Review of a private Ubud day tour with rice terraces, monkey forest, temple, waterfall, jungle swing, lunch, and hotel pickup.

“Our driver and tour guide was Dudy. He was very personable and knowlegable. He told us a lot of Balinese culture. And he was great about asking if we wanted family photos in all the locations. Our 1st stop was at Satria Luwak Coffee. Here they gave a tour of all different plants, cocoa, coffee, then there was a tasting session where you were able to taste 13 different teas and coffees. I do not like coffee but they were so good I ended up buying a package to take home! Then we went to the monkey forest. I loved just watching the monkeys some had a stone of sort…”

5.Tanah Lot and North Bali Tour: Scenic Journey

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,620 reviews · from $100

Review of Bali’s private North Bali tour, with Ulun Danu, Banyumala Waterfalls, Jatiluwih rice terraces, and Tanah Lot.

“It was an amazing adventure. Our Guide Wayan was excellent. I loved all the different activities, and to have lunch overlooking the rice terraces was beautiful. My only criticism and concerns for anyone, going to the waterfall, although beautiful, it is NOT for everyone, getting to the falls is quite the journey steep hill walking just to get to the waterfall steps, and the steps down to the waterfall were treacherous, extremely steep, not much of a handrail, once down it was incredible but then you had to walk back up. So word of warning on this.”

Review of East Bali’s Gate of Heaven tour from Ubud, with Lempuyang Temple, Tirta Gangga, Sidemen lunch, photos, and pool access.

“We requested Adi to be our guide for our day 2 in Bali and and experience was amazing as expected. We were picked up on time and got to our destination early enough to get tickets for the Gate of Heaven photo op. The water palace was a nice place to visit and the Sleeping Gajah was the perfect lunch and relaxation/swimming destination. Adi took care of us by driving safely and did not bore us with his trivia and jokes! A real fun person to travel with. I feel like I found a long lost brother in Adi. Highly recommended!”
