About this tour
A nine-to-eleven hour private guided tour through Ubud that strings together the region's cultural landmarks, artistic villages, and natural landmarks. You'll watch traditional Barong dance, move through the Sacred Monkey Forest with its resident macaques, trek the sculpted rice paddies at Tegalalang, inspect wood-carving workshops in Mas, navigate a working local market, visit the spring-fed temple at Tirta Empul, and finish at Tegenungan Waterfall. Private transport and driver included; admission fees covered depending on selections.

What to expect
Your driver collects you at a set time and navigates Ubud's roads at a pace that lets you stop, observe, and absorb. You'll spend 20–40 minutes at each major site depending on interest. The dance performance is scheduled and runs about an hour; the monkey forest requires alertness and closed bags (they steal). Market browsing is unhurried; Mas village visits involve watching craftspeople at work, not high-pressure sales. Temples are active places of worship, so modest dress helps. The waterfall is a natural pool—bring swimmers. Midday heat is intense; your AC vehicle doubles as a rest spot.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and sun protection. The itinerary is flexible; tell your guide what interests you most and what you'd skip. Lunch isn't included but your driver knows quiet warungs. Monkeys in the sanctuary are wild and territorial—follow the guide's rules. Modest clothing required at temples. Bring cash for optional add-ons like the jungle swing.
