A fun day out. Our driver was very friendly and jovial and we loved being driven around in a cool car. I would say though that it’s more a driver and car than a tour guide. We got driven to the sights and then left to our own devices with no direction or history of the places. Overall I wish we had just hired a driver for the day locally as it would have been much cheaper for the same experience and most of the places we went had a very low, or free entrance fee, so very hard to justify the $220 fee (for two of us). The driver was lovely though and we had a nice lunch and was fun, but wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to others.

Itinerary
Tegenungan Waterfall is one of the famous places of interest in Bali, the beauty of the waterfall does not only become an attraction for domestic or foreign tourists, local people also often visit this waterfall. To get to Tegenungan Waterfall you have to go down 172 stairs. Along the way, you will find a public bath used by local people which is divided into two separate areas, for men and women. The water source of this public bath is very clear and clean, here you can also find Beji temple for self purifying. The residents of Tegenungan, under the supervision of the local banjar, manage this waterfall.
Tegalalang Rice Terrace which according to history, was passed down by a revered holy man named Rsi Markandeya in the eighth century. Tegalalang forms the three most splendid terraced landscapes in Ubud shared region, with the others being in the villages of Pejeng and Campuhan. Tegalalang Rice Terrace alone has an outlook that spreads down before you and away to the rice terraces on the slopes across the valley.
Goa Gajah Temple or Elephant Cave Temple is an archaeological site of significant historical value that makes it a special place to visit. Goa Gajah Temple dates back to the 11th century, built as a spiritual place for meditation. The main grounds are down a flight of steps from the roadside and parking area, which is lined with various art and souvenir shops and refreshment kiosks. Upon reaching the base you will come across a large wantilan or meeting hall and an assortment of large old stone carvings, some restored to their former full glory.
Ubud Monkey Forest occupies 27 lush, green acres at the lower end of Jalan Monkey Forest in the village of Padangtegal. Home to over 400 long tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) which are divided into 4 groups that occupy different areas of the park, it is an important cultural and spiritual site that welcomes upwards of 10,000 visitors each month. The Monkey Forest Sanctuary is actually owned and operated by the village of Padangtegal, with village members serving on a governing council that seeks to uphold the integrity of the grounds while promoting it as a tourist destination.
Ubud Royal Palace or Puri Saren Ubud is one of the most prominent places in Ubud, as it is smack dab on the main Jalan Raya Ubud road and intersection. The palace can also be regarded as the focal landmark of Ubud. The Ubud palace was built during the lordship of the late Ida Tjokorda Putu Kandel (1800-1823) and is well kept by his successive heirs. A visit to the Puri Saren is on many of the itineraries to the Ubud area.
The items that you can buy at the Ubud Art Market are all kinds of knick-knacks, very beautiful art tools, various handicrafts made of wood, rattan, and others. And there are also art items in the form of paintings and silver that are sold here with very good quality items. If you could say that the handicrafts sold here are very complete and each shop sells different items so you can freely walk around the complex of this Ubud Art Market, from one shop to another to hunt for handicrafts and souvenirs.

Fantastic day out and our driver was so good ! Long drive home though which made for a tiring afternoon- but our driver was doing his absolute best to get us back as fast as he could Great day
this was amazing!! our driver was awesome and we even got to stop at a luwak coffee plantation. 10/10 experience got to see so much of bali in one day!
My wife and I had a fantastic day exploring around Ubud. Our driver was very knowledgeable of local places and was very open to customizing our trip to make the day extra enjoyable for us. Thank you Eddy!
We booked the Ubud VW Private Tour, and it was such a fun and relaxing way to explore Ubud! My husband and I were picked up right from our hotel and visited the Tegalalang Rice Terrace, a waterfall, the Monkey Sanctuary, and the Ubud Market. All entrance fees were included, which made everything seamless. There were optional extras like the Bali swings and ziplining at the rice terrace for an additional cost. Lunch was also included at a beautiful restaurant with scenic views, and it ended up being some of the best food we had during our entire trip. Our driver was very kind and accommodating, letting us spend as much time as we wanted at each stop, which made the day feel relaxed and unrushed. Just note that this experience is more of a private driver tour than a guided tour — the driver doesn’t provide commentary but handles all logistics perfectly. Overall, a smooth, enjoyable day and a great way to see Ubud’s highlights at your own pace!
We had an excellent time! Special thanks to Dewa our driver, he was great fun. We had lots of rain to start but Dewa was well prepared and it was actually all part of the experience. The car does have a roof so we did not get soaked. Once the sun came out the roof came down and we got to enjoy the cool breeze and scenic views. The stops were brilliant with lots to see and explore. If you want to see lots of items on your list in one easy day then this is ideal. Would definitely recommend.
Great driver, great car. Everyone watching us arriving. If you want to experience Ubud properly this agency is for you. The driver will show all the places you want to visit or if you don’t know what to visit he will show it to you.
Eddie was fantastic! The car was so cool! Eddie was so knowledgeable, easy going and fun. This tour was great and we would recommend it to anyone. Thanks Eddie!
So fun! Perfect way to see Ubud. Driver let us customize parts of our trips and seemed to know everyone in the area! Would do again.
Excellent car , fun to be in with a great driver Dek/Eddie Will do it again He knew all the places to go and things to see. Butterfly park. Silversmith. Waterfall. Temple. Great place for lunch
MUST Tour for Bali !! Driver was very very Nice and you van enjoy all the Place with enough time. 👍
Ari was the man! So kind and the ride was great. The car was so cool. We had the best time. Definitely recommend. The locations were so cool!
What an awesome day, nothing beats cruising through the hills of Ubud in a classic VW with the top down. Our driver Ari did a fantastic job, nothing was too much trouble for him and he was great to talk to and very knowledgeable about the area. Will definitely be doing this again.
What an amazing day out with our main guy Roger. The fantastic Roger Moore lol was absolutely brilliant, from accommodating our adjusted plans, to giving tips on shopping areas and to be our fantastic photographer. He was just brilliant. He drove safely navigating the tipsy turvy roads of Ubud, we felt safe at all time. A highly recommended tour . The car was obviously ace as well
The waterfall and the incredible views abd swing out over the rice paddies. Ketut our tour guide was very knowledgeable and even though we got caught in a huge downpour we still had a fun day
We had the best time with our guide, Putu! We did this tour early in our stay in Bali and we saw so many memorable things in one day while still enjoying the breeze while we drove and not feeling rushed! Putu had excellent communication when dropping off at each stop and it was always easy to meet him wherever we were via WhatsApp to go to the next stop. We enjoyed having the convertible top on during the heat of the day but took it down as evening approached. The spot he picked for lunch was great with views that couldn’t be beat! So friendly, accommodating and professional- a top notch experience! We are so grateful to have used this company!
We went on a custom tour with the most amazing tour guide: Santano. He knew so much about the island and brought us to more known places and less known places. He also offers to take pictures of you at the right places. We were sad that we couldn’t do another trip with him, because we were out of days in Ubud. But we most definitely recommend this tour! Also the cars look really cool 😎
It was awesome and fabulous road trip. Energised the mood to the fullest. The driver was very helpful and had extreme level of patience.
We had booked a full day tour and it was perfect! Our driver, Ketut with a white volkswagen, was really open, friendly, a great guide and a good driver! He toured us around Ubud, showed us the highlights and gave great tips and explanation on all the stops. We definitely recommend this tour with Ketut!
The experience was great and the guides were awesome. Definitely a must try if anyone plans to visit Ubud.
Highly recommended. We had a blast today. The tour guide was funny and knowledgeable. We will hire him again. Thanks.
We had a fantastic day! Guides were very accommodating and helpful! We missed all the crowds which was fantastic and the top down was so much fun!
The tour was really fun, luckily the weather was on my side is the morning. My guide, Eddie, was really kind and took such great photos for me. Will definitely do this again in Ubud.
Edy was my driver and he picked me up promptly at 8am from my hotel, as stated in the booking. He was super helpful with guiding me around, pointing out interesting facts, responding to my questions about Balinese culture, and suggesting non-touristy places to stop for silver, a coffee tasting, and Batik. As I was traveling alone, he offered to take photos of me at the various places where we stopped. Having everything included (admissions + lunch) made it super convenient and I didn't need to carry a ton of cash with me (both the silver and coffee tasting place took credit cards!). I would highly recommend this unique way to see Bali (it's definitely a head turner and conversation starter!). I loved every stop on the tour - from the waterfall to the rice paddies to the Monkey Forest.
Unser Fahrer hat immer sehr geduldig auf den Parkplätzen auf uns gewartet und wir konnten ihn ganz entspannt per WhatsApp-Call anrufen, wenn er uns abholen sollte. Wir haben uns zu keiner Zeit gestresst gefühlt oder mussten uns an Uhrzeiten halten. Wie durften uns solange wir wollten an den Sehenswürdigkeiten aufhalten. Die einzige zu wünschende Verbesserung wäre, dass der Fahrer mehr über die Sehenswürdigkeiten erzählen würde. Over all: Sehr empfehlenswert!
