About this tour

What to expect
Your day moves between artisan workshops where you'll see jewellers bend and shape precious metals, then shifts to café stops for tasting sessions. The palace visit is guided, offering context on royal life and Balinese customs. Markets are active and crowded—expect haggling, souvenir stalls and locals going about their day alongside tourists. Rice terrace viewpoints are genuinely photogenic but busy. The final temple stop involves wading into cool water, so bring a change of clothes or wear quick-dry gear. Pacing is steady; you'll spend roughly an hour at each major site.
Good to know
Lunch isn't included, so budget for meals or eat beforehand. Bring swimwear and a towel for the temple pool. Wear comfortable walking shoes for market and palace grounds. The vehicle provides water; temples and markets may be crowded mid-morning.
