We really enjoyed the half day! Our guide was so flexible & willing to stop at other places along the way in addition to what was planned. We didn’t take him up on it as we needed to be back for our flight home. But it was nice to know we had the option.

A day in Bali

Benito_B, Mar 2026
Great Experience Learning about Balinese culture from Kutut. Kutut was very knowledgeable and accommodating with my requests.

The stops weren’t exact but truly great half day in Bali

Samantha_D, Feb 2026
Ketut Ajus was a fabulous tour guide. The stops did not match the listing on Viator (Batuan temple instead of the Elephant Cave) but it was still an incredible time. We don’t like long tour days so this was the perfect amount of stops and a nice variety. Ketut was so friendly, explained the architecture and culture, and even recommended and drove us to the most amazing spot for lunch- the food there was so delicious and the views were breathtaking. He was so helpful, the car was spotless, he offered to take our photos multiple times, and he even brought us water bottles at a stop. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a phenomenal time- would absolutely love to have Ketut as a tour guide again in the future.

Great tour of Bali by Bali Wira Tours

eula_a, Feb 2026
Bali Wira Tours was great. Wira is very knowledgeable of Balinese culture and experiences. We wanted a private tour with English speaking driver. Wira was perfect. Very patient. Responded to any and all questions with thoughtful and well articulated answers. We asked about everything from the President of Indonesia, to how rice was farmed. He handled with thoughtful answers. It’s a beautiful country and he helped us to see it through his eyes. He even shared personal and sometimes humorous stories about his family and tours he has conducted or travel through Bali.

Wonderful day in Bali

AnneSophie_L, Jan 2026
Amazing visit in Bali with our guide Ketut Ajus. Informative guide who went the extra mile to make our visit unique and interesting.

Fantastic and kind guide, wonderfull tour

Claudia_D, Jan 2026
We did the half day bali tour with guide Ketut Ajus. He showed us wonderfull and beautyfull places, an organic Luwak coffee farm, where we were able to try different spices, tea and coffees and also the special Luwak coffee, the impressive Elephant cave Temple, a rice terrasse and a waterfall. Ketut explained us everything in a very interesting and exciting way, he speaks perfect english and he also told us many things about the balinese religion and way of live. We travel a lot, we had many tours with many guides in different countries. Ketut belongs to the best! Thanks to him for this grate tour. We also want to mention our safe driver!

Our driver Ketut was...

Cristina_S, Jan 2026
Our driver Ketut was really good, very knowledgeable of the area, didn't rush us around, stress free tour even with the rain.

5 star experience and service

Raja_R, Dec 2025
I read the reviews before booking this experience and was hoping that Ketut Ajus be assigned as our guide. He did not disappoint. He’s a good driver weaving in and out of the busy traffic and narrow roads and he had depth of knowledge to give us a background and history lesson to all the places we visited. All the places we visited are so beautiful. There are not that many people, so we could enjoy them without a crowd. He also recommended us other good places to eat, visit and buy art. Overall, 5 star experience and service.

Wonderful, Affordable, and Informative Private Tour in Bali

Mai_J, Nov 2025
We had a wonderful day sights seeing with Wira. He picked us up at our hotel in South Kuta. We visited the Elephant Cave Temple, the Batik production plant and shop and saw the demonstration of Batik printing and painting. Then we went to the rice field, and the Wood Carving gallery to find a souvenir for our son. We went to the coffee tea plantation and shop. The best tea and coffee we tasted in the world! The waterfall was the highlight of the trip. It was beautiful. We strongly recommend this tour. It was a great way to see some beautiful sights in Bali when we only had one day. At the end of the tour Wira was so kind to drop us off at the harbor to board our ship. It was a wonderful day. Thanks Wira!

Great half day tour

Sandie_D, Oct 2025

Bali half day tour

Gavin_C, Oct 2025
If you want to see the real Bali beyond the beaches, this half day tour with is for you! We began at the Rice terrace, a stunning, World Heritage site surrounded by lush jungle. Our guide,Suas knew the perfect time to go, so we had the place almost to ourselves. Next, we visited the Elephant Cave, where Suas, was incredibly insightful, sharing stories about Hindu gods and Balinese philosophy that transformed our sightseeing into a deep learning experience. He then guided us to waterfalls which was breathtaking and finished up with coffee plantation! The pace was relaxed, the car was luxurious, and Suas’s passion for his culture was infectious. This tour is ideal for family, couples or solo travelers seeking a more contemplative and visually stunning experience.

Great Tour

Caroline_J, Oct 2025
“Suas was fantastic! He confirmed details beforehand, was super friendly and flexible, and shared so much about Bali culture and daily life. Made the tour fun and stress-free. Highly recommend!”

Obud short Private tour

David_s, Apr 2025
Need to go early or in the afternoon, traffic horrendous so miss some of the sites in short time. Ubud crazy congested. Private tour guide/driver very good. Need to decide if want sights or Obud centre market, palace etc. Rice terrace worth seeing.

Bali experience

Timothy_N, Apr 2025
Nice tour of the south Bali area. Loved the water falls, temple and rice terrace that were all tucked into the city landscape. Ketut Ajus was our guide, He did an outstanding job of explaining the significance of each stop and how the Bali culture is connected. He even took us to a fantastic coffee plantation for a sample of local brew. Highly recommend!

Diane_M, Mar 2025
We had a wonderful trip with our guide Wira. On the rice terrace I took opportunity to go on swing which was fun, there is also a zip line or random bike (zip line) should you prefer. The temple visit was good and we took the blessing (leave a gratuity)

Quick. Overview of Bali

Joan_A, Mar 2025
Our driver Ese was an excellent driver and full of information. We had great rapport with him. We only had a half day to catch some sights and he helped us choose. It was Rice terrace fields, the largest temple in Bali and we wanted to go to the Batik showroom but ran out of time. He took great pictures of us ! Last we had to get a new charger and he took us to the store and helped interpret what I needed.

Perfect tour with thanks to Our guide Ketut Ajus!

Amanda_G, Feb 2025
If you are looking for a half day highlight of Bali Ubud this is your tour ! Having a great guide/driver makes the trip ‘ Ketut Ajus’ was our perfect guide very knowledgeable and allowing us to have some free time to take in each of the 3 visits on the tour! Highlights the Elephant cave & Tegalalang rice terrace - perfect photo opportunities, rain at the waterfall but still a good view!

Great guide, horrible traffic

Paula_H, Dec 2024
Wira was our guide and was extremely helpful, explaining so much about the Balinese culture and people. We came with my elderly mother and Wira did everyyhing to make her comfortable. He is also an extreskillful driver. Unfortunately the traffic in the south of Bali is horrific which meant we had very little to time to visit all the sites described in the tour. As a result we had to skip the waterfall. I suggest doing this as a full day tour if you want time to enjoy the sites instead of spending most of your time in s car.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Hello Paula thankyou so much for Your feedback regarding the tour, we truly appreciate it so much. This Time is going to have a Chrismast holiday and new Year, the traffict is a bit too much, it is out of our control and very unpredictable, again thankyou so much, we will keep doing our best for future customers and hope Will see you again next Time ! Regard Ketut

Half day Bali tour - some impressions from Ubud

Sabine_F, Dec 2024
The overall experience was great! We had three stops: The elephant temple with stunning tropical forest sitting behind; a beautiful natural waterfall, part of a local community and the Tegalalang ric eterrace which was absolutely breathtaking; an unique scenery with lush green in the heart of Ubud. The accompanying information about Bali, its history and culture and religion, the region Ubud (provided by my guide Ketut) really rounded up the tour! Whilst touring in the morning, the locations were not over-crowded and weather was good (not too hot, a bit cloudy which added a bit of a mystic touch) - highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear our lovely customers Thankyou so much and truly appreciate your five stars review, this is awesome and we are very happy and will be more confident to provide another memorable Bali experience to our future customers, please take care and we are looking forward to see you again in the nearest future! all the best ketut
