A great day for my partner and I - Joe was very friendly and knowledgeable on Ubud and made it a fantastic day for my girlfriend and I. We loved seeing parts of Ubud we wouldn't have found on our own and learning about the rich history Ubud has to offer! Would highly recommend to anyone to try the walking tour

Must do in Ubud! - I booked this tour for my family, but my wife twisted her ankle the night before, so only my 25-year old daughter and her boyfriend were able to take the tour. She loved it though. Here's her review: "We had a wonderful time on our tour today. Win and Agus were so fun and taught us so much. We’re so glad to have joined this tour."

A worthwhile experience - I had an amazing experience with Ira, she taught me so much about balinese history, religion and tradition. It really helped me understand the culture better and enjoy more the other visits I did during my stay.

Win Win! - Yesterday we had a wonderfully informative and engaging walk with Win. She was genuinely friendly, kind, encouraged questions and really knew her topics. I learned more on this tour about Balinese history, culture, art and Ubud itself than I had amassed in 10 years of visits. The itinerary was perfectly doable though people with mobility issues could struggle with the initial few steps down to the river. I think Win is an asset to Ubud Story Walks. Ask for Win for yiur tour!

Ubud cultural tour felt personal and heartwarming - I joined this cultural day visit kind of last-minute, but it was a wonderful experience. Our guide Joe went above and beyond to make every stop meaningful. He walked us through beautiful Balinese temples, sharing insights about history, spirituality, and local stories in a way that kept the group engaged and inspired. The tour included visiting a traditional Balinese home, where I got to see and feel how deeply family and spirituality are integrated in their daily life. The Ubud Palace and Puri Lukisan Museum were also educational and I got to hang out with other lovely fellow travelers. Joe was well informed, kind truly brought the experience alive with interesting stories. I enjoyed the experience, especially the Balinese home visit. Joe's very detailed guidance added Bali flair. It was heartwarming and cultural. Thank you for organising this.

Ubud story walks - A wonderful informative walking tour visiting some of the iconic attractions in Central Ubud. We were especially pleased to observe a blessing ceremony at the Junction of the Camphuang River. Our guide Ira was well informed, entertaining and answered all of our questions thoughtfully and knowledgeably.

Win for the win! - Very interesting and informative experience with our guide Win. She took us on a walk and talk through the colonial history to independence and more recent times, and was generous enough to give us a personal and Indonesian perspective. Win was very warm and welcoming, and looked after us so well. Thank you for a lovely afternoon Win!

Simply Fabulous - I very much enjoyed the tour and it really enriched our stay. We got to learn things about the rich culture, daily life, rituals and lifestyle. It really helped us to feel more connected to Bali. And our guide was wonderful. She was really engaging and personable. Can't recommend this company more. Only advice I would give would be to avoid booking until the kids have gotten over their jetlag.
