Thoroughly recommend Batu as a driver and guide
An absolute highlight of our Bali trip – thank you, Batu! We were put in touch with Batu through friends, and we are so glad we were! He and his sister were our guides for excursions around Ubud and Uluwatu, and both of them were absolutely brilliant. From the very beginning, the experience was seamless. The car was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Batu and his sister are incredibly knowledgeable about the local culture and history, which added so much value to everything we saw. They perfectly matched what we were looking for and completely exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for top-tier tour guides for your family trip to Bali, we cannot recommend Batu and his sister highly enough!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your heartwarming review! We are truly honored to hear that our tour was an absolute highlight of your trip to Bali. Batur and his sister are delighted to know that you enjoyed your excursions around Ubud and Uluwatu, as well as the local culture, history, and comfortable ride. Exceeding your expectations and making your family trip memorable means the world to us. We would love to welcome you and your family back to Bali anytime. Safe travels and see you again soon!

Wonderful tour experience with Debatur
Wonderful experience with our private, guided tour with Debatur, who also did all the driving, safely, of course! We went to the places listed and squeezed in a photo opportunity w/the swing and went to the Satria coffee plantation (next door) for a quick, informative visit which included a sampling of a variety of coffees / teas. Overall, we really enjoyed our first tour in Bali with Debatur who was very thoughtful, kind, positive and always willing to take our photos!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting and driving you around Bali for your very first tour here. I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary, from the beautiful waterfall and rice terraces to the fun photo stop at the swing and the coffee tasting at Satria. Capturing those special memories and photos for you was my absolute pleasure! Wishing you all the best, and I hope to welcome you back to Bali for more amazing journeys in the future!

Best Time in Bali was with Debatur
Debatur was very helpful to us. We spent two days with him and his cousin. Calm, Patient, truthful and communicative. My wife and I had lot of fun during the time spend with them. I will recommend and book again 💯 if we go back to Bali. The fee is so affordable that we happily tip more than the fee itself. Some venue we visited were crowded but she did all she could for us to do all the activities. Solo, Couple or family I am sure they can assist with the tour.
Response from the operator: Thanks to you, we hope both of you are enjoy your vacation in Bali, and thank youbso much for your review

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Best Ubud Private Tour : Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces & Waterfall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Best Ubud Private Tour : Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces & Waterfall cost?
+
Prices start at $53 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 Ubud Private Tour : Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces & Waterfall take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Ubud Private Tour : Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces & Waterfall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 77 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 Ubud Private Tour : Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces & Waterfall?
+
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 Ubud Private Tour : Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces & Waterfall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Best Ubud Private Tour : Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces & Waterfall?
+
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 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best Ubud Private Tour : Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces & Waterfall 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 Best Ubud Private Tour : Monkey Forest, Rice Terraces & Waterfall?
