Amazing day experiencing Bali
This tour had something for everyone! It was my husband’s birthday and we wanted to do something that interest our children and also us and this tour had it all. Our driver and tour guide Vito was amazing, he has great knowledge of Bali and all the places we visited and not only that Vito was very patient and involved the kids making their day. We can’t fault the day and highly recommend this tour. A great experience and a day we will never forget. One thing to consider is there are many stairs & children that are small or under 6 years old will struggle getting up and down.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review 😊🎉 We’re so happy to hear the tour became such a special part of your husband’s birthday celebration and that the whole family enjoyed the experience together. It means a lot to know there was something for everyone, especially for the kids as well 🙏 Vito will be very happy to hear your kind words. He always loves sharing his knowledge about Bali and making sure every guest, including the little ones, feels involved and has fun throughout the day 😊 Thank you as well for sharing the helpful note about the stairs. We truly appreciate it and it will definitely help future guests prepare better for the experience. Thank you again for choosing us for such a special occasion, and we hope to welcome your family back again someday in Bali!

Our driver was mangle and he was very friendly and knowledgeable of the areas we went too! He’s also very accommodating
Our driver was Mangle for this tour and he was very accommodating as well as friendly. He knows the area you’ll go too really in depth and will explain questions to you if you have them! He even showed us a good spot for lunch which is Babi guling which we would have never found this spot if he had not showed us! Would recommend to do this tour as overall it’s worth your money if you want a guide and transportation included in it!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review 😊🙏 We’re very happy to hear you had such a great experience with Mangle! He will be so happy to know you enjoyed his company, local knowledge, and recommendations throughout the tour ✨ It’s great to hear you also enjoyed trying Babi Guling at a local spot you may not have discovered otherwise 😄 Experiences like that are what make exploring Bali even more special. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing us during your Bali trip. We’re glad you felt the tour was worth it and enjoyed having both a guide and transportation included. Hope to see you again someday! 🚗🌴

the perfect end to a wonderful holiday
The perfect end to our Indonesia tour! We thoroughly enjoyed this day trip on our last day of vacation. Our driver and tour guide, Vito, was fantastic. He specifically changed the order of the stops to avoid the "mass tourism". This allowed us to enjoy the monkeys completely undisturbed. We also learned a lot about the culture, religion, and folklore. Unlike other guides who chew your ear off, Vito knew when to let it all go and when we needed some privacy. He also had the best Spotify playlist in the car, perfect for relaxing between stops. Thanks again, Vito. We'll get in touch with you when we're back in the country.
Response from the operator: Hi Sebastian Thank you for your wonderful review . We are thrilled to hear you had such a enjoyable experience and that our guide mr vito made the tour special with his hospitality and knowledge. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for more memorable experience in Bali

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour : Bali Best Waterfalls, Temples and Monkey Forest: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Private Tour : Bali Best Waterfalls, Temples and Monkey Forest cost?
+
Prices start at $43 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 Tour : Bali Best Waterfalls, Temples and Monkey Forest 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 Tour : Bali Best Waterfalls, Temples and Monkey Forest worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 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 Tour : Bali Best Waterfalls, Temples and Monkey Forest?
+
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 Tour : Bali Best Waterfalls, Temples and Monkey Forest 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 Tour : Bali Best Waterfalls, Temples and Monkey Forest?
+
Around 6 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 Tour : Bali Best Waterfalls, Temples and Monkey Forest 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.
