Wandeltocht Mythe van Pejeng

Myth of Pejeng offers a fascinating insight to ancient stories of Bali- anyone interested in history would love this. It was wonderful to be with the Ubud Story Walks team- guides Ira, Linda and Rai love sharing their knowledge and passion unfolding and bringing ancient stories into life while also sharing the connection to modern day life of Bali. So highly recommended and worthwhile to do this tour- make the effort to get out of Ubud Center for this experience. Having lived and traveled through Indonesia for many years, it's amazing how much more there is to learn. 🙏

Ira was an excellent guide. She had a very good knowledge of the prehistoric artifacts and tantric sculptures. She answered my many questions about the temples we visited patiently and with good humour. I very much enjoyed my visit to the private family compound as well. All round - this was a morning very well spent. Thank you!

I was so impressed with the quality of this tour and the owners of this company! For a very reasonable price, the extremely nice and knowledgeable staff took us to several temples in Pejeng, we had a lovely stop for coffee and treats at a private home, and ended at the archaeological museum. It was fascinating to learn more about the religions of the area and the history of the area. The guides said some people are worried about the walking and the heat, but it really wasn't a problem and they were careful to find shady spots for resting. It is kept to a small number of people, which means questions are answered and they don't mind going slightly off-script if a good conversation is happening. I highly recommend this tour!!!

What an incredible experience this tour was. My 83year old mother and I loved this tour with Joe our tour guide today. It opened our eyes to the history and culture of Bali, the sacred artefacts of the temples we visited. Joe was so welcoming and knowledgeable about the history of the area and the links between ancient past and the modern Balinese culture. He took time to answer questions and also took care of us navigating road crossings and pathways. We learnt so much about the temples and archaeological museum. We also appreciated the visit to a local family home and the opportunity to see how locals live, their family temple and experience Balinese morning tea and snacks. This was not a difficult walk, all flat and a few steps to get into temples. My mother managed the walk easily! We highly recommend this tour. Thank you Joe!

Having already spent a few days in Ubud we had few questions which our lovely guides Joe and Bagus were more than willing to answer in addition to the pleasant walk between temples of Pejeng town which is much quieter then Ubud. It is a short Grab ride from Ubud to the start of the location of this tour and worth it to get out of the hustle and bustle of Ubud. An unexpected highlight of the tour for us was the open air museum which houses sarcophagus found in Bali from the pre-historic era. A real eye opener for us as such ancient artifacts are usually found behind lock and key in museums and far from their origin. We have great memories from our tour and thank Ubud Story Walks and our guides for providing such a great service.

Easy 4000+steps, very few steps! 2.5 hours! Joe was very informative! Love the stories about the moon of Pejeng and tantra… who knew Bali had sarcophagi! Go early and visit the local market before the tour starts!

We were very lucky to be there on the same day as a ceremony so that we could see the temple in its full glory with lots of people and activities. Even if you don't get the same experience, the guide is lovely and brings a wealth of information as well as pictures to share. Am deeply appreciative that they conducted the tour even though I was the only person that day, very professional and committed!

We had an organised trip through our hotel for a private tour of the myth of pejeng with Ubud story walks. We had 2 young ladies as our guides, who were so knowledgeable and so friendly. We did the 4 stops, Pura penataran Sasih, Pura Pusering Jagat, Pura Kebo Eden and the museum. We had a stop at a local home and got to look around and have a drink and local snack. We were fortunate to see local people presenting offerings. Very interesting and our 2 guides made it for us.

Win was an incredible guide, allowing time for all of our complex questions. She took good care of us, bringing proper attire, sunblock, and bug repellent. We got to see and learn so many fascinating things about the history of the area and Bali. Also, very cute temple animals joined the trip! Highly recommend this tour as a way to orient yourself to this beautiful culture and place!

Khana and Jo are two excellent guides for doing the new Myth of Pejeng tour. Both are very knowledgeable and communicate with clarity and confidence. Both the ucrrent operating Ubud Story Walks are "must dos" for visitors to Ubud.
