The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a nature reserve and temple complex in Ubud, Bali, home to over 1260 long-tailed macaques.
Tegallalang Rice Terrace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Bali, Indonesia that features terraced rice paddies and scenic views. It's also known as Tegallalang Rice Fields or Ubud Rice Fields.
The Tirta Empul Holy Water Temple is located in the village of Manukaya, near the town of Tampaksiring, not far from Ubud, in the Gianyar Regency, the cultural heart of Bali. The temple is situated just below the Presidential Palace of Tampaksiring. Built-in 1957 by Indonesia's first president, Soekarno, the beautifully built palace itself is an important landmark of the island and the country. Together with the Presidential Palace, the Tirta Empul Holy Water Temple provides some of the most fascinating views you will ever see. As a petirtaan or bathing center, Tirta Empul is quite a large temple complex and it takes at least 30 minutes to an hour to explore the entire site. Just as at other temples and sacred sites around the island, you will need to put on a 'sarong' before entering the premises. The sarongs are available at the temple's entrance and can be rented for a small donation.

This was a great, well balanced and paced tour taking in the highlights of the Ubud region in Bali. The half day tour included four diversified locations, starting with the Monkey Forest right at feeding time, followed by the majestic rice terraces. We then continued to a local and serene Ubud temple finishing with a visit to a coffee plantation complete with free tastings of 14 varieties of coffee and tea. We then stopped for lunch at an atmospheric restaurant overlooking rice fields. The tour company, Bali Local Host, was very easy to communicate with and my assigned tour guide, Esa, was excellent. He is youthful and cheerful, always with a smile, and very knowledgeable about Bali and all the locations we visited. He speaks excellent English and is fun and easy to talk to. I would love to have Esa as my guide on any future tour. The tour began at 8am from my hotel in Seminyak and I was dropped off at about 2.30pm, leaving the afternoon free to relax and explore. This was the perfect schedule for my plans. I highly recommend booking this tour if you plan on visiting Bali and would like a cultural experience.
Esa was a fantastic guide for this tour, he told us so much about everywhere we visited and answered all of our questions. Along the way he also told us lots of interesting facts about Balinese culture. The traffic is intense but Esa was such a competent driver we felt safe all the time. Highlights of this trip - all of it, the Holy Water temple, Monkey forest, rice terrace and Lewak coffee tasting.
Esa was our driver and it was a fantastic day in Bali.

We had an amazing time exploring Bali with our guide. He is very knowledgeable about the island and shared so many interesting facts and local insights with us. He always made sure we had the best experience, was incredibly kind and helpful, and even assisted us with organizing other tours and activities. His English is really good, communication was always easy, and his passion for his job really shines through. We would definitely book another tour with him and highly recommend him to anyone visiting Bali!
It was a truly unique and unforgettable experience for us. Our guide knows so much about Bali and took us to the most beautiful spots. He was always incredibly friendly, helpful, and happy to assist us with booking trips and activities. He speaks really good English and genuinely enjoys what he does, which made every moment of the tour even more special. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Bali!
I am so happy we booked with this company!! Esa was on time, very communicative, and fun to spend the day with. He took us to the sites, and as a Bali native, was great at explaining and answering questions. He took plenty of pictures for us - something we tend to lack getting while traveling. His car was clean, had AC, and in great condition.
The activities on this tour were all interesting and fun. Esa, our guide, picked us up in a comfortable car and was very friendly and knowledgeable. He even offered options to add on a coffee plantation stop and a stop for lunch. We had a great day, this activities and length of this tour were perfect. Highly recommend!
We love our tour with Essa. He was early at pick up and so kind about waiting several minutes for us. His car has great AC and is new - very comfortable. He takes fantastic pictures and knows the best spots for them. We really wanted 1/2 day option so this perfect and we felt like we got to see a lot. We especially LOVED monkey forest. Plus the rice terraces we went to weren't crowded which was fantastic! Highly recommend!
