Highlights
Accessibility: As our walking tours take place around historic landmarks, there are aspects of our tours that we are unable to alter. These include uneven temple stairs, steep gradients and patchy sidewalks. Guests should be physically capable of climbing steps and prepared to walk around an urban environment for up to 3 hours. Weather: There will be times where the weather may affect the tour start time. We operate rain or shine but if the conditions are severe, such as an intense downpour, we’ll call you before the start. Consider this part of your Bali adventure! Environmental Commitment: We want to do our part and decrease the plastic in Bali’s rivers. Please bring a reusable bottle for water refills.

Itinerary
Standing outside Ubud's oldest temple, we’ll learn about the arrival of Hinduism in Bali, while exploring the architectural features and community significance of Balinese temples.
This modest bridge, dating back to the Dutch colonial era, offers insight into Indonesia's complex history. Here, we'll discuss the Dutch East India Company's role in colonization and how the Dutch encouraged the first wave of tourism in Bali.
At Ubud's oldest art museum, we'll explore the important collaboration between 20th-century Balinese and Western artists. This cultural exchange played a crucial role in establishing Ubud's reputation as an arts center. After examining a few pieces of the pre-World War II Balinese art collection, we'll take a short break for refreshments.
Step into the outer courtyards of the Ubud Royal Palace where we’ll uncover the historical and modern roles of Balinese royalty, while learning about palace architecture and traditional cremation rituals.
Enjoy exclusive access to the palace of Tjokorde Gede Raka Sukawati, the Prince of Ubud, who played a pivotal role in shaping Ubud into what it is today and is the co-founder of the Pitamaha Foundation. In this palace, you'll learn about traditional Balinese compound layouts.

About Ubud
Ubud is Bali's cultural heart, a town of temples, craft villages and dance set among rice terraces and river gorges in the island's green uplands.
The town centres on the Ubud Palace and the busy market opposite, with traditional dance performed in temple courtyards in the evenings. Saraswati Temple's lotus ponds sit just off the main road, and the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary shelters long-tailed macaques among moss-covered shrines and giant banyan trees.
Top-ranked sights in Ubud: Tegalalang Rice Terrace (Sawah Terasering Tegalalang), Tegenungan Waterfall (Air Terjun Tegenungan), Tirta Empul Temple (Pura Tirta Empul).
