Highly Recommend Private Day Tour of Ubud - We had a wonderful day in Bali. Our guide Asthara was excellent. He reached out to clearly communicate meeting details and was even early waiting for us at the cruise port. We were able to spend plenty of time at our various stops, and he shared a lot of information about his lovely island along the way. The monkey forest was great snd the Tegallalang Rice Terrace was spectacular. We had a choice of other stops also. We asked him to recommend a nice restaurant for lunch and he suggested a wonderful restaurant in a beautiful location. We highly recommend this tour with Asthara.

Perfect Excursion! - Our guide P. Cok was great! We met him as soon as we found the tour guides waiting with the names. We jumped in his ride with the cool rims and headed toward Ubud. He made sure we were happy with our planned stops. We loved the coffee stop;it was way better than we expected and we would happily return. Our visit to the monkey forest was great and visiting the rice terraces was cool. We moved along at a fairly good pace as we are not big shoppers so we had time to have an excellent lunch at a restaurant he recommended. We would be happy to have him again as guide if we return! This was one of our favorite excursions on all our cruises.

Best of Ubud Gets 5 Stars from Us - Wow! We saw a lot today: batik shop, monkey forest, rice terrace, luwak coffee farm, two temples and a waterfall. The weather was rainy but we expected it so it wasn’t a problem. Our guide, Dewa Alit, could not have been nicer and had a great sense of humor. He was very knowledgeable and an excellent driver. We felt safe with him at all times. We would highly recommend him as a guide/driver and this tour.

Great service by Lila! - 5 out of 5. We are super happy today with the tour guided by Lila. From the very beginning, communication was smooth and professional. Lila arrived on time kept the car spotless, and always greeted us with a warm smile. He is professional and very friendly. What impressed us most was his local knowledge—he not only navigated the busy roads with ease but also suggested hidden gems and scenic stops along the way. He was flexible with our itinerary, patient when we wanted to linger at certain spots, and always ensured we felt safe and comfortable. The car itself was nice, air-conditioned, and perfect for both short trips and longer drives. Overall, the service meets our expectations. If you’re visiting Bali and want an stress-free, enjoyable experience, I highly recommend Sun Tour with Lila. It made our trip smoother, and more memorable.

Unforgettable Ubud Experience with Bali Sun Tour - I joined the Best of Ubud Private Day Tour with Bali Sun Tour, and it turned out to be one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had in Bali. From the moment I was picked up, the service felt warm, professional, and very personal. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Balinese culture and history, and he explained every stop with so much passion. We visited the waterfalls, rice terraces, the iconic Bali swings, a local coffee plantation, and the Monkey Forest. I also appreciated that the guide helped me with admission fees at each location, so everything felt smooth and well-organized. Each stop had its own unique atmosphere — • Tegenungan Waterfall had a refreshing and lively vibe, perfect for photos. • Tegalalang Rice Terrace felt peaceful and scenic, especially with the gentle breeze. • The Bali Swing area was fun and thrilling with beautiful jungle views. • The coffee plantation had a relaxing rural atmosphere where I could try many local coffees and teas. • Monkey Forest was lively and magical with its ancient trees and friendly monkeys. What I loved most was how flexible the tour was — I could spend extra time in the places I enjoyed, and the guide always made sure I was comfortable. The car was clean, the ride was smooth, and the whole day felt perfectly planned. If you're visiting Ubud, I highly recommend booking with Bali Sun Tour. They truly made my trip unforgettable!

Unforgettable Ubud Experience Thanks to Ketut Mustika - I booked a one-day trip to Ubud and had an amazing experience! Ketut was such a wonderful tour guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He shared so many interesting stories about the culture and history, and he made sure I was comfortable and enjoying every moment. The itinerary was well planned, and Ketut’s positive energy made the whole day even more special. Highly recommend this tour and especially Ketut if you want an authentic and memorable Ubud experience!
