An amazing insight to Balinese culture, religion and history. Loved it!! - What an incredible experience this tour was. My 83year old mother and I loved this tour with Joe our tour guide today. It opened our eyes to the history and culture of Bali, the sacred artefacts of the temples we visited. Joe was so welcoming and knowledgeable about the history of the area and the links between ancient past and the modern Balinese culture. He took time to answer questions and also took care of us navigating road crossings and pathways. We learnt so much about the temples and archaeological museum. We also appreciated the visit to a local family home and the opportunity to see how locals live, their family temple and experience Balinese morning tea and snacks. This was not a difficult walk, all flat and a few steps to get into temples. My mother managed the walk easily! We highly recommend this tour. Thank you Joe!

100% worth it for those looking for a leisurely insight into the cultural and religious customs of Bali. - Having already spent a few days in Ubud we had few questions which our lovely guides Joe and Bagus were more than willing to answer in addition to the pleasant walk between temples of Pejeng town which is much quieter then Ubud. It is a short Grab ride from Ubud to the start of the location of this tour and worth it to get out of the hustle and bustle of Ubud. An unexpected highlight of the tour for us was the open air museum which houses sarcophagus found in Bali from the pre-historic era. A real eye opener for us as such ancient artifacts are usually found behind lock and key in museums and far from their origin. We have great memories from our tour and thank Ubud Story Walks and our guides for providing such a great service.

Pre Hindu Bali - Easy 4000+steps, very few steps! 2.5 hours! Joe was very informative! Love the stories about the moon of Pejeng and tantra… who knew Bali had sarcophagi! Go early and visit the local market before the tour starts!

Fortunate to witness a local ceremony in the process - We were very lucky to be there on the same day as a ceremony so that we could see the temple in its full glory with lots of people and activities. Even if you don't get the same experience, the guide is lovely and brings a wealth of information as well as pictures to share. Am deeply appreciative that they conducted the tour even though I was the only person that day, very professional and committed!

private tour of the myth of pejeng with Ubud story walks - We had an organised trip through our hotel for a private tour of the myth of pejeng with Ubud story walks. We had 2 young ladies as our guides, who were so knowledgeable and so friendly. We did the 4 stops, Pura penataran Sasih, Pura Pusering Jagat, Pura Kebo Eden and the museum. We had a stop at a local home and got to look around and have a drink and local snack. We were fortunate to see local people presenting offerings. Very interesting and our 2 guides made it for us.

Prepared, knowledgeable, unforgettable - Win was an incredible guide, allowing time for all of our complex questions. She took good care of us, bringing proper attire, sunblock, and bug repellent. We got to see and learn so many fascinating things about the history of the area and Bali. Also, very cute temple animals joined the trip! Highly recommend this tour as a way to orient yourself to this beautiful culture and place!
