★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,451 reviews · from $54Our pick

Spend 8 to 9 hours with a private English-speaking driver-guide visiting Celuk Village, Batuan Temple, Tegenungan Waterfall, Tegalalang Rice Terrace, Monkey Forest, Ubud Market, and Ubud Palace. Guides such as Sudi, Gede, Oka, and Tegeg are praised for local insight, photography help, and flexible pacing.

“The tour guides made the experience worth while. The app it self and the supposed services it provides? Paid for and tried to cancel three tours but was denied a refund. Like I can control traffic and weather. Even funnier if you should want to contact the tour guides they recommend another app to do so, that’s a confidence builder.”

“Our driver Balón was awesome. He adapted to a slower pace with kids as we clearly could not do all 7 stops in 1 day. We went to a smaller monkey Forest where you can walk around with a guide which is less scary for kids especially. I wish we had time to do 1 temple though. Will have to be next time!”
