Amazing day out about around Ubud. Chris was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. He drove us around the many places and walked around with us telling us information and taking pictures. Our favourite day here in Bali and would highly recommend for all travellers.
Excellent and flexible experience. Tour guide Ayung was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and flexible. Extremely good value for money and good atmosphere throughout. Our guide also knew when would be busy and more quiet so we adjusted the route accordingly.
Made YASmika was a wonderful tour guide. Pointed out lots of historical statues as he drove to great shopping spots. Would recommend for those looking to explore Bali
We had a great customized tour with our driver, Guna. We visited Ubud, the Monkey Forest, the local market, and enjoyed a massage before heading to Taman Ayun Temple. Guna was friendly, helpful, and flexible. Highly recommended!
Kavi, our tour guide was the highlight. He had good insights of the places we went and was fairly knowledgeable of the temple history.
We had a fantastic 10 hr private guide tour with Rio! The booking and pick-up process were seamless, and Rio was very helpful in providing recommendations and customizing our route to ensure we saw our top priorities. Rio was incredibly knowledgeable about each of the places we visited, and we learned so much about Balinese culture from him. Cannot recommend Rio and the 10 hr guided drive enough!
Rio was INCREDIBLE! He shared so many rich facts and knowledge about Balinese culture and was such a kind guy overall. My wife and I were asking many questions and he was very happy to answer all of them with a lot of color and enthusiasm. I’d recommend Rio to anyone for a tour like this!
Sudi was awesome - he was right in time and did an excellent job for getting to our desired locations. The drive was quick and easy. Sudi shared lots of information about the island of Bali. This was a late minute addition and we were able to see so many sites around Ubud. Sudi took excellent pictures of the 2 of us - this was a great way to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We would definitely book with Sudi again.
Our tour with Dastra was absolutely amazing. He was so kind, sweet,knowlagable and a very good driver, plus a great photographer. After spend the day with him, we feel like he was already part of our family. What a beautiful city and beautiful soul. Thank you Dastra.
Sammy was a great guide and driver. He was clearly understood and he arranged our limited time for us to get the most out of our trip to Ubud. He was also knowledgeable about the sights we visited.
