Jennifer_Y, Mar 2026
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!
Terrance_H, Mar 2026

Mianna_P, Mar 2026
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.

Ian_C, Mar 2026
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..
Response from Host, Feb 2026

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
Aayush_S, Dec 2025
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.
Geraldine_L, Dec 2025
Prompt response from Bali 4U tours when I was finalizing the itinerary for the day. Aris, our tour guide/driver picked us up from the cruise port. Because of the distance, we were only able to go to Uluwatu and Tanah Lot Temples. It was worth the drive! Aris was fantastic on telling us the history of the places we visited. Bonus point was that he was a great photographer! Ask for Aris when you book this tour.
Brooke_R, Dec 2025
Everything was great! Aris was wonderful and would recommend to anyone travelling to this beautiful island. I learnt so much and Aris made us feel comfortable and enjoy our tour!
David_B, Nov 2025

Our guide and driver Bastra was very nice and helpful. He understood our situation and what we desired and very patient with us. He made sure we get what we wanted for this trip. This was a very great experience.
Roger_G, Nov 2025
Sudi picked us up ontime and was very knowledgeable and took us to all the places we wanted to go, along with some suggestions to see other places. We highly recommend him. He also had a decent car that was comfortable.
patty, Nov 2025
There is a lot of traffic getting from Place to Place. We really enjoyed the coffee plantation and tasting the various samples of coffees and tea.
aki_c, Nov 2025
I had an amazing experience with our driver, Mudana! He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much about Bali’s culture and the places we passed by, which made the whole trip so much more interesting. He was also extremely patient when we stuck in traffic, he never rushed us and always made us feel comfortable. Truly a reliable and friendly driver. Highly recommended :)
Suzanne_F, Nov 2025
We explored several highlights of Bali by car. Our driver, Rudi, was awesome he was friendly and knowledgeable with excellent English.
Vitria_A, Nov 2025
Tour was easy and comfortable!
Nice and clean car.
Basically we customized our trip.
We went to Silver art house which is amazing collections, Waterfall (bit exercise, which is good for us, and Tegalalang Terrace was magical. We ended our tour with late lunch at Dedari Restaurant (recommended by our tour guide Aris) good food and good price, Very cool ambiance and design! Good for instagramar addict:)
And our tour guide ARIS was an awesome guide!
Historically & culturally knowledgeable having been born & raised in Bali, and he's young too! He's speaks very good English, which made understanding what he said easy; it also helped him enjoy our sense of humor, On top of all that, he a very good photographer
Highly recommend !
JAMES_P, Oct 2025
We had a really great experience seeing everything Ubud has to offer with our guide and driver Krisna from Bali 4U tours. The Monkey Forest was a lot of fun, but other highlights such as the Water Temple, Coffee plantation, and Rice terrace were just as good. It’s definitely worth getting a guide like Krisna as he was able make whole day so much more enjoyable with local knowledge and insights at every stage.
Martin_C, Oct 2025
My driver Chris was very knowledgeable about the sights I visited, plus the culture and history of Bali. He speaks excellent English. The day with him was both interesting and enjoyable, making it one of the highlights of my time in Bali.
MaryAnne_F, Oct 2025
Friendly private guide and driver provided us an opportunity of a lifetime to experience all the varied sites we wanted to visit!
Hetasvee_D, Oct 2025
The driver was punctual and courteous with very good driving. Though, did not help much in suggesting the right places to go for. Finished the day very early by 3.45 p.m. by saying that there will be traffic on the way back to Kuta. We could have easily covered one more place. He took us to Melasti beach, Uluwatu temple and GWK Cultural Park. Could have better experience with someone proactive and knowledgeable driver/guide.
Rayven_A, Oct 2025
The tour was super fun and easy - they pick you up and drop you off your place. Even letting you go to anywhere in between your itineraries like coffee breaks and such. Gede was such a delight to be with. He made this tour very informative yet engaging. It's nice to hear it from locals like him. He even let me pick the places where I want to go and gave me suggestions as well since I was solo and it's my first time in Bali. I really recommend Gede, such a great tour guide!
Lesa_D, Sep 2025
Our experience was beautiful, I believe it is essential to have a driver that has knowledge about your tour. Our driver was perfect and very funny, which we loved.
Rachel_S, Sep 2025
Sudi helped plan our itinerary and was a great guide. His son was the driver and both very courteous and professional, punctual and friendly. Had a great day and definitely recommend! … Thank you Sudi for a lovely day. Rachel & Thomas.
Javier_P, Aug 2025
Wonderful day with our driver. The experience was awesome. Visited the most important areas and have time for coffee and drinks.
Paul_B, Aug 2025
Chris, our tour guide was fabulous, extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. He took us on a tour of a waterfall, temple, coffee plantation and a monkey sanctuary. Highly recommend taking this tour.
Amanda_W, Aug 2025
Dastra was a terrific guide for our full day tour of the Ubud area. We visited the Aloha swing, rice terraces, waterfall, had lunch and then did the monkey forest. We had time to stop by the art market too but decided to finish early as the kids were tired and we thought it better to end on a high note rather than push it. Dastra was great at communicating where to get tickets (not included with our package) what to expect at each stop, and where to meet him when we were done. He always made sure we were settled before going to park and wait for us and often offered to take the best photos at the best angles and fancy videos for us. He was a safe and patient driver (Ubud traffic is CRAZY) and we spent the time in the car learning about Bali, the Hindu religion and rituals, village life & Bslinese culture and philosophy towards life. Dastra was terrific company and a fantastic host and driver. Do not hesitate to book with him.
