Highlight of our stay in Ubud!
We had such a fantastic time with Gecko exploring Taro village, learning about Hindu culture and village life, then visiting the rice paddies. We also visited the community project which seemed like a really great initiative, creating a shared space for everyone to enjoy, and hopefully for tourists to come and camp there soon! We finished up with a delicious dinner at the local cooking school. Gecko was so friendly and made us feel at ease straight away, and he was really knowledgeable. Felt like we got a behind the scenes look at "real" Bali. Definitely recommend this tour if you're interested in culture or want to see something a bit different! Suksema Gecko & team!

Great tour
We book our tour as Baru was recommended to us and glad we did. Ee had a great time seeing all the sights scenery and culture of Bali. We booked the tour for two days and traveled all around the island. Baru speaks very good english explained everything to us and the tour was designed foŕ us personally if there was something we wanted to see or not it was added or taken from the trip. Nothing was any trouble he even took pictures for us with his professional camera and sent them to us,we got good recomendations for anything we wanted to do in the evening after our tour. Cannot recommend this tour guide more. Great trip.

My sister and I were the only two on...
<p>My sister and I were the only two on this tour the tour guide, Jerry, stated that it was low season. Jerry was a great guide and provided us with many detailed responses to our questions regarding the Balinese culture. He even provided us insight on the practices and culture within different areas of the island that we passed through.</p> <p>We are rating this tour three stars because of the multiple taxing and fees that we had to pay in addition to the tour itself please note that the fees is nothing compared to the experience, but there were A LOT of fees and we felt that it should have been highlighted in the tour description itself. For example, to look at the Kintamani Volcano from several miles away, we had to pay an entrance fee per person since we stopped at the pay station. For those who did not stop at the pay station, they were not bothered it might have been locals.</p> <p>The Tegenungan Waterfall was thunderous and exuded majestic views, but it was packed with people and unfortunately, the base of the waterfall was severely trashed. There were plastic debris and trash e.g., cigarettes, decomposing foods, etc. floating in the water and on land left by humans. To get closer to the waterfall, you could take a short 'paved' hike with a small entrance fee.</p> <p>The Tegallalang Rice Terrace was the best part of this tour. The pictures do not do it justice. Again, there were multiple entrance fees to get to the top of the rice terrace. There were two trails: right and left. On one of the trails, there were two separate entrance fees to get further to the top. In addition, workers in the rice field requested money when we took pictures of them it was really uncomfortable when they demanded more money if they were not happy with your donation. In addition, there was no way of getting around paying as we noticed first hand that the workers blocked tourists from leaving until they paid... </p> <p>Last, this is a 7.5 hour tour, so lunch needs to be had unless you bring your own. You get dropped off at a place where a Western-style buffet is served. It's approximately 10USD per person that is really overpriced in Bali, so we opted out and asked our driver to take us some place authentic. Jerry took us to a market with absolutely no tourists where we watched the chef cook our fish and make us fresh juice. We dipped our hands in water with lime and washed our hands to prepare for our delicious utensil-free meal. It was the most authentic meal during our entire travel!</p> <p>Overall, the tour was good, but not great. We kind of felt cheated.... But we do recommend visiting the rice fields and the waterfall if you get the chance!</p>
Response from the operator: <p>TOUR OPERATOR FEEDBACK: Thank you so much for your kind review. I would like to answer and explain clearly about he tour program you booked with us. Regarding the details and price stated, we always encourage our guests to read our inclusions and exclusions prior to booking to ensure you can be prepared for any additional fees. There are options when booking, some of which do not include entry fees or meals, as you experienced.</p> <p>Unfortunately, Tegenungan Waterfall has been used for irrigation for lot of villages along the river from high North of Bali all the way to the South area of the island. As such, the water's clarity and cleanliness can vary depending on season and time of day visited, due to local usage and rainfall that caries away debris.</p> <p>Thank you so much have been using our service. We hope you will consider visiting again at a different time of the year. Best regards, Wayan</p>

<p>Our tour guide was Made and he gave us a great private tour through the villages and towns of Bali. We visited an ancient temple, saw a Balinese cultural show and enjoyed a wonderful lunch at a mountaintop restaurant. From the restaurant we had a spectacular view of a volcano and the nearby valleys. this tour is definitely one not to be missed!</p>

Loved the tour. Made was very...
<p>Loved the tour. Made was very informative and really made the experience. Over and above this tour, we stopped at a traditional Balinese House which was very interesting and opened out eyes to how simple the Balinese really live. This tour certainly covered the Cultural aspect of Bali and the scenery was amazing. I would highly recommend the tour.</p>

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Balinese Culture and Scenery (visit ubud area): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Private Tour: Balinese Culture and Scenery (visit ubud area) cost?
+
Prices start at $800000 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: Balinese Culture and Scenery (visit ubud area) 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: Balinese Culture and Scenery (visit ubud area) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 6 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: Balinese Culture and Scenery (visit ubud area)?
+
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: Balinese Culture and Scenery (visit ubud area) 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: Balinese Culture and Scenery (visit ubud area)?
+
Around 2 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: Balinese Culture and Scenery (visit ubud area) 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, Best of Ubud Full-Day Tour with Jungle Swing, Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali. 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.
