Ubud: past to present tour - We did the past to present Ubud tour with Win. She has been really kind, friendly and very prepared on balinesian history. We have appreciated the interaction between us on our different countries and traditions. Thanks to this tour we have learnt many interesting things about balinesian traditions and religion. We really recommend this tour and our guide Win.

Friendly, interesting and informative walking tour - I joined this tour on my first day, it was such a great way to start my trip and build a good understanding of Ubud and Bali. I would definitely recommend this early in your holiday as a great introduction to Bali. Ira was an amazing guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, I learnt a lot about the local history and culture. The locations have been selected well and are really interesting.

Must-do-tour in Ubud - We did the tour about 'Ubud's Journey from Past to Present' with Ira and can highly recommend doing this tour during your time in or around Ubud. Not only did we learn a lot about Ubud's history, but also about the history of Bali in general. Ira told us about religion on Bali as well as culture, art and society, including examples from her personal life. She also answered any questions we had. Overall an extremely informative and insightful tour that anyone visiting Ubud should do! Thank you, Ira!

Greetings from the ancestors - First of all… I have nothing to complain about. Ira really designed the tour very well and provided a lot of information that ran like a thread throughout the entire tour. It's important to note that my group was also in a great mood. I can recommend this tour with Ira to everyone. She's a truly fantastic person. Basically a good walk as a warmup for Ubud/Bali.

Great history, fun tour! - What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! Joe’s tour was fun and interesting. He had several stops that told the story of Ubud’s local history and culture with stories from centuries-old temples to art galleries and a family home. We also had a great group of other visitor and it was fun to share questions and experiences. For a deeper understanding of what helped shaped Ubud and Bali to what we see today, we highly recommend this tour!
