Traveler reviews
Tour Ubud
The Tour was really interesting and the Guide Yande was very friendly and patient he drove us around the temple, rice terrace, monkey forest waterfall and gave us helpful information and we even took selfies with monkeys. Highly recommend it
Private tour in Ubud
We booked this tour at 11pm the night before with an early pickup and Wayan Jose turned up bright and early for our full day tour to Ubud. Wayan shared with us deep knowledge and insight about Bali, their culture and religion. He spoke good English, being both professional and personal as well as extremely accommodating on the tour with insight knowledge and answering all of our questions. As we were coming to the end of the tour he understood our interest in coffee and offered to take us to a plantation in addition, despite it not being on the tour. We greatly appreciated the offer. He was extremely helpful in organising tickets for getting into each attraction as well as taking family pictures for us in the most picturesque locations. Recommend this tour 100%, you get to see a lot and learn a lot in a short time.

HBD driver / guide trip
We had a wonderful time spending a whole day with our private driver and perfect local guide, Made. He showed us the best tourist spots in eastern Bali. Everything was perfectly organized and went smoothly. We have amazing memories from that trip. I highly recommend the HBD company and our wonderful guide, Made.
Great guide and wonderful experience 🤩
We were lucky enough to have a good guide for that day. He gave us many explanations and spontaneously offered to take regular pictures. The Ubuud Monkey Forest was our favorite compared to those made in previous years. The temples were soothing and beautiful. I recommend this day!!! ✅👍🏻
