★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7,160 reviews · from $31Our pick

Private Ubud day trip with Monkey Forest, jungle swing, rice terraces, Tirta Empul Temple, and Tegenungan Waterfall plus pickup.

“Amazing experience with Mr. Adik. He was very punctual, polite and professional. He went out of the way to show us wood carving manufacturing place and hand made paintings shop on the way to Ubud. He explained about the places we visited and made our trip very enjoyable one. I was travelling with my elderly father and he made sure my father feels comfortable during the trip. I would love to repeat him as our driver/guide for the future trips to Indonesia as well.”

He was caring, helpful and took the best pictures, explained a lot about Balinese culture and played really good music in the car. It was such a vibe with him and we felt like we were traveling with a friend, not just a guide. His name is Prat and he is just the best. We promised him, that the next year we come we'll have to hit him up for another tour! We would love to take…”

Highly recommend this experience and especially Bubbs as a driver!!!!”
