The tour was exactly as described with a very thoughtful, friendly and funny guide! Chris speaks very good English and has great interest in bringing Balinese culture and customs to life, always with a wink, very entertaining but not intrusive! He responds to all wishes and comes with everyone. Problems rightly, but we didn’t really have. On the way back, several roads were closed and he took another route to the hotel with the utmost peace! Great experience, always happy again!
A Day of Serenity: Ubud’s Hidden Gems
On the second day, as the rain continues to dance across the landscape, immerse yourself in the artistic heart of Bali with the Ubud and Tanah Lot Day Trip. Available from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, this private tour offers a glimpse into the soul of Bali. Begin your exploration at the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, where the lush greenery and playful monkeys create a whimsical atmosphere.
The Tegalalang Rice Terrace, with its cascading fields of green, offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle. As you stroll through the terraces, the rain adds a refreshing touch, making the vibrant greens even more vivid. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at D Alas Warung Restaurant, where the jungle setting and delicious cuisine provide a perfect respite from the rain.
