A Private Bali Tour is one of the best ways to explore Bali comfortably while enjoying a flexible itinerary with a professional local driver. Recently, our Bali Tour Drivers team had the pleasure of accompanying a lovely couple from France staying at Pita Maha Ubud on a memorable Private Bali Tour. Their journey included two of Bali’s most famous temples, a delicious Balinese lunch, and an afternoon exploring the cultural heart of Ubud.

This Private Bali Tour started at 9:30 AM and offered the perfect combination of history, culture, nature, and authentic local cuisine.
Morning Pickup from Pita Maha Ubud
Our Private Bali Tour began with a pickup at Pita Maha Ubud at 9:30 AM. After greeting our guests and introducing the itinerary, we drove directly toward Taman Ayun Temple, one of Bali’s most beautiful royal temples.
The drive from Ubud took approximately one hour while the guests enjoyed the peaceful countryside scenery along the way.
Visiting the Beautiful Taman Ayun Temple
We arrived at Taman Ayun Temple around 10:30 AM. Before entering the temple complex, I dropped the couple near the entrance gate and helped them take several beautiful photos with the impressive temple and traditional Balinese architecture in the background.
After taking photos, they entered the temple grounds to explore the peaceful gardens, lotus ponds, and impressive multi-tiered shrines. They were also interested in seeing the traditional cockfighting arena, which is historically connected to temple ceremonies and Balinese cultural traditions.
As part of this Private Bali Tour, the guests appreciated learning about Balinese history, local customs, and the significance of Taman Ayun as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Around 11:30 AM, they completed their visit and continued to the next destination.
Exploring the Iconic Tanah Lot Temple
The next stop on this Private Bali Tour was the world-famous Tanah Lot Temple. We arrived around 12:00 PM.
The couple spent approximately one and a half hours exploring the entire temple area. They walked along the coastal pathways, admired the spectacular ocean views, photographed the iconic sea temple from several viewpoints, and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere created by the waves crashing against the rocks.
Tanah Lot remains one of the most popular highlights of any Private Bali Tour because it perfectly combines Balinese spirituality with breathtaking coastal scenery.
They finished exploring at approximately 1:30 PM.
Authentic Balinese Lunch at Bebek Tebasari Lodtunduh
Before returning to the hotel, the guests decided they would like to enjoy lunch.
I recommended Bebek Tebasari Lodtunduh, a popular local restaurant well known for its Balinese specialties. We arrived around 2:30 PM.
The couple chose chicken satay and fried rice for lunch while relaxing in the peaceful restaurant surrounded by tropical gardens. It was the perfect opportunity to recharge after visiting two famous temples.
Good local food is always an enjoyable part of a memorable Private Bali Tour, allowing visitors to experience authentic Balinese flavors alongside cultural attractions.
Afternoon Visit to Ubud Center
After lunch, the couple requested one more stop before returning to the hotel.
We drove to Ubud Center, arriving around 4:30 PM, where they explored several famous attractions within walking distance, including:
Ubud Palace
They admired the traditional royal architecture and learned about the historical importance of the Ubud Royal Palace.
Ubud Art Market
The couple enjoyed browsing local handicrafts, handmade souvenirs, paintings, woven bags, and traditional Balinese products.
Pura Saraswati
Their final stop was the beautiful Pura Saraswati, famous for its elegant lotus pond and stunning temple architecture, making it one of Ubud’s most photogenic locations.
After exploring Ubud Center, we returned to Pita Maha Ubud, where the Private Bali Tour concluded.
