Arrival airport transfer included. Early check-in subject to availability.
Ubud Village Walk, Monkey Forest & Tegalalang
Start with a guided walk through traditional Ubud lanes, visiting the sacred Ubud Monkey Forest (entrance included). Continue to the iconic Tegalalang Rice Terraces for photos and a gentle walk along the paddies. Return to Ubud for an optional art-house visit or souvenir shopping.
Wear comfortable shoes; sunscreen recommended for terrace walk.
Balinese Culture, Palace Visit & Cooking Class
Morning visit to Ubud Palace and its surrounding traditional architecture. Later, participate in a hands-on Balinese cooking class held in a local home — shop for fresh ingredients at a nearby market and learn classic recipes (class and lunch included). In the evening enjoy a traditional dance performance (subject to schedule).
Cooking class is family-friendly; please inform us of dietary restrictions in advance.
Local Markets, Village Cycle and Free Leisure Time
After breakfast, explore the vibrant Ubud Art Market and neighboring artisan shops. For an active option, take a guided short bicycle ride through nearby villages and rice fields (optional). Afternoon free — recommended: a family-friendly spa or craft workshop offered at the homestay.
Optional activities are payable locally; notify us if you prefer to pre-book.
Leisure Morning in Ubud and Preparations for Kintamani
Enjoy a relaxed morning at your homestay with breakfast. Spend time visiting a nearby gallery or attend a simple weaving/dyeing demonstration. Prepare for the next day's transfer to the highlands; pack light outerwear for cooler nights.
Homestay hosts can assist with light luggage transfers to Kintamani.
Transfer to Kintamani: Mount Batur Views & Coffee Plantation
Check out from your Ubud homestay and transfer to the Kintamani area. En route stop at a traditional Balinese coffee plantation (try Kopi Luwak sample) and continue to the Mount Batur viewpoint overlooking Lake Batur. Enjoy lunch with panoramic views and later check into a guesthouse near Lake Batur. Optional: local hot springs visit (entry payable locally).
Altitude is higher in Kintamani — temperatures are cooler especially in the evening.
Morning at Lake Batur, Transfer to Seminyak & Beach Time
Early morning at leisure — short walk along the lake or optional sunrise viewpoint (non-technical). After breakfast transfer to Seminyak on Bali's southwest coast. Check into a beach-area guesthouse or hotel and enjoy the afternoon on Seminyak Beach — sunset shopping at Seminyak markets.
Seminyak offers many family-friendly dining options; traffic to the south can add time to transfers.
Departure — Transfer to Airport
After breakfast check out from your Seminyak accommodation. Depending on flight time, enjoy a final short beach stroll or last-minute shopping. Private transfer to Ngurah Rai International Airport for your onward flight.

Recent Bali Reviews
One Call Fixed Everything Before We Panicked
Our cab to the Bali airport was a no-show on the last day — driver just vanished, no response. My husband was already anxious about missing the flight. I messaged our TourGrids coordinator Neha on WhatsApp and within maybe 15 minutes she had another cab confirmed and on the way. No drama, no extra charge, she just sorted it quietly. That one moment honestly changed how I feel about booking through a company versus doing it yourself. Rest of the trip was also well planned — hotels were proper good, itinerary had the right balance of activities and free time. We travelled as a couple and genuinely had nothing to stress about.
Bali Hotel Switch Sorted Before Dinner Time
We landed in Bali and found out our Seminyak hotel had a plumbing issue — they were moving guests out. My wife was already tired from the flight and I had no idea what to do. Called our TourGrids coordinator Aryan and he was on it within minutes. By the time we'd had coffee at the airport café, he'd confirmed a replacement property nearby, same category, no extra charge. The whole thing was done on call, no back and forth nonsense. Rest of the trip — cabs, day tours, everything — ran exactly as planned. Travelling as a couple, you want someone to actually pick up when things go sideways. Aryan did.
WhatsApp Replies Faster Than My Own Family
Booked a Bali trip for me and my wife through TourGrids after a couple of calls with their team. What actually stood out was the coordinator assigned to us — Rahul, I think his name was. Every time something came up in Bali, whether it was a cab running late or confusion about a villa check-in time, the guy was on WhatsApp within minutes. Not hours — minutes. Even replied once when it was quite late back in India. Hotels were proper good, itinerary had the right balance of activities and free time. No surprise charges when we got back and checked the final breakdown. Honestly just felt like someone was genuinely tracking our trip the whole time.
Bali With No Backup Plan and No Regrets
I had never handed over an entire trip to someone else before — always booked everything myself. But my husband and I wanted to actually enjoy Bali without spending weeks on spreadsheets. A friend suggested TourGrids and honestly, I was skeptical. One long call with the coordinator later, I was less nervous. She noted everything — the kind of hotels we wanted, that we don't like rushed itineraries, our flight preference. No hidden charges, no vague answers. Everything was on WhatsApp so I could track what was confirmed. The hotels were proper good, cabs were always on time, and nothing felt like a last-minute scramble. Bali turned out to be everything we hoped, and I didn't have to fight for any of it.
Bali Cost Less Than My Own Quotes
I spent two weeks trying to piece together a Bali trip for me and my wife — flights, hotels, transfers, everything separately. The numbers were not adding up. A friend suggested TourGrids, and honestly I was skeptical at first. One long call later, they sent a full itinerary with three-star beachside hotels, airport transfers, a Ubud day trip, and daily breakfast included. The price was genuinely lower than what I'd calculated doing it myself. No hidden charges came up later, which I was half-expecting. The hotels were proper good, especially the one in Seminyak. Coordinator stayed reachable throughout the trip on WhatsApp. Bali ended up being exactly what we needed.
Bali Hotel Swap Fixed Before Dinner Got Cold
We were already in Ubud when we found out our beachside hotel in Seminyak had a water supply issue and wasn't fit to check in. My wife was upset, I was panicking — we had one night left and no backup. Called our TourGrids coordinator Rajan, and honestly within 40 minutes he had us shifted to a different property on the same stretch, comparable quality, no extra charge to us. He stayed on the call until we confirmed the new booking was showing on our phones. No running around, no arguing over costs. The whole Bali trip was well planned, but that one moment told me these guys actually stay accountable once you're travelling.
