What to expect
Wander in paradise as you explore the culturally rich town of Ubud! Conveniently start your tour with a hotel pick up and prepare to be amazed at your first stop: the Art Village that showcases genuine Balinese wares, arts, and crafts. Purchase your souvenirs and bring a piece of Bali with you before heading to Pulina Coffee Plantation for a sip of authentic Balinese coffee. Try out the most expensive coffee in the world—Kopi Luwak—and more exquisite brews locally made from all over Indonesia! If you’re up for the challenge, take the plunge on the popular Bali Swing and soar above the sprawling Ubud forest. The tour continues with a visit to the Tegalalang Rice Terraces. Witness Bali’s famous rice paddies, beautifully terraced landscapes sloping down across valleys. After seeing the spectacular vista, you'll have free time to shop and eat some more. By 3:00pm, arrive at Ubud Monkey Forest, home to over 700 Balinese long-tailed monkeys! Enter a sanctuary of temples, walk around the amazing nature reserve, and even interact with the monkeys by feeding them bananas. Finally, drop by Gao Gajah, also known as the Elephant Cave. Dating back to the 11th century, this mysterious cultural treasure features Hindu and Buddhist imagery and ancient bathing temples! After a day of immersing yourself in the cultural heart of Bali, return safely at your hotel courtesy of round trip transfer services.




Reviews
A big thank you to Adi, our driver and guide! I thought it would be a group tour when I met up with Adi, but it turned out to be a solo tour, which I felt a little bad about. He even asked if I was interested in visiting a batik workshop, which wasn't on the itinerary, and took me there. I had heard that the roads in Bali can get congested. Adi avoided the traffic by taking alternative routes, and while we skipped the center of Ubud, I had a great time overall. He explained the history along the way using easy-to-understand English words, which was very informative. At Goa Gajah, we miraculously encountered a ceremony that only happens a few times a year, and he told me how lucky I was to see it. The souvenir shop we stopped at last had much better prices than the ones where I had already bought some things, so it might be a good idea to buy most of your souvenirs there. I would definitely join this tour again next time!
it was a well organised tour. the tour guide and driver were punctual, nice and polite. we went to the art village and Monkey Forest. it rained when we reached the rice terraces but luckily it stopped after awhile. it was a nice experience over all.
We enjoyed chatting with the tour guide ans learning about the day to day lives in Bali. The Silver factory gallery was huge with lots of pretty pieces and sculptures. The factory tour was brief but interesting. We then went to the Batik gallery for a brief explanation of the process and then walked around the gallery and shop to see the clothing and prints. The coffee plantation was nice and relaxing to have a taste of their tees and Luwak coffee and then off to Aloha Swings which was strangely a blast and not sure how we spent so much time there. We gave the rice fields a miss due to time and went straight to the Sacred Monkey Forrest Sanctuary which was a pretty and fun watching the monkeys interact.
Thank you for the tour, we enjoyed everything very much, especially the Rice Terraces and the Monkey Forest. Special thanks to the guide for the comfortable trip and accompaniment.
My driver Kaderu was fantastic, very friendly, had great English and was a very safe and efficient driver. Highly recommend!
He was so kind and understanding! Even though we spent lots of time than he said, he understood. I was satisfied with this tour:)
I also went to Yanyan Silver, which sells silver products, and a place that sells woodcraft products. I bought it because I wanted to buy it lol It was rather comfortable because he talked to me moderately (I was tired of constantly talking on other tours) The place where I had lunch was also delicious! Luwak Coffee was also the first time I went here, and I went again later. The place the driver took me to was a bit cheaper than other places. It costs Tegalalang and Monkey Forest to take pictures, so prepare some money. For Tegalalang Bali Swing, don't go to the place the driver is affiliated with..! that's prettier We said no, but it went up to the top because it was pretty, but the driver asked how much we paid. Seeing the price, it seems that the place connected to the driver is more expensive haha (located in the upper part, the driver is in the middle with less beautiful non-views) expected) I think I will use Klook again
The trip was wonderfully organised. We had enough time to enjoy every site. Our guide was very engaging.
Our driver Putu Erman is very accomodating and kind. He always assist us to every destination before entering the place. He also gave us a choice if we want to go to Art Village and we said go to Ubud Market instead. It's really a fun and great tour for us three.
our driver was so lovely his name was Gusti!!! he gave us lots of information about bali and was patiently waiting for us each time we finished at one venue. the tour it self was so incredible we lived every minute of it
