5Unforgettable Family Day Trip
Gede was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a big day (pick up was 8:15am and we got back at 7:30pm - but this was our choice, you can do less if you want) and he looked after us very well from start to finish. The art markets/shops he took us to were interesting, not overcrowded and good value, we all found items we liked and enjoyed watching the artists at work; the silversmith was my favourite. We really liked the restaurant and table Gede booked for our lunch. We were literally sat over a massive fish pond and overlooking rice paddies. It felt extra special! Gede gave us fish food so the kids were entertained while we waited for our own meals. Such a lovely spot! Gede has great video skills and knew how to take great pictures of us with the monkeys in Ubud Monkey Forest. Thank you Gede, we have fantastic memories and would all recommend and book a tour with you again.
5Great experience
Booking our first private tour made us a little anxious since we’re both pretty shy, but yesterday ended up being absolutely wonderful. We worried it might be awkward, but our guide, Raka, completely put us at ease. He is incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming, yet he knew exactly when to step back and give us space to wander around the rice terraces and the waterfall on our own. We never felt rushed at any point. It was such a laid-back, stress-free experience, and we truly loved our day. We highly recommend booking this tour!
5Overall great experience!
We had a great time yesterday! This was our first experience with a private tour, and as we’re both quite shy and not very talkative, we were a little worried it might feel awkward. However, everything turned out better than expected. Our guide, Raka, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and open, while also giving us plenty of space to explore the rice fields and waterfall on our own. He made us feel comfortable and never rushed, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. We really enjoyed our day and would definitely recommend Raka!

5Incredible guide and incredible tour!
Our guide, Oka, was phenomenal. Incredibly knowledgeable of the area, friendly, and funny! Truly made this tour one of a kind. I would highly recommend anyone who books this tour ask for Oka. The tour itself is spectacular and you get to see so much of Ubud and experience the culture of the area. No notes, book it!
