Favourite Tour to date!
Wowee! One of our favourite tours to date. Our guide Oka was amazing with the kids and super flexible with our itinerary to make sure we got to see everything we wanted but also catered to our very young kiddos interests (they’re 2, 4 & 6). We had the best day! Highly recommend!

Wonderful daytrip
Sudi and Krishna picked us up at the hotel as agreed upon. Sudi were very informative about the Hinduisme, temples, offerings etc. Also the art villages, the monkeyforest, rice terrasses, Luwak garden could he tell us a lot about. He could reply to all our questions and both he and Krishna were very polite and openminded. We highly recommend Sudi and Krishna.

Ubud Highlights Tour - Best Experience
We had a wonderful time, full of amazing facts about Bali and its culture. We also got to see lots of beautiful places like the Monkey Sanctuary, a waterfall and also some spectacular Temples. We also got to learn about Batik Handcrafting Process and Silver Jewlery Making, and ended the day with coffee tasting and a visit to the rice terraces. All in all, we had the best time thanks to our tour guide Kawi Nyoman, who made this tour feel much more special.

Great tour and driver
Krisna was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly and hospitable. He struck the perfect balance of being tour guide and driver, whilst at a few stops letting us wander and do our own thing. Thank you!

The kindest guide with an incredible itinerary!
We spent the day with our wonderful tour guide, Rio. He was the kindest person we have met in Bali. He took us to the most incredible locations, taking the time to explain the history, culture and traditions to us. Our conversations with Rio in his car were wonderful and we feel he was like a friend to us. We felt safe in his company, he took lovely photos of us and he made our day exploring Bali the highlight of our holiday. Thank you Rio, you are an incredibly kind person and we wish you and your family all the best. We will see you again when we return!

Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $27 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 Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights 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 Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 96 out of 100, which we label "Peak Performance". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5,523 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights 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 Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights 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 Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour?
+
Around 1,933 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 Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights 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, Mount Batur Sunrise Tour, 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.
