About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring Ubud's heartland on a private guided tour that moves between the island's most recognisable landmarks. Start among the UNESCO-listed rice terraces at Tegalalang, where centuries-old irrigation channels carve emerald patterns across hillsides. Drive through village scenery to Ubud's palace grounds, then browse the market's fabric and craft stalls before finishing among the long-tailed macaques of the protected forest. Hotel pickup and drop-off included.

What to expect
Your guide collects you from your hotel in the early morning. The first stop is Tegalalang's tiered paddies, where you'll walk between the planted rows and photograph the stepped landscape. The drive to central Ubud winds through rural villages before arriving at the palace, where you can wander the ornamental grounds (the royal family still resides here). Ubud Market comes next—a sensory experience of vendors selling fabrics, carvings, masks and souvenirs. The final leg takes you into the monkey forest, where macaques roam freely. You'll return to your hotel by late afternoon.
