    Amazing authentic experience, food, and hosts!

    We had the most amazing time! Kadek and his wife Ketuk are so friendly, kind, and enjoyable to talk to. They taught us so much not just about Balinese cooking, but the culture and traditions as well. The food was delicious too - we made so many amazing dishes. Their home has beautiful rice fields behind as well. If you’re looking for an authentic experience with real Balinese people, this is for you!

    Honeymoon Cooking

    This was a wonderful addition to our honeymoon in Ubud. Kadek picked us up from our hotel for a nice evening market visit, followed by a delicious meal (prepared by us with tons of help from his wife Katut). They were so kind to welcome us into their lovely home and we had a great night of food and conversation. Would absolutely recommend!

    Unique and authentic private cooking experience

    We were welcomed into the home of Kadek and his family for a unique and authentic private cooking experience. A really super day which gave us an insight into the culture and cuisine of Bali as well as enjoying some delicious dishes. Our hosts were delightful, very knowledgeable and hospitable, thank you!

    A day of wonderful food and hospitality

    What an amazing day! We spent seven hours with two of the most welcoming and lovely people. The gem of this visit was how culturally immersive the experience was. Not only did we learn about the culinary life of a Balinese family, but we learned so much about the culture as well. My husband is not much of a foodie but he enjoyed it as much as I did. The food was incredibly flavorful and we had such a lovely time chatting with Kadek and Putu. If you're on the fence about booking, don't hesitate. You won't regret having this experience.

    Gianyar Market Visit & Cooking Class in Ubud with Kadek & Putu: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Gianyar Market Visit & Cooking Class in Ubud with Kadek & Putu cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 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 Gianyar Market Visit & Cooking Class in Ubud with Kadek & Putu take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Gianyar Market Visit & Cooking Class in Ubud with Kadek & Putu worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Gianyar Market Visit & Cooking Class in Ubud with Kadek & Putu?

    +

    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 Gianyar Market Visit & Cooking Class in Ubud with Kadek & Putu suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Gianyar Market Visit & Cooking Class in Ubud with Kadek & Putu?

    +

    Around 4 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Gianyar Market Visit & Cooking Class in Ubud with Kadek & Putu 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 Gianyar Market Visit & Cooking Class in Ubud with Kadek & Putu?

    +

    Included: Homecooked Balinese meal; Alcoholic beverages; Pick up and drop off to Ubud hotels only; and Private market tour, cooking class with your host Kadek and Putu. Not included: Pick up and drop off to hotels outside Ubud. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
