trip to Bali. From the moment he picked us up, he made us feel welcome. He was friendly, punctual, professional, and drove a clean and comfortable car. Throughout the day, Dewa shared fascinating stories about Balinese culture, traditions, and the places we visited, which made the experience so much more meaningful. We visited beautiful rice terraces, stunning waterfalls, and several breathtaking spots. Dewa never rushed us, gave us plenty of time to enjoy each location, and even took wonderful photos for us, so we could simply relax and enjoy the day. What impressed us most was his genuine kindness and passion. He truly cared about making sure we had the best possible experience, and thanks to him, our tour became one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend Dewa to anyone visiting Bali who is looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind guide. Thank you, Dewa, for an unforgettable day. We would happily book another tour with you anytime.

Response from the operator: Dear ahmedaX3086FH Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt review! 🙏💙 It truly means a lot to me. I’m very happy that you enjoyed exploring Bali, learning about our culture and traditions, and visiting the beautiful rice terraces and waterfalls. It was a pleasure spending the day with you, and I’m glad I could help make your Bali trip even more memorable. 😊🌴📸 Thank you again for trusting me based on your friends’ recommendation. I really appreciate your support and recommendation, and I would be delighted to welcome you back to Bali and take you on another unforgettable journey someday! 🙏✨ Warmest regards, Dewa

Don’t go chasing waterfalls…get De Putro to take you there!

De Putro took us to all the best places around Ubud! We had an incredible time and De Putro was awesome - punctual, professional and fun. He took some brilliant photos for us as well as giving us some great insights of Balinese culture. We had a fantastic day!

Best Tour Ever - I really Enjoyed it

I took the all-inclusive private Ubud tour, which included temples, rice terraces, waterfalls, the Monkey Forest, and a nice lunch in a beautiful local restaurant. I absolutely loved it, it was a truly memorable experience. I was surprised by the Monkey Forest. I expected just to see monkeys, but it turned out to be an amazing park with lush nature and a beautiful temple. The rice fields were stunningly green, and I was able to take some really beautiful photos. At the waterfall, I could even enjoy a refreshing dip. It was a hot day, so I really appreciated it. The driver had everything ready for me, including towels, since I hadn’t brought one. We stopped at a gorgeous restaurant with a view that looked almost too perfect to be real, like something straight out of Photoshop. The food was excellent, and I had the chance to try traditional Indonesian dishes. The car was very comfortable, and the driver was extremely nice, he drove very safely. He was knowledgeable and spoke good English. Since I was traveling solo, he also took some great photos of me, which I really appreciated. It was a fantastic tour and a memorable day. I highly recommend it!

Response from the operator: Dear christinerin66 Thank you so much for your kind review and for sharing your experience with us! 🌿 We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your day with Made and that he made your tour memorable. Your feedback about the itinerary is truly appreciated — we always aim to make our tours flexible and tailored to each guest’s wishes. We’re glad you enjoyed the Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces, and temple, and we take note of your suggestion regarding the waterfall. Hopefully we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Bali for another adventure soon! 🌺 Best Regards Kadek

Best of Bali – Culture, Nature & Temple Tour: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Best of Bali – Culture, Nature & Temple Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $50 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 – Culture, Nature & Temple 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 Best of Bali – Culture, Nature & Temple 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 26 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 – Culture, Nature & Temple 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 – Culture, Nature & Temple 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 Best of Bali – Culture, Nature & Temple Tour?

+

Around 9 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 Best of Bali – Culture, Nature & Temple 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 Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Best of Ubud Full-Day Tour with Jungle Swing, Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali. 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.
