This was an excellent tour providing great coverage of Ubud and its area. Our guide (Rudi) was very informative and he provided good guidance throughout the day. His English was perfect and he was passionate and enthusiastic.
The choice of places to visit gave us an appreciation of the Ubud area and culture. Can we please highly recommend this tour - one of the best we've done.
Oka took my parents and I on this tour and we all had an amazing time. He was fully considerate of my parents age and pace. He also answered all our questions and provided us into so much insight into Balinese culture. He was flexible and adjusted our itinerary to accommodate all our requests. He is also really fluent in English which made communication really easy.
When it was time lunch he took us to get the best Original Balinese Chicken geprek we have ever tasted!
He also took very good pictures and videos of us and took us to the best photo opps spots! I would definitely recommend doing this tour with Oka!
I’ve just returned from the most perfect day exploring Ubud with my wonderful guide and driver, Oka — and I honestly couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
Oka is one of the best guides I’ve ever experienced. He was punctual, incredibly knowledgeable and informative, endlessly patient, and had the biggest smile and warmest heart throughout the entire day. Most importantly, he genuinely cared about making sure I had the most wonderful experience possible.
He took the time to listen to what I was interested in and what I wanted to see, and then tailored the day perfectly around me. Nothing ever felt rushed, and I felt completely looked after from beginning to end.
We visited some truly beautiful places, including the stunning Tegalalang Rice Terrace, Tegenungan Waterfall, the beautiful Pura Puseh Desa Batuan Temple, and the Sacred Monkey Forest, where the cheeky monkeys certainly kept things entertaining! 🐒
I enjoyed every single moment of the day, and so much of that was down to Oka’s kindness, enthusiasm and wonderful personality.
If you’re looking for the perfect day around Ubud, please ask for Oka. Take it from me — you won’t regret it!
Oka, THANK YOU SO MUCH for such a magical day. I’ll remember it for a very long time. ❤️
Our tour guide, photographer extraordinaire, Oka, was wonderful! Oka and our driver were fantastic and caring. He was so knowledgeable and we covered so much of Ubud! We would love to spend more time with them!!
Ubud is a lovely area to visit. I was fortunate to have had an extremely knowledgeable guide, Chris, from whom I learnt a lot at each place I visited.
Kresna was our tour guide and he was amazing and very informative! Learned so much about the culture and heritage along the way, could not recommend Kresna enough!
Great tour, we skipped the Monkey Sanctuary as we had already been and saw lots more. Totally worth it. Dastra was a great host!
Our family of six really enjoyed our time with Oka exploring Ubud and the surrounding area! Our driver and Oka got us into all of the sites quite efficiently and we felt very cared for. Never a worry! Oka shared lots of information about Ubud and Indonesia. Well worth the trip!
The trip was lovely with Krisna, we got to explore a lot of Ubud in a day and customized it with great recommendations. Would definitely recommend, maybe take a look in advance what you’d wanna do in Ubud like ATV, specific art villages, adventure type or shopping activities.
Aria was our driver for the day he was very informative and a great driver, we visited all the attractions
Highly recommended!
We had an amazing day exploring Ubud. Visiting the beautiful waterfall, the stunning rice terraces, the Monkey Forest, the coffee plantation, and the talented wood carvers was an unforgettable experience. Every stop was unique and gave us a wonderful glimpse into Bali's natural beauty, culture, and craftsmanship. Our guide, Ardy was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome throughout the day. This was definitely one of the highlights of our Bali holiday!
We had a memorable trip with Dastra. We enjoyed the easy conversation and shared topics regarding culture and Balinese information. Conversation was easy and funny and we appreciated the consideration and kindness that made our day most entertaining. An easy and memorable experience capturing a day Ubud style. Thank you.
Perfect trip if you want to capture a lot of ubud in one day. The tour guide Chris was full of local knowledge and insight to all excursions that were included. He went at a relaxed pace that suited us to the ground. 10/10
Gede was an absolutely outstanding guide and made our day in Bali unforgettable. His vivacious personality, great sense of humor, and genuine enthusiasm made every stop even more enjoyable. Beyond being fun to spend the day with, his deep knowledge of Balinese culture, history, and traditions gave us a much richer appreciation for everything we saw.
He also did an incredible job getting us efficiently from place to place, making it possible to fit far more into a single day than I ever thought possible without feeling rushed. His local expertise and smooth planning meant we spent our time enjoying Bali instead of sitting in traffic or wondering where to go next.
My son and I especially loved visiting the Monkey Forest and the stunning rice terraces—both were highlights of our trip and experiences we’ll remember for years to come.
If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, personable, and committed to making the most of your time in Bali, I can’t recommend Gede highly enough. Five stars all the way!
Best thing I did in Ubud was book this tour. It gave me a much deeper insight into cultural life in Bali. My guide Tegeg was amazing. He perfectly paced the trip according to my needs. I got a bit hungry in between so he recommended a delicious place that does authentic Balinese fried chicken. Also plus points he takes great pictures also. I would book him again in a heartbeat.
We had a great tour. Tegeg was our tour guide, he was friendly and professional. Had wonderful experience!
This was such a wonderful experience with Darma!! From the moment the tour began, he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure I had the best possible experience. His knowledge of Ubud, Balinese culture, history, and local traditions added so much depth to every stop we visited, and he was always happy to answer questions and share fascinating insights.
Darma was also extremely thoughtful and attentive throughout the day, making sure I was comfortable, keeping the itinerary flexible, and tailoring the experience to my interests. What truly surprised me was his talent as a photographer as he knew all the best angles, helped with poses, and captured beautiful photos that I’ll treasure long after the trip. Honestly, some of the best pictures from my Bali vacation were taken by him!
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and kind guide who goes above and beyond, I cannot recommend Darma highly enough. He made this day in Ubud unforgettable, and I would happily book another tour with him in the future. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rio was an amazing guide and made my day in Ubud one of the highlights of my Bali trip. His friendly, warm demeanor made him easy to talk to, and I learned so much about Balinese culture, history, daily life, and the significance of places like Batuan Temple and the rice terraces.
He was also incredibly flexible. I decided I didn’t want to visit the Monkey Forest and mentioned it on the day, and he happily suggested alternatives and adjusted the itinerary to include a temple and coffee plantation instead.
As a solo female traveller, I felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire tour. Rio is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing his culture. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Ubud.
Thanks so much Rio!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
We had a very enjoyable and informative day with Kawi as our guide. He was easy to talk to and answered all of our questions.
The day with our guide, Darma, was even better than expected. Darma was friendly, accommodating and patient. We travelled with a high schooler, college student and our mother (75 yo) and this experience had something for everyone. Bali and its people were both amazing and I would recommend this trip for anyone. We only had a short time in Bali so this allowed us to experience the culture and see a wide variety of places.
Sammy from Sammy Adventure was our guide. He was simply amazing. We have been on many tours, but Sammy made this experience very special. He went out of his way to provide a personalized tour of Bali and the surrounding culture. He added a coffee excursion along with a visit to an actual community so we could understand the culture completely. I highly recommend this company with Sammy as your guide. Please pass on a special thanks to Sammy for a beautiful and memorable day!!!
Rio was polite professional and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed my day. I would definitely recommend him. 10/10!
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!
Amazing tourguide with great attitude and explains very well. He had a good sense of humor and is so funny
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!
Gede is friendly, accommodating, and flexible. He made our time in Ubud unforgetable. Thank you Gede!!
Oka was phenomenal! We had a fabulous time so accommodating and knowledgeable. Our day could not have been better! Our driver Wyan was awesome as well!
