Ubud
André was fantastic! Highly recommand!
via Tripadvisor
An Exceptional Guide and Truly Wonderful Person
Andre is one of the most wonderful people my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of meeting during our holiday. He is incredibly caring, funny, and above all, genuinely kind and sincere. We really enjoyed having him as our guide on several occasions and exploring so many beautiful places with him during our two-week holiday. If we ever come back with our children, Andre will be the very first person I contact to guide us again. We can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, caring, and truly fantastic guide!

A wonderful day
We were out and about with André for a day. It was really very nice and very relaxed. André explained a lot and we spent a wonderful day entirely at our own pace and completely individually. We can 100% recommend the tours.

Wonderful Experience in Bali
I spent 3 wonderful days in Ubud and another 3 days in Seminyak, and I’m truly grateful to have had Dewa Andre with me for most of my travels around Bali. He has been incredibly professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful throughout the journey. His knowledge of Bali made exploring the island so much more enjoyable and stress-free. I’ll definitely be contacting Dewa again on my next visit to Bali. Highly recommended! Thank you, Dewa, for making my Bali trip even more memorable! 🙏🌴

Best highlight of my visit to Bali
Andre was definitely one of the highlights of my stay in Bali, and of my travels overall! We visited incredible places, and he shared fascinating stories about Balinese culture, rituals, and traditions. We also had great conversations about music, modern life, and the contrasts between our cultures, which is something truly unique. And most importantly, he made me feel home - which is something you appreciate when travelling alone. Andre is kind, smart, and SO funny. I can’t wait to come back to Bali and keep on exploring the island with him.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Bali Ubud Highlights Tour: Culture, Nature & Hidden Gems: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.
How much does Private Bali Ubud Highlights Tour: Culture, Nature & Hidden Gems cost?
+
Prices start at $28 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seminyak 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 Ubud Highlights Tour: Culture, Nature & Hidden Gems 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 Seminyak is not rushed.
Is Private Bali Ubud Highlights Tour: Culture, Nature & Hidden Gems worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seminyak, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Bali Ubud Highlights Tour: Culture, Nature & Hidden Gems?
+
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 Ubud Highlights Tour: Culture, Nature & Hidden Gems 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 Private Bali Ubud Highlights Tour: Culture, Nature & Hidden Gems?
+
Around 5 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 Seminyak 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 Seminyak and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Bali Ubud Highlights Tour: Culture, Nature & Hidden Gems 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 Seminyak 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 Seminyak?
+
On Outty we rank every Seminyak experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Experts Bali Driver : Best Bali Private Driver for Tour in Bali, West Bali Tour: Taman Ayun, Ulun Danu Beratan, Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, Tanah Lot, Ubud Top Attractions: Waterfalls, Temples and Rice Terraces. 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 Seminyak?
+
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 Seminyak?
+
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.
