We were also very impressed with our guide, Asmara. He was incredibly patient with us. We weren’t in the best shape for the tour, and it ended up taking us nearly three hours to climb instead of the usual two.

We were fortunate enough to have two full days of touring with Yande, our driver, starting from Ubud, and they turned out to be the best days of our three week trip to Bali. He helped us design an excellent itinerary that took us off the beaten path, up to the lakes, volcanic parks, and more. The absolute highlight was visiting the Mother Temple at Besakih, the largest temple in Bali. It was about a two hour drive from Ubud, but it was well worth it. The temple was breathtaking an expansive hillside complex stretching up into the sky with very few tourists.

Helpful? Yes

We visited some incredible places in a comfortable car, including Monkey Forest, a coffee plantation, the rice terraces, the Holy Water Temple, and a waterfall that wasn’t initially on the itinerary.

It was truly a fantastic experience.

This is a trip I highly recommend. The views of Ubud and the surrounding areas are absolutely stunning. Some of my favorite spots were the monkey forest and the volcano viewpoints. The monkey forest is well maintained, and we had no issues with the monkeys, as long as we followed the rules. The views of the volcano were breathtaking pictures can’t truly capture its beauty. My driver, Peter, was very pleasant and professional. He made an excellent guide, sharing plenty of local knowledge. I would definitely book with this company again, and I’m considering the waterfalls tour next time.

We were picked up from the hotel on time, and then Bagus drove us to Ubud. During the journey, he shared so many things with us that we had never known before. He’s such a great tour guide fun, friendly, and very patient. More tour guides like him should definitely be hired. If I could rate him, I’d give him more than 8 stars. Thank you, Bagus!

We had a fantastic day tour with our driver and guide, Ma de. He picked us up early from our hotel, and we visited the monkey forest, temples, coffee plantation, and had lunch at a beautiful restaurant with breathtaking views of Volcano and Lake Batur. We also stopped at the stunning rice terraces, which offered something for everyone. I was in awe of the natural beauty, but those a bit younger enjoyed the swings, zip lines, and even a tandem bicycle that you could ride across the cables above the gorgeous gorge and back again.

Helpful? Yes

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but our driver and guide made this day truly special. Not only was he an expert driver and highly knowledgeable guide (more than I expected), but he was also a pleasure to spend the day with and a true ambassador of the wonderful Balinese people. We’ve already booked him again for a half-day tour tomorrow to visit some local silversmiths in a different direction.

Helpful? Yes

If you’re unsure about what to do while in Bali, I can’t recommend the Ubud tour enough, especially with Kantun from Hire a Bali Driver. We felt completely safe, and Kantun’s knowledge of the local area was incredible. We highly recommend Hire a Bali Driver be sure to ask for Kantun.
