- Taman Ayun Temple - Taman Ayun translates to ‘beautiful garden’ and is considered one of the most attractive temple compounds in Bali. Visitors enter the temple via a scenic bridge leading to a richly ornamented gate, providing access to the rest of the temple. From the second yard of the temple, the driver/guide will accompany you and explain the history of the temple and the function of each building. The temple is bordered by a giant pond and features neatly cut lawns, trees, and an abundance of local flowers and vegetation, creating the impression of a beautiful garden, as its name suggests.
- Leke Leke Waterfall - Experience a hidden waterfall with a shallow pool of pristine water, surrounded by lush green forestation. To access the waterfall, a downhill walk of about 10 - 15 minutes with beautiful jungle views is required. If you bring a drone, the jungle views are perfect for aerial photography. At Leke Leke waterfall, you can choose to explore on your own (with easy and clear directions) or ask your driver/guide to accompany you for taking pictures.
- Bedugul - If you need to recharge, you can notify the driver/guide at any time to stop for lunch or a snack. Several restaurants and coffee shops nearby are available for you to choose from. Lunch and other meals will be at your own expense.
- Ulun Danu Bratan Temple - Regarded as one of Bali’s icons, Ulun Danu Temple is situated on the banks of a lake with mountainous highlands as the backdrop. You will see the view of a temple often depicted on postcards or ideal pictures of Bali. The temple area features several shrines representing different aspects of Balinese culture, combined with a beautiful garden setting. Your driver/guide will accompany you and share some of the Balinese upland traditions related to Ulun Danu Temple.
- Handara Golf Course - Handara Gate is a beautiful golf resort gate and has become one of the most Instagrammable spots in Bali. Elaborate carvings, a serene road, and a mystical smoky mountain in the background make Handara a perfect spot for dramatic photos. Upon arrival, you need to walk around 40 meters and join the queue to take a photo. While you might get lucky with a short line, waiting time can be around 5 - 30 minutes. When it’s your turn to take photos in front of the gate, you can do whatever you want to get the shot – set up a tripod, take videos, fly a drone, etc. The driver/guide will be happy to take photos for you.

Awesome day spent with Gus! - My wife and I went for a full day temple and coffee tasting tour in Bali with Yowana tours. Gus was our driver and tour guide. He is an extremely good tour guide and speaks English really well. He provided us with insightful knowledge of Bali and the all the places we visited. He was very accommodating and catered for our needs. He definitely made the tour fun and exciting with he's explanations. We were happy with he's service that we arranged another full day tour in Ubud and surrounds with him on the same day. Definitely recommend him and he's company.

Only my daughter and myself on this trip so felt very privileged to get a personal tour from our lovely helpful guide. He spoke excellent English and was able to answer all our questions.

Great day - Guide was very informative, attentive. Nice to be able to do tour at your own pace. Did not enjoy the coffee plantation as you see the animals kept in cages.

Prob not worth the price in terms of seeing temples could not come close to Tanah Lot at all and note that you cannot enter the temples. Its good in terms of being able to see some areas of Bali. Lunch was way below average!</p>

The temples were beautiful and our... - <p>The temples were beautiful and our driver was extremely nice, polite and helpful. However, this was in no way a 'tour', we were simply provided with a driver for the day. He did not join us in the temples he waited for us at the entrance and made sure we knew where to find him, as well as his number, nor did he share any history or background on the temples themselves very disappointing for the money paid. Also, the timing of visiting the temples was off. We visited Tanah Lot the water temple first and it was during high tide so we couldn't even walk out to see the main temple. There is lots of flexibility when driving to the 3 temples, so we could have done it last instead by reversing the order.</p>
<p>If you've done your research and just need transportation for the day, then this should suit your needs but you can find much cheaper options in Bali. However, having done many tours through Viatour in the past which are normally awesome!, this was not what I was expecting so it was disappointing especially because as we walked through the temples we saw other tourists who were with guides that were explaining things and who were finishing their tour with Tanah Lot instead of starting there!</p>
<p>I'd like to re-state that the driver was extremely courteous he even paid the toilet fee for my mother as we had no small bills and the driver was in no way the issue. Its the package itself that needs to be re-worked or the description clarified because it is not accurate and very expensive for what was provided.</p>
