Exceptional Service and a Truly Wonderful Experience
We had a very pleasant experience with the young driver, Krishna, who picked us up from our hotel and took us to the Uluwatu Temple , to show us the temple area and for the performance. He was incredibly courteous, polite, smartly dressed and spoke excellent English, which made communication completely effortless.His warm greeting, when we met him at our hotel ,made us feel so welcome in Bali.Not only was he a highly skilled driver, but he was also deeply knowledgeable and acted as a wonderful guide, sharing great insights about Bali , the history of the temples and the culture along the way. Most importantly, he was exceptionally considerate of the fact that we are both over 70 years old. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable, safe, and paced the trip perfectly for us. He also ensured he played good music through the trip. The car too was exceptionally clean and smelt fresh. He helped us settle down for the show, found us the best possible seats for a good view and offered to get us water. Even the couple seated next to us in the amphitheatre commented on his communication skills in English and his courteous behaviour. We highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional guide in Bali! We’ll take back wonderful memories of the people of Bali through this fine interaction with Krishna.
Response from the operator: Krishna’s warm welcome at your hotel set the tone for a truly memorable day—thanks for sharing that detail. His thoughtful pacing and clear insights into Bali’s culture made the temple and Kecak experience feel personal and meaningful. We’re glad you left with such warm memories of the island and Krishna’s care.

Super Disappointing experience with TripGuru Bali
Booked through Klook with confirmed round-trip hotel pickup from the listed Canggu pickup zone. Less than 24 hours before the tour, the operator unilaterally changed the pickup point to a different meetup location requiring approximately 40 extra minutes of travel from my hotel. Due to the last-minute service change, safety concerns, and loss of trust, I cancelled the booking and requested a refund through Klook. The most disappointing part was the communication afterwards. Despite repeatedly informing the company that I had cancelled and would not attend, I continued receiving repeated emails and WhatsApp messages from multiple representatives insisting that I report to the new meeting point and stating I could not cancel. I eventually had to block communications. Travelers should carefully confirm pickup arrangements in advance and be aware that pickup terms may change after booking.
Response from the operator: We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. If you could email us at reservations@thetripguru.com with more information about your tour experience, it would be greatly helpful in our efforts to improve

Skip The Line Tour: Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Fire Dance Tour – Half Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jimbaran.
How much does Skip The Line Tour: Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Fire Dance Tour – Half Day cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jimbaran usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Skip The Line Tour: Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Fire Dance Tour – Half Day take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Jimbaran is not rushed.
Is Skip The Line Tour: Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Fire Dance Tour – Half Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 68 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jimbaran, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Skip The Line Tour: Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Fire Dance Tour – Half Day?
+
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 Skip The Line Tour: Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Fire Dance Tour – Half Day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Skip The Line Tour: Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Fire Dance Tour – Half Day?
+
Around 24 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 Jimbaran 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 Jimbaran and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Skip The Line Tour: Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Fire Dance Tour – Half Day 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 Jimbaran 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 Jimbaran?
+
On Outty we rank every Jimbaran experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Ubud Private and All-Inclusive 1-Day Tour, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking Private All Inclusive, Bali Shore Excursion from Benoa Port – All-Inclusive Private Tour. 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 Jimbaran?
+
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 Jimbaran?
+
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.
What is included in Skip The Line Tour: Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Fire Dance Tour – Half Day?

Included: Entrance fees (Uluwatu Temple IDR 60K, dance performance IDR 150K); Bottled water; English-speaking guide; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Hotel pick-up and drop-off (if option selected). Not included: Meals; and Personal Expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Skip The Line Tour: Uluwatu Temple and Kecak Fire Dance Tour – Half Day include hotel pickup?
