Ubud and Mt Batur
Wayan is a great driver and company to have in Ubud. He picked us up at the airport and we really enjoyed having him taking us around Ubud. He even invited us to his family compound where we met his father and daughter. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Bali, especially Ubud.

Exceptional custom tour
We truly enjoyed our day trip with Wayan. We chose a custom tour - we ourselves selected the attractions to visit. Wayan contacted me shortly after I made a booking, and we discussed the route, he gave some advice. On the day of the tour he was on time. The car was clean and comfortable. Wayan is very polite and attentive, and a really nice likeable person overall. We enjoyed his stories about local culture, lifestyle, and traditions. He was answering our questions rather than acting as a standard guide, so we were truly engaged and got to learn much more. We really liked that Wayan wasn’t trying to sell anything additional to us, so there were no awkward moments about that. Overall, it’s 10 out of 10, and I highly recommend booking a tour with Wayan.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Bali Custom Tour – Full Day with English-Speaking Driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Private Bali Custom Tour – Full Day with English-Speaking Driver cost?
+
Prices start at Rp 450,000 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 Bali Custom Tour – Full Day with English-Speaking Driver 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 Bali Custom Tour – Full Day with English-Speaking Driver 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 27 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 Private Bali Custom Tour – Full Day with English-Speaking Driver?
+
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 Bali Custom Tour – Full Day with English-Speaking Driver 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 Bali Custom Tour – Full Day with English-Speaking Driver?
+
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 Private Bali Custom Tour – Full Day with English-Speaking Driver 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.
