What People Say
Authentic feedback from real guests who booked this experience with Balian Tour.
"Short, sweet, and perfectly timed half day tour!"
We only had an afternoon free before heading to our next destination and this half day tour was ideal. Our driver picked us up right at 12:30 PM from Sanur, took us smoothly through Ubud Monkey Forest and Tirta Empul for the holy spring blessing, and had us back by 6 PM. Clean car, cold water, and zero rushing!
"Wonderful experience with private driver and temple guidance"
The private car was spotless and spacious for our group of 4. Our driver helped us understand the temple etiquette and history at Tirta Empul, and the monkeys in Ubud were super cute and fun to photograph. Highly recommend Balian Tour for a relaxed half day outing!
