★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 63 reviews · from $43

Spend about nine hours exploring East Bali by private air-conditioned car with an English-speaking guide.

Guides such as Nyoman, Ketut, Jana, and Wayan are praised for cultural explanations and flexible schedules.

“I have no words to describe how spectacular Besakih (aka the Mother Temple) is! Just the visit to Besakih alone makes this tour worth the money, but then I also got to see Tirta Gangga which was SO serene and truly a treat! As far as Lempuyang- I found the trek and the lengthy wait just for a picture kind of bizzare, and I could honestly have skipped this part of the tour. Overall- the sights on this tour (minus Lempuyang) are a MUST see! But - just note the drive is far from Ubud (2-2.5hrs) and the roads are narrow and windy for most of the way - consider…”
