Review of Ubud’s private Monkey Forest, jungle swing, rice terrace, waterfall, and Tirta Empul tour, with practical tips on cost and timing.

“We had a fantastic day with our driver and guide Adi! He went out of his way to make sure we had a great Ubud experience. He was very knowledgeable about all of the stops and the Balinese culture generally (no matter what random questions we may have asked). The car was very comfortable and we were provided bottles of water for the day. We highly recommend this experience (and Adi particularly) to anyone looking to explore Ubud.”
