Really enjoyable walking tour of Ubud. - We did the "Ubuds Journey from Past to Present" tour. This is an excellent tour, gives great info on the history of Bali and Ubud, as well as Balinese Hinduism and art. Thanks to Joe our excellent guide for answering all our questions.

Best walking tour of Ubud - 3 hours, 7000 steps, 14 floors later my head was full of knowledge about this beautiful island! I now have a better understanding of the Balinese people - the religion, family, history, culture and art! Thanks Ira for a wonderful time!

Exceeded expectations - Fascinating historical perspective on both Bali in general and Ubud in particular. I wanted to tour the Museum Puri Lukisan, and this Ubud walk includes a ticket to the museum. Joe gave our group some background there, and I returned on my own afterward to enjoy all of the art. The walk also included four other stops. A bit of a climb in spots but Joe slowed the pace to accommodate our group. A worthwhile way to spend a morning.

This experience changed my mind about tours... - This is the first walking tour i've ever booked and it was so good, I immediately booked the other one, the same day. If you don't go for this YOURE MISSING OUT!!! I swear, especially if this is your first time in Ubud, you must book this tour. It gives an excellent introduction to Ubud and Bali that will mentally and emotionally prep you for the rest of your stay. The guide is of course local and i'm deeply appreciative that she brings local snacks and even sunscreen for us. The tour includes a ticket to a local museum which you can revisit and also brings you to popular places and even secret ones that most people would never know about. Love the company and its guides, an absolute must to go for!

Excellent walking tour of Ubud - The guide was excellent. She was a mine of information on so many subjects. It was a useful introduction to all that is Bali- history, culture, religion and the wonderful people. I really enjoyed this walking tour of Ubud.

Adorable tourist guide in Ubud - The historical tour of Ubud I took today was extremely interesting. I love learning about the history of the place where I'm staying during my vacation. Joe, the guide, was adorable, extremely attentive, and provided all the historical information with great professionalism. This tourist walk was very enjoyable in his company. I highly recommend it. Very fond memories of this rich, human, and profound being. I wish him the best in his life. Sincerely, Isabelle

Great experience - We got a tour that was perfectly tailored to our needs and interests. As a family with very young children we could only do a short tour, but even in a short time we could see the highlights and learn a lot about the history and culture of Ubud and Bali. Our guide did a great job despite wild kids. Thank you so much!

Excellent Historical Walking Tour - Ira gave us a wonderful tour in downtown Ubud. We had been longing for some history of Bali along with details about the temples we were seeing and Ira gave us the history and was able to answer every question. Take this tour the moment you arrive and it will see you up for the rest of your trip!
