What to expect
Your guide picks you up and drives through Ubud's back roads to each site. At the temples, expect crowds of other visitors but time to explore properly. The Monkey Forest requires alertness around the animals—keep bags zipped and don't make eye contact. Rice terraces are best shot early; the light softens by afternoon. Tegenungan Waterfall is a short walk from the carpark, and you can swim if you bring spare clothes. The art village shows working potters and weavers; most pieces are for sale. You'll stop for lunch at a local warung (not included), where your guide can recommend dishes.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sunscreen. The waterfall swim is optional—take a dry bag if attempting it. Monkey Forest rules: no loose items, sunglasses, or dangling jewellery. Roads are bumpy in places. Gratuity isn't included but appreciated. Book early if visiting school holidays.
