Our driver Raka was very nice and friendly. His car was clean and spacious and had air conditioning. We would recommend this guy to any future families that want to come to Bali, Indonesia. He also gave us complementary water, which is very nice and thoughtful of him.
We had a last day to spend in Bali between our 11am hotel check-out and our late night 11:30pm flight back to Sydney and had spent most of our time in Ubud so wanted to see a bit of the south and in particular Uluwatu temple.
We hired a drive/guide for the day and Aris was our driver. He was excellent!! We didn’t really know what we wanted to do other than to see the Uluwatu temple and Aris made a few recommendations of things to see on the way and told us all kinds of interesting things about Bali and the culture which we really enjoyed and was lacking from a previous half day “tour” we had taken around Ubud. It was a great way to spend our last day and while there was a bit of traffic and took us probably 3 hrs to get from our Ubud hotel to the Uluwatu temple I didn’t seem that long because we broke it up with a couple stops that Aris recommended and had great conversation with him where he answered all our questions and pointed out interesting things along the way.
I would 100% recommend Aris to anyone that wants a driver for either just transport around the island or a half or full day tour. He was wonderful to talk to and took very good care of us including accompanying us into the temple to tell us about the site and importantly “protecting” us from the monkeys that like to steal things from the tourists.
Wonderful trip. We could see everything we plan to our Guide Krishna was very knowledgeable and pleasant person.
Oka was fantastic! Very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining, and made the whole trip really enjoyable. He explained everything clearly, shared lots of interesting information and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day. Great energy throughout and a real pleasure to spend the day with. Highly recommended!
Rudi was our driver and tour guide. We selected where we wanted to go and he was fully knowledgeable on each location. He was able to give us historical information as well as a look into modern Bali life. I would highly recommend Rudi!
We had a great day with our driver, Yasmika. He safely transported us from our hotel in Sanur to Ubud, and we were able to see lots of great spots along the way. He gave us great insight into the area and context for our temple tour. We are very grateful!
was such a lovely experience. Was so patient with our busy schedule and waited for us throughout the day. Not only did he help us get around with ease, but also educated us on a lot of Bali culture. When visiting touristy locations, he also walked us through and almost acted as a tour guide with heaps of knowledge on everywhere we went. Was super friendly and kind! Thank you!
Made YASmika was a wonderful tour guide. Pointed out lots of historical statues as he drove to great shopping spots. Would recommend for those looking to explore Bali
Kavi, our tour guide was the highlight. He had good insights of the places we went and was fairly knowledgeable of the temple history.
Fantastic experience with a real ease of flexibility to creating your own tour around Ubud. Friendly guide and driver with well planned activities and good information! 10/10
We loved this day trip with our guide Krisna. Krisna was very friendly and knowledgeable about Bali and its traditions. We went to the Coffee plantation, Tegalalang rice terrace, Lunch in a local restaurant overlooking the jungle, Ulu Petanu waterfall, Capuhan ridge walk and Bali swing. Krisna took time to take the most incredible photos and videos of us at the waterfall and Bali swing. We highly recommend creating your own day trip with Krisna.
We visited the Rice terrace coffee plantation and holy temples with Guide Kiwi and Krishna. They explained all rituals and things on plantation very well. another Highlight was the lunch near paddy fields.
We had already been traveling for about two weeks in Malaysia and other parts of Bali, so we wanted a flexible, go at your own pace tour rather than a pre-planned tour of Ubud. I arranged a private, customized full-day tour of Ubud thru Bali 4U Tours, all via WhatsApp. They explained that my original list of sights which included Tirta Gangga and Lempuyang Temple were 2-2.5 hours away and would need a day to themselves. Texting back and forth with them helped me narrow down a suitable one-day itinerary. When booking a customized tour, just be aware upon checkout whether your price includes entrance fees and other extras so you are prepared with cash if they are not and you have to pay upon entry. Our driver and English speaking guide, Oka picked us up at our Westin Ubud hotel at 9:30am; --he was fantastic! Very upbeat, proud of his Balinese culture, highly respectful of their customs and land, and knowledgable of all the sights. We visited Tirta Empul and participated in the water purification ceremony which my son, husband and I felt was the highlight of our trip. We then went to the Permulan Coffee Plantation to experience various complimentary Balinese teas and coffees including Kopi Luwak (at an extra fee). Next we toured the Gunung Kawi Temple. Knowing I was interested in souvenir shopping, Oka brought us to the Krisna market where the locals shop. Since prices were fixed, it was nice not to have to haggle like we did at the Guwang Market. Our last stop was the Tegenungan Waterfall which we just saw from a top lookout point. Some people walk further down and go into the water but we did not. By the end of the day we were tired and decided not to visit the Tegalalang Rice Terrace, which was the last sight for the day on our itinerary list. We had visited one in Vietnam so didn't feel we were missing much. Most of the other tours build in lunch, but we knew we would be too full from the large breakfast buffet we had at our hotel before starting our tour, so we skipped that. We were highly satisfied with our tour and guide and would recommend this tour to all.
Raka was our private driver for the day and he was amazing. Lots of fun and took us to an aw some spot for lunch and service was excellent
Wow! We had Tegeg pick us up at 7am and headed into the middle of Bali, to Jatiluwih rice terraces, something that was on our bucket list. It was a 2.5hr drive from Nusa Dua and we broke it up with a temple on the way. Rice terraces were everything we expected them to be! After a scenic lookout lunch, we then headed south again to the temple on the sea, Tanah Lot, very pretty (and hot), before a quick coffee plantation stop for tasting and the next 2 hrs back to Nusa Dua. Tegeg did a big days driving for us and concious that he also had a 1.5hr drive back to his home!! Much appreciated Tegeg, we saw a huge amount of countryside today and enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the towns 🙌🙌
Our day was wonderful and filled with soooo much! Sammy had great information to share and was completely accommodating. We saw all the best places with Sammy guiding us through.
My wife and I had such a great time on this tour. Our guide Sammy was very knowledgeable and engaging. He tailored the tour according to our interests and made sure we were comfortable and cool in the car. We were able to see one of the family compounds and meet the elder locals that lived there which was an amazing experience. We also had a chance to have lunch at a restaurant where I had a delicious balinese entree. We visited the monkey forest and a beautiful waterfall and were able to take some cool photos. I recommend this tour and guide without any reservations if you are looking to go on a custom tailored tour.
Wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. We told him what we had already saw and asked for his suggestions. We couldn’t be happier.
10/10 Highly Recommend Tour Guide / Driver, Raka! Raka's pre-arrivsl communication was fantastic, he arrived on time, was very enthusiastic, friendly and full of good energy and made the experience fun, enjoyable, comfortable and safe. Raka's first hand knowledge along of Balanese culture along the way was cool and hit every destination I wanted to as promised. Here's is Raka's WhatsApp number: +62 812-3612-524.
Message him today on your trip to Ubud and Bali and you won't be disappointed!
10/10!!!
we had a wonderful day with ariss! he was so knowledgeable and fun to be with! He was very flexible and kept us very entertained. We enjoyed all of the sites that we saw today and would recommend him to anybody.
Great way to see the city without a large group. You can enjoy Ubud at your own pace. I would highly recommend this excursion. Mudana was punctual and polite and Yuli was the best. She tool every picture, climed every step, and helped us get dressed and all. Great day in Ubud!
Our driver and guide was Ayung. He was an excellent driver and informative guide. He was also a very considerate person. We would recommend him to pthers.
We very much enjoyed our tour. This is probably one of our main highlights in our trip to Bali. Rudite is our driver/tour guide and he’s amazing! Very personable and engaged throughout our tour! He’s also very knowledgeable of the indonesian culture and tradition. My husband and I really appreciated him giving us extra knowledge and even giving us tips for the monkey forrest. He also accomodated us when we ask to change our itinerary to go eat in a restaurant somewhere in ubud centre. Overall, highly recommended!
My friend and I spent a great day with Rudi. He was friendly and knowledgeable. I needed an itinerary for my mobility needs and he accommodated. He also was willing to offer a hand on the high steps.
Krishna is a great driver and photographer . He is very knowledgable and good driver . Highly recommended !!!
Fantastic day, despite the rain. Our driver/guide (Sammy) was a lovely bloke; very friendly and knowledgeable. Driving through busy traffic was very relaxed. Our planned itinerary was enhanced by Sammy’s local knowledge and suggestions and we went to places we would not have thought of. Overall a great experience and very good value.
Because it's so busy, on the road, the driver should have came earlier than 0830 to go to first destination. Next time when I come back. I would definitely request to leave early as possible..

Ardiyasa was great! He was very knowledgeable about Ubud and had lots of fun facts about the town and Bali in itself. He had refreshing AC in his car and water for me. I gave Ardi a list of places I wanted to visit, we reviewed them together and decided what would be doable with the time we had. I got ill midway through the day and I had him drop me at home for a few hours while I rested. When I was ready to go, he was already waiting outside for me. Ardi was very prompt, friendly and smart (:
You can figure out what sites are important to you, get recommendations from the driver and visit what you want.
Yasmika was our driver. He was very patient, flexible and helpful especially because one of our are passengers used a walker. He was knowledgeable and gave us lots of information. And he was super personable, and kind too
Excellent and flexible tour. Our driver/guide Raka was really friendly and knowledgeable who took us to great places as scheduled and also helped in clicking a lot of pictures. Would really recommend it.
