Rio was polite professional and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed my day. I would definitely recommend him. 10/10!
Adelyn_K, May 2026
I had the best day exploring Ubud! Darma was an exceptional driver and tourguide. He did a great job listening to what was important to me and made a last minute stop at a coffee place so I could do a coffee tasting and get some delicious local coffee. I would absolutely recommend this, especially if you are traveling solo.

A wonderful day spent out and about in Ubud. We loved having Sudi and Krishna as our guides. Sudi was a great story teller and answered all of our many questions. We really enjoyed how he helped us understand Balinese culture on a deeper level. He also took care to snap loads of fantastic photos of us along the way. We loved being able to cater the trip to what we wanted to see and do and Sudi helped us have the best day. All in all a great tour!

Reymark_V, Apr 2026
Had an amazing time on my Ubud tour—definitely one of the highlights of my Bali trip. Loved visiting the Monkey Forest, walking through the rice terraces, and soaking at the waterfall. Everything felt well-paced and really enjoyable.
Rio, my driver and guide, made the whole experience even better. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and very thoughtful—especially as a solo traveler, I felt really comfortable the whole time. He shared a lot about Balinese culture, helped take great photos, and was flexible with anything I wanted to do.
Overall, just a really smooth and fun day. Highly recommend asking for Rio—Bali 4U Tours is lucky to have him!

Bali 4U tours paired us with the perfect local guide who knows all the best spots, make sure to ask for Sammy. He provided hotel pickup and curated a brilliant 8-hour day for us. We loved the balance of culture at Batuan Temple and the art villages with the natural beauty of the Tegalalang Rice Terraces and Tegenungan Waterfall and selfies with monkeys at the Sacred Monkey Forest. Sammy is more than just a driver-he's a great storyteller and host. I Highly recommend him for anyone wanting an stress-free tour of Ball's highlights. 5 Star experience!

We had such a great experience on this tour and couldn’t have asked for a better guide team. Our driver and his wife were incredibly attentive, kind, and knowledgeable from start to finish. They really took the time to understand what we wanted out of the day and thoughtfully adjusted the itinerary along the way—skipping things we had already done and adding in new experiences that made the tour feel completely personalized.
What stood out most was how much they went above and beyond at each stop. They often accompanied us, helping us order from menus, explaining local customs, and making sure we felt comfortable and confident navigating everything. It made a huge difference, especially in a new place.
Overall, it felt less like a standard tour and more like spending the day with thoughtful, well-informed locals who genuinely cared about our experience. Highly recommend!

Fun tour of Ubud area. Our guide Raka was so much fun and made the trip one to remember. He is very knowledgeable about the sites and taught us a lot about Bali and its culture. 10/10 recommend.
Tim_K, Apr 2026
Our guide Sammy made the day easy and enjoyable. The tour included a great mix of attractions with Sammy providing good commentary and a comfortable experience.

This day tour around Ubud was an excellent experience. Our guide, Krisna, was very organised and professional, but even better he was friendly and funny and informative and always aware of our needs. The tour itself could be flexible and Krisna clearly laid out our options. The tour was a great variety of spectacular sights, wonderful craft work, temples, food, and fun. Highly recommended!

Wow. What an experience we had. Our Tour Guide, Darma, was exceptional. He was so friendly and engaging, and he always looked out for my elderly parents.
He always answered our questions and did the little things, giving us water, recommendations and everything in between.
I would 1000% recommend this to anyone because of Darma!!!
Brian_W, Apr 2026
Juli was a great guide for the day tour to Ubud. He had good driving and a comfortable car. He was friendly and we went to every spot on the tour that was mentioned.
He gave us however much time we needed at each spot and we never felt rushed.
We took his restaurant recommendation in Ubud named Tropical and the food was excellent.
Great day in Ubud! Lots to see and do and was a jam packed day!
Janna_D, Apr 2026
Mundana & Yuli gave us an amazing tour. They were friendly from start to finish & truly treated us with the utmost respect & professionalism. Great experience from start to finish & would highly recommend spending the day with them while you are here in Bali.
Mike_M, Apr 2026
Was picked up by Chris my tour guide, not only was he very informative but was very proud of Bali. Was definitely worth the money for as long as the tour was. It was very cool to see it in person.
DeonThomas, Mar 2026
We had an amazing experience on this private tour! Everything was seamless from start to finish. Our guide, Sudi, was fantastic—very friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. The pickup and drop-off were smooth and right on time, which made the day stress-free.
The itinerary was perfect. We visited beautiful temples, explored the monkey forest, enjoyed a stunning waterfall, and had a great time shopping in Ubud center. Each stop felt well-paced and gave us enough time to really take it all in.
One of the highlights was definitely the monkey experience—my wife absolutely loved it! We also had a blast on the swing by the rice fields, and we were able to capture some incredible photos throughout the day.
Overall, this was a well-organized, memorable tour and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bali!

Not only was he very nice and courteous, our guide, YasMika was excellent!! It seemed like he took us all over Ubud and told us so many cultural things about the history of Bali. It’s a must see tour of Bali in a day!!
Snehdeep_G, Mar 2026
Rio was our tour guide for the one day Ubud trip today. He gave us exactly what we asked for....plus much more! We had a fantastic time with Rio. He shared his culture with passion and made us feel truly welcome. A wonderful mix of history, traditions, and local life — much more than just sightseeing. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a real Balinese experience. Thank you, Rio🙏

We had a great day with our driver, Chris. He was very knowledgeable regarding all things Bali and adjusted the tour to our pace and interests. Happy monkeys, temples, vistas, what’s not to love! A great choice for quick trip to Bali. Thank you Chris!

Krisna was amazing, extremely knowledgeable and informative tour guide and an extremely good photographer. Don’t hesitate to book this, it covers a lot of things that makes Ubud special.

From the moment we disembarked our cruise ship, the flawless communication allowed us to find our amazing driver, Oka, with ease.
Oka began by introducing himself and acquainting himself with all 4 of our names.
He discussed the itinerary and asked if we had any particular preferences of the places. We thought that was an excellent touch, as it subsequently allowed more time to explore the parts which interested us the most.
Oka proved to a thoroughly excellent driver and knowledgeable guide, speaking very good English. Despite intermittent heavy showers, he took us to all the places we wanted; held umbrellas for us getting in and out of the vehicle; and arranged for people to help at all the destinations we visited. His attention to detail was top-drawer, including looking out for our safety - especially given most surfaces were wet and slippery.
Whilst at the Rice Terraces (one of our favourites) Oka procured a table for our lunch presenting fabulous views over the valley. And later, helped us all secure a holiday memory, by carefully choosing a location for our 'Ubud Swing' experience.
Oka also ensured (despite the rain) we preserved memories by taking lots of brilliant photos for the 4 of us.
Oka always checked in with us to see how long we wished to stay at the various locations, whilst carefully bearing in mind the timescale required to get back to the cruise port in good time.
In summary... this was one of the most excellent tours we have all experienced, made that way undoubtedly by the most attentive and experienced driver/guide.
We owe a huge debt to Oka for making our Ubud, Bali visit a most memorable one!
Trudi_H, Feb 2026
Amazing experience! If you can, try to request Raka, you won’t be disappointed. He’s so knowledgeable about the sites but we found his knowledge and personal connection to the culture so special. He knew people everywhere we stopped and made sure to tailor our experience to make it extra special. We will never forget this day! Thank you Raka!!
