Dewa Nata the best driver in Bali
Dewa Nata has to be one of the best drivers we have ever had! He was punctual, an excellent and very careful driver, incredibly knowledgeable about Balinese traditions and culture, and such an easy and interesting person to talk to. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks to Dewa, we learned so much about Balinese history, religion, culture, and so many other fascinating subjects. Every journey became an opportunity to learn something new. As Dewa is also a teacher, we feel incredibly lucky to have had the chance to learn from him. It truly felt like a privilege to spend time in his company. Thank you, Dewa, for making our day in Uluwatu ,Bali, so interesting, enjoyable and memorable. We will never forget you! ❤️

Customized Day tour
It was lovely day. The driver arrived very on time and professional on introducing Bali culture, coffee knowledge and foods recommendations. Dewa is a really great driver who was good at taking photos for us.

Ari’s Authentic Ubud Experience
Honestly cannot recommend Ari enough! He was professional, knowledgeable, funny and just really easy to spend the day with. We started at the rice fields and somehow had the whole place to ourselves — not another tourist in sight. It felt really special and almost like proper VIP treatment. From there, Ari took us to his local village where we learnt how rice is traditionally processed and even got stuck in helping his uncle, which was such a brilliant and genuinely authentic experience. Throughout the day, Ari taught us loads about Balinese culture, religion and everyday life, but what we really loved was how personal it all felt. He chatted to us about his own life, family and what he likes doing in his spare time, so it felt much more like spending the day with a local friend than being on a standard tour. We’d originally planned to visit a popular café, but told Ari we’re not big fans of crowds and prefer proper local food. He completely got it and took us to his favourite warung instead. We were the only tourists there, the food was lovely and the jungle views were absolutely beautiful. We also casually mentioned wanting a coffee, and of course Ari found us another amazing little spot with locally made coffee and tea and gorgeous jungle views. He completely tailored the day around what we actually enjoy, rather than just ticking off the usual tourist stops. Such a fun, personal and unforgettable day. Thank you Ari — genuinely one of the highlights of our trip!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear you had such a special day with Ari. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Bali again!

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ubud Private Tour: Waterfalls, Rice Terrace & Monkey Forest: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Ubud Private Tour: Waterfalls, Rice Terrace & 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 Ubud Private Tour: Waterfalls, Rice Terrace & 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 Ubud Private Tour: Waterfalls, Rice Terrace & Monkey Forest worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 131 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ubud Private Tour: Waterfalls, Rice Terrace & 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 Ubud Private Tour: Waterfalls, Rice Terrace & 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 Ubud Private Tour: Waterfalls, Rice Terrace & Monkey Forest?
+
Around 46 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 Ubud Private Tour: Waterfalls, Rice Terrace & 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.
