We bought this excursion thinking we were getting explanations and details about the place we were visiting. We did not. Our driver was incredibly friendly but once we arrived at the planned locations we all 3 just got out. There wasn’t much guidance on where to go and what we were looking at. At the elephant cave, we were bombarded by people trying to sell us stuff. We asked our guide if we “needed” what she was selling to get into the temple and he shrugged his shoulders. Luckily we declined and they had things we needed for free to enter the temple. We actually cut our day short becaruse it was pretty long which could be a good or bad thing. Our guide was super understanding though and shuttled us back to Kuta. He was an incredibly nice person, like I said above, just not an incredible tour guide. The locations and such within the tour are all traditional when comparing other Ubud excursions.

We had an amazing cultural tour around Bali with our driver Puta who made sure we were always happy and well informed on every location. He spoke perfect English and took lots of photos for us. We ended up getting engaged at the rice terraces and Puta recorded the whole thing for us. We definitely recommend this tour.

one of the must do trips - an excellent tour program combining a spot of shopping with temple visits and agri tourism all in a day but the best part is the tour guide / partner - very knowledgable on local history and traditions and an excellent guide !!

We loved the tour. If you do it and you don't feel like buying in the markets, ask for them not to take you to tourist traps, as there are a lot of places they could take you. The driver took us to many beautiful temples, to the incredible rice terraces, the monkey sanctuary and even to a volcano. If you want to say you visited Bali, this tour is a must. Also, you should plan to go to the Ulun Danu temple another day. Bali is amazing.

Stopped at a dormant volcano site for lunch. Great view. View of current active volcano from the site was obstructed by clouds. Local temple tours were interesting as locals were preparing for a religious festival.
