★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 556 reviews · from $40Our pick

Review of Bali’s $40 half-day Ubud tour, covering Tegenungan Waterfall, Goa Gajah, Tegalalang Rice Terrace, guides, traffic, and value.

“Unforgettable!!! We changed our tour from a half to a full. Our driver Ketut Ajus adjusted quickly. We appreciate that. Because Ketut is so knowledgeable about Bali, we learned so much about the culture. We went to both typical tourist places and others beyond the normal tourist attractions Ketut showed so much consideration for our needs. We will leave Bali tomorrow but Bali will not leave us. Bali is a special place and made even more so because of our driver and guide - Ketut.”
