Full description

This is a 9-hour experience in Ubud, built around UC Silver Gold, Batik Collection and Coffee plantation. It is run by Travana Bali, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A highlights day around Ubud strings together the places that photograph best in the order the light suits them: Tegallalang before the coaches, a swing while the queue is short, a waterfall by late morning, and Tirta Empul or a temple in the afternoon. The distances are small but the roads are slow, so the order matters more than the list. Sarongs are needed at every temple and are provided at the gate; swings and some viewpoints charge separately from the tour; and wet-season afternoons, November to March, often bring rain from about two o'clock, which is why these days start early.

Pickup is offered from Kuta, Seminyak, Jimbaran, Legian, Canggu and Ubud; the exact spot and time are agreed with Travana Bali once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Private air-conditioned car with music, driver, Bottles of water and All parking fees. It does not cover Personal expenses, Meal and Gratuity, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Hotel pickup in Ubud. Travana Bali confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Travana Bali before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

What a wonderful day! Gede was an amazing guide, very friendly and he made the full day tour enjoyable and relaxed. Comfortable vehicle and good driving. I would definitely recommend Gede as a fun, easy going guide. Nice range of art factories visited, with shopping afterwards. Silver, Batik, Painting and Wood carving. If you are interested in art/crafts this is a great tour.

Agus was unreal! He took me to all the places and explained everything so well - he was kind, friendly and so happy to have me! The palace was closed when we got there so he made a point to take me back there on our way home so I didn’t miss out!! Thanks Agus!!

Alle highlights in 1 dag kunnen zien. Onze gids Dek Juli was ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Hij heeft ons geholpen met het maken van hele mooie foto’s en video’s gemaakt die alle momenten vastlegde. Alleen de batik winkel viel een beetje tegen, maar voor de rest 10/10.

We really enjoyed our experience on this tour, but there’s a lot to pack into just one day. Ideally, you would have at least two days to truly immerse yourself in each experience on the itinerary. But if you’re wanting to get the most out of Ubud in just one day, this is a fantastic option, and incredible value for money. Our tour guide, Agus, was extremely prompt, arriving on time with a very comfortable, clean vehicle. He was friendly and polite, and an excellent driver. The only disappointing part of the trip was that our tour day happened to be a religious holiday, which I was unaware of.

Tolle Tour in einem schönen klimatisierten Auto. Besonders die Reisterrassen und der Wasserfall haben uns gefallen, aber auch die Besichtigungen. Agus ist ein sehr guter sicherer Fahrer und erklärt alles ganz sehr verständlich.
