Amazing tour of Ubud with Aris

Aris was our personal guide for the day and he did an amazing job. He had amazing stories and history of all the locations we visited which added so much to the overall trip. We brought our two children along and it was more than comfortable in his car. I can’t wait to come back and visit some of the hidden gems that Aris showed us during the excursion. Having our own personal guide and photographer made the experience priceless. Highly recommend this trip and make sure to ask for Aris!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely do this tour with Aris

Aris was AMAZING! He went above and beyond what we expected to make our tour of Ubud a memorable and enjoyable experience. From bringing a car seat for our 2 year old (without me even mentioning it) to being flexible with places and timelines for our family, he did an incredible job. We had the best day seeing such unique and different aspects of Bali and Aris was there answering all of our questions and giving us great insight about the culture every step of the way. We can’t wait to come back and see more of Bali and I can’t recommend Aris enough as your tour guide.

The trip was lovely with...

The trip was lovely with Krisna, we got to explore a lot of Ubud in a day and customized it with great recommendations. Would definitely recommend, maybe take a look in advance what you’d wanna do in Ubud like ATV, specific art villages, adventure type or shopping activities.

Amazing day!

I could not recommend this tour enough! Communication with Bali 4U Tours was very prompt over WhatsApp. It was also so nice to be picked up from our hotel and have the hassle of transport be taken away for the day. Our guide Darma was such a legend and provided a great insight into Ubud’s best destinations. He made our day!

A great day out with Raka

We had an awesome day with Raka. He is such a lovely guy who went out of his way to make sure we had a great day. Raka talked to us about Bali and its culture throughout the day, he guided us on how to interact with the monkeys and developed a great rapport with our young kids. Raka made sure we had plenty of time at our stops, ensured we had plenty of water for the day and took us to a lovely affordable lunch stop. The coffee/tea tasting was amazing. The waterfall and rice terraces were all beautiful. Highly recommended!
