Ubud is Bali’s cultural heart—home to iconic temples, jungle waterfalls, rice terraces, and artisan villages—but fitting it all into one day can be difficult without a plan. Make it easy with a private tour in your own air-conditioned vehicle, led by an English-speaking driver/guide who manages the route, timing, and stops.
Choose the option that matches your style: go with entrance fees included, choose a lower-cost option without entrance fees, or select Custom Itinerary (Feel free to discuss) to tailor the day while keeping private transport and guidance.

5.00Adi was amazing! So much knowledge about the local culture and area! He was a great conversationalist all day and a gentleman to boot! The sites were amazing but Adi my tour guide was the highlight! I’m sure he’s still laughing about the ginger tea!
Excellent experience

5.00We had an excellent time touring around Ubud with Gusti. He's really knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the area. The locations we visited were beautiful and our dinner in a peaceful restaurant next to some rice fields was the ideal ending to a day full of things to do and see. Really appreciated Gusti going out of his way amidst very heavy carnival traffic to ensure we got back to our hotel at the end of the day too. Highly recommend - thank you!
Nice mix of culture, nature, and local spots

5.00Had a lovely day exploring Ubud with Kadek as our driver. He was polite, easy to talk to, and gave us the space to enjoy each place at our own pace. Really appreciated that he wasn’t pushy like some tour drivers can be. We started at the rice terrace in the morning, when it was still quiet and cool great time for photos and just walking around. After that, we visited a small temple, which felt peaceful and not too touristy. Lunch was at a simple local place with tasty food, then we went to a beautiful waterfall for a short break before heading to the Monkey Forest in the afternoon. The monkeys were wild but fun to watch. Overall, it was a relaxed and well balanced day. Big thanks to Kadek for making it comfortable and easy.
Great experience, relaxed and well organized

5.00Spent the day exploring some beautiful places around Ubud. Our driver, Aris, was really calm and professional. Not overly talkative, but helpful when we had questions and gave us tips at each stop. We started off with a visit to a peaceful temple early in the morning barely any people, which made it even more special. Then we went to a lovely waterfall where we could take our time and enjoy the view. Later, we had lunch overlooking rice fields (very scenic), then continued to the Monkey Forest, which was fun and a bit chaotic in a good way. Aris was always waiting nearby and kept things running smoothly without rushing us. Everything felt well paced, not too packed. Thanks Aris for a nice and easy day around Ubud

5.00Our Best of Ubud Private Day Tour with All Inclusive was fantastic. The scenery was beautiful and we really enjoyed learning about the culture and history of Bali. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable - Komang was our guide and he was great! The Tegalalang Rice Terrace was definitely a highlight of the tour for us. Lunch was also very tasty. Highly recommend this tour!
