Amazing day with Bagus 🌴🇮🇩
We had such a great experience touring Nusa Penida with Bagus. From the very beginning, he made us feel comfortable and welcome. He took us to every destination safely, was always attentive, and made sure we enjoyed the day without feeling rushed. What really stood out was his incredibly positive energy and friendly personality. He was genuinely kind, helpful, and fun to be around, which made the whole experience even better. We highly recommend Bagus to anyone visiting Nusa Penida. If you’re looking for a safe, reliable and genuinely lovely driver, definitely go with him. Thank you for an amazing day, Bagus! 🙏🏼🇮🇩

Amazing couples experience!
2 20/yo Aussies. Pickup was very easy with private driver picking us up directly from our accommodation in Canggu. Started with a fun market tour then drove to the kitchen. Instructor/guide was very informative and made the whole experience incredibly fun and enjoyable. The food made was delicious and incredibly safe. Would absolutely recommend for those looking to do a cooking class in Bali

Great day out and great guide!
This was a fantastic day out with Jepun. He was very flexible, respectful and informative guide! The whole day ran very smoothly and he was very patient. He tried to switch the activities around so that there was not much waiting around and we learnt a lot about Indonesian culture and practices! Thank you Jepun - you made it memorable!

Großartiges Kocherlebnis in sehr freundlichem Ambiente.
Tolle Einblicke in lokale Kultur durch Marktbesuch, ausführliche Erläuterungen, Verkostungsmöglichkeiten, gemeinsames Kochen und Essen. Tolle Produkte und viele hilfreiche Tipps haben den Vormittag sehr gelungen abgerundet. Die Speisen waren köstlich. Preis/Leistung absolut top.

Fantastic experience to learn about Bali cuisine
What a great experience. Right from booking, everything went well. My wife's allergies were received and catered for with no issues. Recipes were altered to let her enjoy the experience. Communications with the driver were easy and our pickup was sorted and allowed for the rain. The trip to the market was fabulous. Wayan explained how the whole market ran and highlighted many of the spices and how market goods were cooked. The cooking class with Wayan was fantastic and I can't recommend it more. Wayan did a great job of explaining and demonstrating what we needed to do and then guided us as we all participated. She had excellent communication skills. We prepared and cooked over half a dozen dishes that all came together for a sumptuous meal to conclude the morning.

Best tour guide ever !!!
We have thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Bali Ubud Tours. Our guide Dewa was outstanding, providing us with a lot of knowledge for the entire trip. He was very accomodating and friendly for the entire time. The places we visited were absolutely beautiful. Would highly recommend to anyone.

A wonderful change to the usual activities.
Very enjoyable morning and a great lunch which we made ourselves from scratch. It was interesting to learn the basic cooking ingredients and recipes that form the basis of many dishes in Bali. A great change to the usual holiday activities and educational too. Definitely worth it and thank you again.

Dewa: The Guide Who Turns a Tour into an Experience
We did a tour today visiting Tanah Lot Temple, the Jatiluwih rice fields, and Taman ayun temple. Our guide, Dewa, was excellent—he explained everything with great dedication and answered all of our questions (and we had quite a lot! XD). We’ve done car tours before, but usually with drivers who simply take you to the places and wait while you explore, so we had many questions built up over time. Dewa is very knowledgeable about Balinese culture and genuinely enjoys talking about a wide range of topics. We discussed religion, daily life in Bali, travel, work, family—absolutely everything. He is cheerful, empathetic, and very professional. He made sure we were comfortable at all times. 100% recommended for a meaningful cultural learning experience and for meeting a truly wonderful human being. Thank you so much, Dewa, for such an incredible day!
