Cooking Class in Ubud with Visit to Monkey Forest and Rice Terrace

I was with Butu Guide. It was completely informative and fun! I was worried that it would be awkward and difficult to apply alone, but there was no need to worry! He talked to me well, told me what I needed, and even lent me an umbrella when it was pouring rain. The tour course was a local market tour and cooking class (the guide only drove me to the place, and I proceeded with the teacher and other students. I ended up cooking a variety of dishes, which was much more informative than what I have done in Korea!) - Tegalalang Rice Terrace (the guide went in with me and explained the types of rice, how to use the waterways, and took pictures!) - Coffee Plantation (Since I said I had never had Luwak coffee, he took me there because it was close, even though it wasn't originally on the course!! There was a separate guide here, so I listened to the explanation and bought a cup of Luwak coffee and came out!) - Monkey Forest (He just dropped me off and I went in and came out alone). It was informative and fun, and it was even better because I was able to solve all my questions while riding around alone! If you're wondering what to do in Ubud, I highly recommend it!

What an amazing day! My family and I had a fabulous day being driven around by our fantastic driver Wayan, he was full of information and happy to answer my hundreds of questions. The cooking class was absolutely wonderful and in the middle of rice paddies, it couldn’t have been more perfect! The food was delicious and the class was very informative and 100% hands on. The monkey forest was so much fun and to have Wayan walk us around and look after us was so great. The rice terrace was an absolute dream, it’s such an unbelievably beautiful place and thanks to our driver we have some gorgeous photos. I would highly recommend this tour and our driver.

We had an amazing time on this trip! Our driver Otto was great company; knowledgable and had fun with our kids. The cooking class was excellent, the monkey forest was good fun and the rice fields were just beautiful. If you want to go on the swings at the rice fields to get some photos it gets you a brilliant pic but is pricey. The only thing about the trip that could be better was the cooking class states it is for all ages, but we had a 6 and 8 year old with us and our youngest struggled to see sometimes. We had to pick her up a lot so a small step would be useful for other families with small children.

Darma was our driver for the day and he was fab. An early start to the morning market to see where food was purchased for our cooking class. We drove a little distance from that point to the cooking class location which had rice fields surrounding it. We were greeted with a gingery drink which was a lovely touch. We made so many Indonesian dishes, was great to see how to prep these too. We all loved it including my 11year old daughter. We skipped the rice terraces as we did that the previous day and ended our day at Ubud Monkey forest. Darma advised us these monkeys were better behaved until the ones in Uluwatu and that is because they are fed regularly by the zoo wardens- such a beautiful jungle to walk around in.

Wayan, our driver and guide was wonderful! He was on time, took the time to explain the culture during the drive, and accommodated our requests. We most especially liked how he really tried to help us find some medicine after the tour since my husband was feeling unwell. The cooking class was also fun and well worth it!

what a wonderful experience! Darma, the driver, picked us up at hotel lobby as was confirmed prior via WhatsApp. Cooking class was awesome and fun with a group of ppl from all over the globe. Food was amazing! Follwing this very local experience, we headed to the rice field and monkey forest, some of the must-sees in Ubud. the day was filled with both local and tourist-must experiences, a good combination. Darma was also so kind to share lots of local culture and super knowledgeable. I learned so much that I wouldn’t have from a tour book. Thank you, Darma! Highly recommended!

was a Funtastic experience learning cooking with the locals. The driver Riko was excellent in taking us everywhere, guiding to each venue, taking photos. I will recommend him strongly to our friends and family to use his services.

Wonderful day trip to ubud for the market tour and Cooking class. Our driver, Saur was prompt for pick up, helped us take photos and brought us around the rice fields. Thanks for the warm hospitality and lovely time in Bali.

Amazing experience, we had fun the entire day with our driver, Putu. the cooking class was amazing and tasty, the rice fields were breathtaking and the monkey forest was beautiful, we definitely recommend, also he was very friendly and his English was very good. overall 10/10 experience.

Every part of this tour was amazing, made special by Putu (our guide). The cooking class was informative, engaging and delicious! The monkey tour and rice terraces were beautiful to explore. Putu gave us an experience like no other! He was more than willing to answer any of our questions and share the history and authenticity of the Ubud area. He also gave us excellent advice and tips on what to explore and look out for when in these areas for future travels. His knowledge of the roads and safety maintained while driving were impeccable and I highly recommend him to anyone taking this tour :) Thank you Putu!
