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.”

Bali: Ubud Palace Legong Dance Show Ticket

5.Ubud Palace Legong Dance Show Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,979 reviews · 1h 30m · from $6Best value

Head to Ubud Palace for a 90-minute Legong Kraton performance by young Balinese dancers. Expect precise gestures, elaborate gold costumes, gamelan music, and an old royal tale. Arrive 45 to 75 minutes early for a better seat, since the outdoor venue fills quickly.

“The show was very interesting. It’s good to know that Balinese music is quite unique and specific, so it might not be for everyone’s taste, but overall it was a beautiful cultural experience and I’m really glad we went.”

“Our driver Agnush was wonderful, very informative on our drive about the different areas we were travelling through on our way to Ulawatu. We felt at ease as he navigated through the busy traffic and also knew a couple of clever short cuts. He guided us through the temple and was our protector from the monkeys as we walked around. The Kecack dance was wonderful to watch as the sun was setting in the background amidst the full house of people there to enjoy the same experience. After the show Agnush was waiting for us exactly where he said and would be and easy to find in the sea of…”

13.Bali Private Car Hire with Driver

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,061 reviews · from $25

Hire a private air-conditioned car or minivan for up to 10 hours and shape your own Bali day with an English-speaking chauffeur. Drivers such as Troy, Oka, Gede, and Adi have helped plan routes around Ubud, temples, waterfalls, beaches, and rice terraces, with pickup from hotels, ports, or airports.

“Spent the day with Oka, who was such a nice and helpful guide. He took so many photos of us, which I really appreciated! Before the tour, I was a bit concerned about whether we’d actually get to see all the spots listed in the itinerary. The list is very long, and realistically, you won’t see everything in one day. My advice: choose 5–7 must-see locations and show them to your driver right when you get in the car. Oka was upfront about what was doable, which helped set realistic expectations. Bali traffic is truly a challenge—going just 7 miles can take up to 2 hours (and this is coming…”
