Great experience with Ketut!
We had a wonderful and very diverse day exploring Ubud with Ketut. From waterfalls and beautiful rice fields to temples and Balinese art, we got to experience many different sides of Bali. Ketut was friendly, knowledgeable and very flexible, making the whole day relaxed and enjoyable. He also shared lots of interesting information about Balinese culture and history and was always happy to answer our questions. We highly recommended Ketut! 🙏🏼🇮🇩

Unprofessional tour guide and unprofessional tour operator
You are lucky if you get the right driver/guide. We did the half day tour which was quite boring and not worth it except for the Tirta Temple. The main issue was our driver/guide who was keen on making commissions and taking to art market and coffee plantation which are not part of the trip and waste the time. But the worst part was, he was supposed to take us inside the temple and guide us by explaining everything about the temple, but he insisted he was starving and has to have his lunch and left us alone, when he could have actually had his lunch when we had our lunch. Throughout the trip he didn't talk much about Bali but keen on asking personal questions about us. At the end, he rushed up, saying we have overrun our time. It's was a 6 hour trip. We booked for 10.00 am, arrived 40 mins late cos we had taxis cancelling us and the guide said no rush, take your time and at the end, he said we ran out of time but he will do a favour for us. When dripping us, he felt guilty and said, sorry if I made any mistake. That proves he was on the wrong.
The operator responsible for this tour messaged us the guide will pick us up in the Hotel, but the next morning asked us to cancel the trip as they cant pick us up in our hotel or we have to travel an hour to reach the driver in another city. Very u professional to agree and disagree.
The whole trip was a very unhappy one.
Operator response
Dear Mr. Ravi,
Our Indian Guest
Thank you for your review. We respect all feedback and we have recorded every moment of your tour on the travel date, but we must clarify the facts for future guests reading this.
1. On the 6-Hour Tour: You booked a 6-hour half-day tour for Uluwatu to Ubud. We informed you before the tour that this is not enough time, as Uluwatu to Ubud takes 2.5 - 3 hours one-way with Bali traffic. You decided to proceed.
2. On the Meeting Point: We originally arranged hotel pickup. To help save your tour time after your request to change plans, we mutually agreed to meet at McDonald's Sanur. You arrived 1 hour late to this new meeting point. When our guide said "no rush, take your time," it was out of Balinese politeness, not an agreement to extend the 6-hour service for free.
3. On Our Guide: Our guide respectfully asked for your permission for a brief lunch at the temple, and you approved it at the time. The art market and coffee plantation are standard cultural stops on this route, not commission stops. His apology at drop-off was a gesture of respect and hospitality, not an admission of fault. He continued the tour professionally despite feeling unwell.
Despite the 1-hour late start, we delivered the full service including vehicle, fuel, driver and guide time.
We always communicate honestly about what is realistic within the booked time.
Best regards,
Putra Kencana

Our guide Adi was really...
Our guide Adi was really nice and accommodating. I needed slippers for the waterfall and he kindly stopped by a place where I can get one. The half-day tour is a really good experience to get to main spots of Ubud without dragging it too long. He also shared great imformation about the places we went.

Great day in Ubud!
My mother and I had a great day on our half day tour with Nyoman! We saw so many things and got a glimpse into the culture as well. Nyoman was really friendly, informative, and very helpful with my mother (aged 77) on the tall steps and uneven terrain all over the place in ubud :) He also took a ton of great photos along the way. I highly recommend this tour to get an introduction to Ubud and for an overall great day.

Perfect Private Tour and great Guide
This was an exceptional private tour provided by our wonderful driver and guide, Moyo. He arrived early, patiently waited for us, and ensured we were on time. Moyo showed us all the sights with detailed explanations, enhancing our experience at every stop. We had an amazing time at the Bali swing, and the views of the rice paddies were breathtaking. This private tour is perfect if you prefer to explore at your own pace and leisure without waiting for others. Moyo spoke perfect English and was incredibly friendly throughout the nearly six-hour tour. We visited numerous attractions, and it was a fantastic way to see the sights and really understand the culture behind these. While some places can get busy, especially during high season, it’s all part of the experience, and you’ll have the opportunity to meet fellow tourists at these main attractions. The waterfall nice to see, but be prepared to walk the 100 steps down, more importantly back up!
