REVIEW · JIMBARAN TOURS
Ubud Customized Private Tour
Ubud in one day, without the chaos. This custom private tour is built for your pace, taking in Ubud highlights, the countryside, and the Kintamani area (with a possible Tanah Lot sunset if timing allows). You can also steer the plan toward temples, rice terraces, Balinese houses, and adventure add-ons like ATVs.
I like two things right away: the day is private, so you are not stuck waiting on a group, and the included ride is practical, with an air-conditioned SUV, bottled water, and parking taken care of. I also like that the route has both iconic stops (waterfalls, rice terrace, Kintamani views) and culture stops (batik, local art, a traditional temple).
One thing to consider: entrances are not included, so you’ll want to budget for tickets as you go. Also, because the tour is customized, your best experience depends on how clearly you map your priorities at the start, especially if you want optional activities like swing or ATV.

From Jimbaran to Ubud countryside, with a Tanah Lot bonus if time fits
This day starts in Jimbaran and then swings you into central Bali’s Ubud region, where everything feels slower and greener, but still very accessible by car. You are looking at a full 8 to 10 hour private block, designed to cover a lot without forcing you to sprint from one place to the next.
The tour’s structure gives you an easy win: you do the Ubud classics, then press onward toward the Kintamani side for big mountain-and-lake views. If you still have daylight, there is an added bonus to end with sunset at Tanah Lot, which is a great closer when your day is running smoothly.

A true custom tour, not just a fixed checklist

The whole point is control. You can tailor the plan toward what you actually care about: temples, waterfalls, rice fields, Balinese houses, or adventure activities like ATVs or rafting.
The tour stays within a maximum duration of 10 hours. If you want more time than that, it can be coordinated with your driver, which matters because Bali traffic can turn even simple plans into timing puzzles. I’d treat this as your day to build, not just your day to ride.
Stop-by-stop: waterfalls and viewpoints that keep changing the scenery

Even though it is flexible, the route has a natural rhythm, and you can feel it once you’re on the road: start near Ubud, then collect waterfalls, then head toward the Mount Batur area.
You’ll also notice the tour includes built-in walking time at some stops, especially around waterfalls and viewpoints. A good tip is to wear shoes you do not mind getting a little dusty, and keep your day bag simple, water included (bottled water is provided).
Ubud first: choose your style before you head out
The day begins with a first stop in the Ubud area for about 1 hour. This is where the tour can lean into adventure options that you might be interested in, such as ATV riding, Balinese swing, or rafting.
Because this is customized, this opening hour is useful for deciding your energy level early. If you want your day to feel active, this is a good place to set that tone. If you prefer an easier start, you can use the time to orient yourself and then save the bigger activities for later.

Tegenungan Waterfall: stairs, views from above, and a solid payoff
Tegenungan Waterfall is next for about 1 hour. This one is described as having stairs that require energy to go down, but with a big advantage: you can see the view from above without going all the way down.
That’s a smart setup if you are traveling with mixed comfort levels for walking. You get options, and the stop itself tends to feel like a photo-friendly pause rather than a long hike. Entrance tickets are not included, so expect to handle that on site.
Kanto Lampo Waterfall: a calmer stop that still feels special
Then comes Kanto Lampo Waterfall for about 1 hour, another classic Ubud-region waterfall area. It is often used as a resting point for cyclists coming off the mountain, which hints at a stop that can feel scenic but not overly chaotic.
This is a good match if you want waterfall scenery but not every minute to be about steep steps. Again, entrance fees are not included, so check what you are paying for before you commit to the time and route on site.
Mount Batur and Kintamani: the big view segment, plus coffee and food options

Mount Batur in the Kintamani area is the next major highlight, with about 1 hour on the schedule. This is the second highest active mountain in Bali, and the payoff is the view from height, where you can see both the mountain and lake.
The tour notes that there are many restaurants and coffee shops in the area. That matters for two reasons: first, it makes a longer scenic stop feel less rushed, and second, it gives you a chance to recharge before you head back toward Ubud-style activities again.
Entrance tickets are not included for this stop, so treat it as a viewpoint break and plan to pay anything needed once you arrive.
Tegalalang Rice Terrace: the rice irrigation story you can actually see

Tegalalang Rice Terrace is a shorter stop at about 30 minutes, but it is one of the most visually memorable parts of the countryside. What you learn here is practical and local: the subak system is how Balinese farmers organize irrigation and rice cultivation.
You’ll also have an optional activity: Balinese swing is mentioned here as an add-on with own expenses. If you want that photo-and-adrenaline combo, this is a logical place to fit it in because you are already in the right scenery.
Plan for quick transitions. A 30-minute stop works best if you decide early whether you are there for photos, for a short walk, or just to understand the irrigation scene.
ATV time in the Ubud countryside: how to make it worth it

The itinerary includes Fun ATV Bali for about 2 hours, and this is where your custom tour can shift from sightseeing to hands-on adventure. This stop is described as part of the Ubud countryside options, with ATV riding and other outdoor activities referenced as possible choices in the overall concept.
Because the ATV experience is a paid activity not covered by the included list, this is one of your biggest “value levers.” If ATV is a must for you, make sure you confirm the conditions once you arrive, especially around timing and what is expected from you before you get on.
Practical advice: bring whatever you need to stay comfortable for active time, and keep valuables minimal. With a private car waiting, you can keep the rest of your day focused instead of scrambling later.
Culture stops that slow your day down in the best way

This tour is not only about scenic photos. It also builds in culture and craft, which is a nice balance when you are spending most of the day outdoors.
Dewa Putu Toris local artist displays
Next is Dewa Putu Toris in Batubulan Village for about 30 minutes. This is a local arts stop where artists paint and display their work.
Even if you are not buying anything, this kind of stop helps you see Bali as something made by people, not just something staged for tourists. It also gives your driver time to reset the schedule before the next more structured cultural site.
Entrance is listed as free for this stop, which is a small but meaningful value perk.
Batuan Temple: traditional Balinese architecture in a quick visit
Then you visit Batuan Temple for about 30 minutes. The tour describes it as a traditional Balinese setting, with traditional houses and original building concepts found in Ubud and surrounding countryside.
Because this is a relatively short time, it is best for a focused look rather than a long temple wander. Dress expectations are not stated in the tour details you provided, so I’d still plan to cover up appropriately for temple visits as a general Bali courtesy.
Entrance tickets are not included here, so keep that in mind if you are budgeting tightly.
Abian Kusuma Sari and Sari Amerta: coffee and batik as relaxing anchors

Two of the best “reset” moments in this plan are coffee and batik. They break up the harder physical stops and give you a chance to learn without running around.
Abian Kusuma Sari Agrowisata coffee and tea break
At Abian Kusuma Sari Agrowisata, you get about 30 minutes. This is a simple pause to enjoy local coffee and tea, and it is listed as free admission.
For me, these short food and drink breaks are what keep a full-day tour from turning into a nonstop treadmill. You can cool down, hydrate, and decide what you want to prioritize during the last stretch.
Sari Amerta Batik Collection: watching traditional batik techniques
The last culture stop on the core list is Sari Amerta Batik Collection, about 30 minutes. Batik is described as Indonesia’s national heritage, and each island has its own characteristics through its motives.
You can see the traditional way of making batik here, which is a great use of time because it ties a souvenir-buying impulse to something real and human. Entrance is listed as free for this stop, so it is another value-friendly moment.
Included comfort, plus the driver details that make the day feel stress-free
A big reason this tour earns top marks is practical execution. You get a private transportation setup in an air-conditioned vehicle, plus bottled water, parking fees, and tour insurance included.
Pickup is offered, and the tour is set up as a private tour/activity, meaning it is just your group. That matters because you can move at your preferred speed without negotiating with strangers or regrouping every time someone needs a bathroom break.
Also worth noting: the tour mentions group discounts and a mobile ticket option. If you are traveling with friends or family, ask about the discount structure so you can compare total cost against separate bookings.
From the guide names shared in tour experiences, I’d also expect a real focus on safety and timing. Some guides referenced include Adhi, Yus, Ghali, Dwiyana, Adie, and Edy. Names like these came up specifically in connection with good driving and making the day feel smooth, which is exactly what you want when your schedule includes waterfalls, viewpoints, and possible sunset.
Entrance fees add up, so plan your budget with real flexibility
Your included list covers comfort and transportation, but entrance fees for destinations are not included. That’s totally normal for Bali private tours, but it changes how you think about final cost.
Here’s a simple way to budget: treat each paid site as a separate line item, especially the waterfalls and the temple, since the data clearly says entrances are not included for those stops. The good news is some specific stops are listed as free, like Ubud’s opening segment, Dewa Putu Toris, Abian Kusuma Sari Agrowisata, and Sari Amerta Batik Collection.
If you want an all-in day, tell your driver at the start what you plan to pay for, and what you want to skip. A customized day is only truly custom if you control the money side, too.
Value check: $36 per person for a full-day route with private transport
At $36 per person, this is priced in a way that can feel like a bargain for a full 8 to 10 hour private day. The biggest value is the mix of included elements: air-conditioned private vehicle, bottled water, parking fees, and insurance, plus the time with a driver who can adapt the day to you.
The price becomes more or less valuable depending on what you add. If you only do the core sightseeing stops, your main extras are likely entrance tickets. If you add ATV or Balinese swing, your spending shifts toward activity providers not covered by the included list.
If you want the best deal, match your interests to the tour’s structure. For example, if you love waterfalls and viewpoints, this route makes sense because it groups them efficiently. If you want purely indoor culture with minimal walking, you might still enjoy it, but you might want to adjust expectations around the outdoor time.
Who this Ubud custom tour is best for
This tour fits best if you want a single day that covers a lot of Bali without being stuck on a rigid timetable. It is also a good match if you like variety: scenery (waterfalls and Kintamani), plus culture (batik and a temple area).
It is designed for most people to participate, and it is private, so solo travelers and couples both work well. The custom nature also helps if you are traveling with different energy levels in your group, because you can choose how much adventure you want on the day.
Should you book this Ubud Customized Private Tour?
I’d book it if you want a stress-free private day with enough structure to hit the highlights, but enough flexibility to customize. This is especially attractive at the $36 per person price point if you plan to use the car for moving between Ubud, waterfalls, and the Kintamani side, instead of piecing together separate transportation.
Skip it or adjust it if you hate paying entrance fees on arrival, since the plan clearly lists that entrances are not included at destinations. Also, if you are hoping for a slow, low-activity day with lots of long lounging time, this route may feel packed, because it is designed to use a full 8 to 10 hour window efficiently.
