    Friendly, customizable and informative!

    Kawi (guide) and Putu (driver) were wonderful aiding us in creating and fulfilling our day touring Ubud! Kawi was very knowledgeable offering lots of details about the local culture and history while Putu was a safe driver adjusting his driving as needed for car sickness on the windy roads. I look forward to booking another private tour with them!

    Great tour

    Great tour, nice guide (Desdra). Would definitely recommend. The guide knew when to talk, and when not to. He had a lot of facts.

    Memorable Ubud trip

    We had a wonderful trip around major Ubud landmarks thanks to our guide Mudana. We are extremely satisfied not only by the quality of his explanations, but also because of thanks to his knowledge and his driving, we were able to pack so many things into one day, without even making it too tiresome: - Monkey sanctuary - Ubud Palace - Ubud Market - Crispy Duck lunch - Campuhan Ridge Walk Totally recommended!

    Response from the operator: Dear antoniomc27, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating. We are glad that you enjoyed our tour to see Ubud and its surroundings. Ubud is the center of culture and art in Bali, so this tour is a must for travelers. Especially when you booked through Bali 4U Tours where you had a local expert driver-guide who drive and explain the sites. We really appreciate your time for this review and hope travelers know what to expect after reading your review. Many Thanks, Wayan Eza

    Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide cost?

    +

    Prices start at $19 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 Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide?

    +

    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 Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide?

    +

    Around 1 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide 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 Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide?

    +

    Included: Entry/Admission fees; Pickup & drop-off: Sanur, Ubud, Kuta/Legian, Seminyak, Canggu, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Benoa; English speaking driver/guide; Gas/petrol; and Private air-conditioned vehicle. Not included: Food and drink (available for purchase); and Gratuities (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1694 listed pickup locations in and around Ubud. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Malay and 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 Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide?

    +

    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 Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Explore Ubud with an English Speaking Driver/Guide if the weather is bad?

    +
