About this tour
Spend five to six hours browsing Ubud's artisan quarters with a private guide and driver. Start on bustling Jalan Raya Ubud and work south towards Monkey Forest Road, then push north into Tegallalang's rice-terrace villages or the metalwork hubs of Mas, Celuk and Sukawati. You'll move between workshops and galleries at your own pace, stopping for lunch and refreshments along the way. A real chance to see where Bali's craftspeople actually work, not just the polished retail fronts.

- Browse independent artist studios across five villages
- Metalwork neighbourhood of Mas and Celuk
- Tegallalang's quieter galleries away from main drag

What to expect
Your driver collects you early morning and navigates the central Ubud streets at a leisurely clip, stopping wherever catches your eye. The main drag pulls in tour groups, but your guide knows which side streets hold serious ceramicists and woodcarvers. Head north and the crowds thin considerably—Tegallalang feels genuinely rural. Mas specialises in woodwork; Celuk is silver and gold; Sukawati mixes everything. Lunch happens mid-tour at a casual local spot. Expect to walk between 15–20 minutes daily across uneven ground, browsing at each village for as long as you wish. Haggling is normal; your guide can advise fair prices.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and sun protection. Most villages have toilet facilities. Bring cash—many smaller workshops don't take cards. Your guide knows which artisans speak English and which don't. Shopping costs are separate from the tour price.
