Oka was a great guide for the day. He explained many details of Bali's culture, customs, rituals etc. (Even how to manage the naughty monkeys!) He allowed us to customise our stops as it suited us (and working around the wet weather)! He was a great host, very proud of his heritage, and a very good photographer as well.

Amazing Tour, Amazing Guide

Bilal_C, Apr 2026
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!!!

Great Ubud day tour

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!

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.

Experience Beautiful Bali

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.

Private Ubud rour

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!

Best tour ever!

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🙏

Jamaal_G, Mar 2026
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.

Stunning Ubud - all in a day!

Martin_S, Feb 2026
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!

Unforgettable Day!

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!!

Ubud - Tour with Darma

ANGELO_S, Feb 2026
I strongly recommend Bali 4U Tours, and especially our driver and guide, Darma. From the very beginning, Darma understood our needs and helped us customize our tour in the most efficient and enjoyable way. He demonstrated excellent knowledge and communication skills, explaining everything with the right level of detail and helping us gain a deeper understanding of Balinese culture and traditions. Last but not least, he took fantastic photos of us at every place we visited. Overall, he made our experience truly memorable and left us with wonderful memories of Ubud/Bali.
