Great way to check out so many sights in Ubud. We were lucky to have a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide - Peter. He made the day so easy and it never felt like we were rushing. He knew when to give us space and when to give us information about the attraction we were visiting. I'd recommend him as a tour guide to anyone looking to check out any sights in Bali!
