Accessibility: As our walking tours take place around historic landmarks, there are aspects of our tours that we are unable to alter. These include uneven temple stairs, steep gradients and patchy sidewalks. Guests should be physically capable of climbing steps and prepared to walk around an urban environment for up to 3 hours. Weather: There will be times where the weather may affect the tour start time. We operate rain or shine but if the conditions are severe, such as an intense downpour, we’ll call you before the start. Consider this part of your Bali adventure! Environmental Commitment: We want to do our part and decrease the plastic in Bali’s rivers. Please bring a reusable bottle for water refills.

Standing outside Ubud's oldest temple, we’ll learn about the arrival of Hinduism in Bali, while exploring the architectural features and community significance of Balinese temples.
This modest bridge, dating back to the Dutch colonial era, offers insight into Indonesia's complex history. Here, we'll discuss the Dutch East India Company's role in colonization and how the Dutch encouraged the first wave of tourism in Bali.
At Ubud's oldest art museum, we'll explore the important collaboration between 20th-century Balinese and Western artists. This cultural exchange played a crucial role in establishing Ubud's reputation as an arts center. After examining a few pieces of the pre-World War II Balinese art collection, we'll take a short break for refreshments.
Step into the outer courtyards of the Ubud Royal Palace where we’ll uncover the historical and modern roles of Balinese royalty, while learning about palace architecture and traditional cremation rituals.
Enjoy exclusive access to the palace of Tjokorde Gede Raka Sukawati, the Prince of Ubud, who played a pivotal role in shaping Ubud into what it is today and is the co-founder of the Pitamaha Foundation. In this palace, you'll learn about traditional Balinese compound layouts.

I like doing walking tour whenever I travel. Really helps to understand culture and gives you a good idea on where you’d like to explore more moving on. Such a pleasant experience with our tour guide Ira too, it really helped me to appreciate Ubud and Bali in deeper level
Really interesting walking tour of Ubud. Ari was an excellent guide offering a genuine insight into Balinese life, culture and history. Thoroughly recommend!
I highly recommend the Ubud past to present walking tour with Ira. She makes the tour very fun, you learn a lot about history of Ubud and Bali, and she has great suggestions for what else to do.
We loved the experience! We highly recommend it to learn more about Ubud, culture, and religion. 100% recommended, especially at the beginning of the trip, to have a better understanding of the destination during the rest of the trip.
Couldnt recommend ubud story walks more! I had Ira as my tour guide and she was amazing. I learnt so much from her and we had so much fun together. Thanks so much Ira it was the highlight of my trip 🙏🏼
A wonderful tour to learn more about the history of Ubud and Bali. Our guide Joe was fantastic. He knew how to tell everything clearly and enjoyably. It was an educational and pleasant morning overall.
A wonderful introduction to Ubud! Our guide Ira was very knowledgeable and friendly. She patiently and expertly answered many questions and the content of the tour was great. I learned so much about Ubud and Balinese culture, it was great context for day 1 of a vacation in Bali. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful tour with Ira and Linda. They were knowledgeable and personable. We learned a lot and had a great time. Ubud Story Walks is locally owned by a Balinese woman - a great small business to support.
Had a wonderful time. Our guide, Joe, was very knowledgeable and personable. He took time to get to know each person in our group. The tour was very well organized. We took advantage of the tour card to go back and visit the Modern Art museum again.
Great guided tour with Ira, a local with great insights to share and very good English. Our group of 7 had the tour to ourselves, and felt very well looked after. We went to some lovely quiet spots with beautiful gardens, and had a lovely snack sitting in the shade and hearing about the local customs. Final spot was the Royal Palace gardens which are very quiet and lovely. It was a shock after the trip to be in the busy main road with all the crowds!
