Exploring the best of Ubud!

Brilliant tour today with Raka. He was so friendly and welcoming and make us feel comfortable the moment he picked us up. He has very good knowledge on the local area and Balinese traditions which was great. Took us on our itinerary’ which included temples, Wood carving workshop,waterfall, monkey forest, Art market and rice paddy which were all amazing. He made great photo opportunities and took loads of great videos and photos for us. He even stopped off at a coffee plantation where we tried a variety of balinese coffee which was incredible. The lunch stop off was also divine! Would highly recommend!! Thanks so much for giving us the best day. ☺️

Ubud tour with Raka

Booked a tour of Ubud for the day, our guide, Raka was extremely friendly & throughout the whole day had us laughing. Visited woodwork village, temple, waterfall at tenganan, monkey forest, tegallong rice fields, coffee plantation & had some time in the market place at Ubud. We found Raka to be very knowledgeable at all these locations & he had a great rapport with staff at all these locations sites which helped make the tour feel relaxed. We paid £70-£79 for the tour & it was definitely value for money! Would definitely recommend to anyone to get this tour!

We had a great time in a Ubdo Tour with Mudana and Yuri. They flexibly accommodated our wishes, making for a wonderful one-day tour. Our driver, Mudana, and our guide, Yuri, both showed wonderful hospitality; they were fluent in both Japanese and English and provided clear, easy-to-understand explanations. Thank you. 運転手のMudanaさん、ガイドのYuriさんと素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。我々の希望を柔軟に受け入れてくれ、素晴らしい一日ツアーになりました。二人とも素晴らしいホスピたりティーを与えてくれ、彼らは日本語も英語も上手で、わかりやすい説明をしてくれました。ありがとう。

Amazing Ubud tour

This has got to be one of the best guided tours out there. I went with Rio and his extensive knowledge of the area, the country and the culture was amazing. He explained things in great detail. We had wide ranging discussions on multiple subjects. Saw temples, the monkey forest, waterfalls and rice fields. As an extra bonus, the pictures we great. Would highly recommend

Perfect day!

We had an absolutely amazing experience with our tour guide, Gede! From the very beginning, he was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made us feel completely at ease. His knowledge of Bali, its culture, history, and hidden gems was truly impressive, and he shared everything with so much passion and enthusiasm. Gede also turned out to be a fantastic photographer! He knew all the best spots and angles and captured so many beautiful memories for us that we’ll treasure forever. On top of that, he was genuinely hilarious and kept us laughing throughout the day. His great sense of humour, warm personality, and positive energy made our day even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and all-around amazing guide in Bali, we can’t recommend Gede highly enough. Thank you for an unforgettable day, Gede!
