I’d highly recommend you this experience My guide was Adi and he assisted me on every move. Told me about the places we were passing by. It was a solo tour so at every places he gave me as much time as I needed there and waited patiently for me coming back. The vehicle was spacious and with the good working AC. And he also combined all the places in such order, that during my purification there were literally zero people. This experience is really worth of money
I had a lovely time. Did the tour on my own, started at 11:00 am and was back at around 6pm. There was a bit of crowd in the old balinese village, but it was very manageable and made it feel more alive. The guide was really friendly the entire time, and made sure I was feeling comfortable and having a good time. My personal highlight was the purification ritual; its such a special place with so much history, you feel at peace the moment you arrive there. Dont miss out on that one!!
우붓 몽키포레스트, 우붓 왕궁, 발리 스윙 등 여러 곳을 하루 동안 알차게 다녀왔는데 정말 즐거운 투어였어요! 특히 몽키포레스트에서 원숭이들을 가까이에서 본 경험이 가장 기억에 남았고, 너무 귀엽고 재미있었어요. 가이드님께서 이동할 때마다 세심하게 챙겨주시고 편안하게 투어를 즐길 수 있도록 많이 도와주셔서 하루 종일 정말 즐겁고 편안한 시간이었습니다. 사진도 열심히 찍어주셔서 좋은 추억을 많이 남길 수 있었어요. 덕분에 발리에서 정말 행복한 하루를 보냈고, 우붓 투어를 고민하는 분들께 꼭 추천하고 싶습니다! We visited Ubud Monkey Forest, Ubud Palace, Bali Swing, and several other places during the tour, and it was such an amazing experience! The most memorable part was definitely seeing the monkeys at the Monkey Forest — they were so cute and fun to watch. Our guide was very kind and thoughtful throughout the entire trip, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour. They also helped us a lot and took many great photos for us, which made the experience even more special. Thanks to them, we had such a fun and relaxing day in Bali, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ubud!
