The day trip with Dwipa was truly outstanding and went far beyond what I expected. It was a small group, and he explained so much about Balinese traditions, spirituality, and daily life. It felt more like spending the day with a local friend than with a guide. This tour is perfect for anyone interested in Balinese culture. Thank you, Dwipa.

If you need a great tour guide in Ubud, I highly recommend Sambe. From the very beginning, he made the experience unforgettable. He knows all the highlights and even showed us hidden spots we would never have discovered alone. He shared plenty of helpful tips that made our stay even better. Beyond being knowledgeable, he was incredibly warm and welcoming, which made us feel very comfortable. If you’re exploring Ubud, booking with him is a must.

Monkey Forest and the waterfall were amazing. The drive took longer because of heavy rain the night before and traffic, but the trip ended up being a perfect way to close our holiday in Bali. The Temple and Palace were crowded outside, but once inside it felt calm and peaceful. Truly beautiful. Our guide, Kadek, was excellent—he knew a lot about the area, answered all our questions, and his love for his country really showed.

There wasn’t enough time in the monkey forest, which was disappointing. We also didn’t understand the point of stopping just to have a juice—it felt unnecessary since we prefer visiting sights and nature. The rice field stop wasn’t very interesting either as we had already seen several. The only highlight was the temple. Overall, it was a rather average tour.

Our Ubud tour with Gusde was absolutely outstanding. From the start, he welcomed us warmly, and we felt comfortable and safe the entire time. He answered all our questions with patience and knowledge, and his deep understanding of Balinese culture and religion was fascinating. He shared traditions, stories, and insights we never would have learned otherwise. Another highlight was how flexible he was, adjusting the tour to our interests. If you want an authentic and relaxed experience in Ubud, Gusde is the perfect guide.

Everything about the tour was amazing, but the communication about traffic could have been better. Our pickup was meant for 8:30 a.m., but the driver didn’t arrive until 11 due to traffic. Since this is a common issue, I think it should be explained to travelers beforehand so we can plan better.
