Great day in Ubud - Fantastic first day in Ubud. Our driver, Dananjaya, was on time and patiently waited at all our stops. Cooking class was exceptional and the spa was beautiful.

Amazing Experience - My husband and I took part in these activities in December and had an amazing day. Our guide, Dodi, was fantastic! He was friendly and knowledgable and really added to the enjoyment of the day! This is a must do excursion.

Excellent experience - but switched Monkey Forest (had seen) with Holy Water Temple and Ubud Water Place - A must-do tour, esp. if you like cooking and trying and learning new things! The experience starts with a tour of the local market, and quickly turns into some hard work. The result was delightfully delicious. My driver, Dodi, was very helpful and attentive to take pictures and videos of the cutting, grinding, smashing, frying, steaming, grilling - the entire cooking extravaganza! And don’t worry - the staff are very helpful and you wouldn’t feel lost or overworked for a minute. I swapped the Monkey Forest for the Holy Water Temple and Ubud Water Palace. Dodi knew all the good photo spots for both - and also explained well the different temple grounds (the Holy Water Temple is pretty large!). You can enter into the water - but I was a tad lazy to do so. The spa was great - the therapist hit every tense spot on my back; note when you select deep impact massage, be prepared for the intense pressure. Then finishing the day with a herbs and flowers bath makes you feel like reborn. Definitely would recommend the combo as a full -day tour and Dodi as a driver/guide, being both extremely helpful and witty / funny. Had a great day!

Great day out for a couple - It was an amazing day with our drive to the market to see local produce and then preparing and cooking traditional food. Then a short stop to see the cheeky monkeys at the Ubud Monkey Forest, then finish the day with an amazing spa treatment.

Best experience - We spent amazing day starting with cooking classes then going spa. Classes were so much fun, we had really fantastic chef lady 🙏 and such a funny group. Cooking in such a peaceful place, i the middle of rice fields was really a great experience and I'd recommend it to everyone visiting Bali. Big big big thanks to our driver Desu, who adjusted to us, gave us many useful tips about our next days and what we should visit, he was so kind and helpful, Desu thank you!🙏 Spa time was so beautiful and relaxing after a day like this, we really enjoyed whole day. Must do!

This is a must do, especially if it's the first time visiting Bali - This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and stress free, given that Bali was a new destination from us. We received whatsapp messages and communication the day before the trip to confirm the time they were picking us up. Our tour guide Desu was the best! He was professional and shared with us what to expect at each location and also shared with us about Bali and places we need to see. He picked us up on time and drove us to our first destination, which was the Market and Food Cooking Class in Ubud. We learned how to make Indonesian dishes that we already had made in San Diego, because they give you a cookbook at the end! After that, he took us to the Ubud Monkey Forest, and walked around with us around the monkey forest. The monkeys can be quite friendly, so he made sure we were safe the whole time. We even took a monkey selfie. We ended the day with a 2-hour scrub/massage. I would definitely use this tour company again because they picked great tours to package together and sent competent drivers/tour guides like Desu that made our experience much better.
