What didn't we see today?;
Highly recommend this tour. We LOVED it. The Ubud monkey forest was beautiful, and interactive. So many gorgeous monkeys and a beautiful forest. The rice terrace was spectacular with many photo opportunities, as was the waterfall. The temple was breath-taking, and we were lucky enough to be there to observe an anniversary ceremony - what a privilege. Lunch was delicious local cuisine with a stunning view. The day could not have been any better. Huge thank you to Ketut , our driver for the day - what an absolute star. Incredibly knowledgeable, and a lovely, lovely person. He made us comfortable throughout and even added an extra stop at the Luwak coffee plantation. We cannot thank Ketut enough. If you're in Bali - you have to do this tour! Thank you so much Ketut - you made our anniversary a day to remember!

Ketut is the best!
We haven’t even finished our tour yet, and I already knew I had to leave Ketut a review. That should tell you everything. Ketut has been absolutely amazing from the beginning. He’s friendly, professional, patient, and genuinely makes you feel comfortable while exploring Bali. He knows the area extremely well, explains the culture and places we visit, and makes sure we’re enjoying ourselves instead of just rushing us from one stop to the next. What really stands out is how personable he is. It doesn’t feel like we’re just customers being driven around on a scheduled tour. It feels like we’re exploring Bali with someone who genuinely wants us to have a great experience. He’s been helpful with everything, made us laugh, and has gone above and beyond to make our time here memorable. My wife and I have traveled to several countries, so we’ve had plenty of tour guides and drivers over the years. Ketut is easily one of the most memorable we’ve had.

An Amazing Bali Tour with Ketut Wenda
Ketut Wenda was a wonderful tour guide! He has a lot of knowledge about Bali’s history and culture and explained everything to us in great detail. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire tour, even helping us take photos and making sure we had a great experience. He is very friendly, speaks English very well, and was always happy to answer our questions. We really enjoyed having him as our guide. I highly recommend booking a tour with Ketut Wenda, you definitely won’t regret it! 😊

Best Private Driver experience!
We couldn't have asked for a better driver and guide than Ketut! Booking a private day tour with him was worth every penny. Ketut brought every location to life, sharing rich history and cultural context about the temples that gave us a genuine appreciation for Balinese culture. What really sets Ketut apart, though, is his incredible hospitality. From start to finish, he took care of everything—arranging tickets, setting us up with temple sarongs, and taking beautiful photos of us at every stop. He made us feel completely looked after all day long. If you're looking for an exceptional tour, do yourself a favor and book with Ketut!

Ubud Highlights: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Tirta Empul Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.
How much does Ubud Highlights: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Tirta Empul Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Ubud Highlights: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Tirta Empul Temple 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 Seminyak is not rushed.
Is Ubud Highlights: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Tirta Empul Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 449 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Seminyak, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ubud Highlights: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Tirta Empul Temple?
+
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 Ubud Highlights: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Tirta Empul Temple 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 Ubud Highlights: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Tirta Empul Temple?
+
Around 157 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ubud Highlights: Monkey Forest, Rice Terrace, Tirta Empul Temple 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 Bali Blue Lagoon Snorkeling - Lunch and Transport All Inclusive, Experts Bali Driver : Best Bali Private Driver for Tour in Bali, West Bali Tour: Taman Ayun, Ulun Danu Beratan, Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, Tanah Lot. 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.
