The 10 Best Historical & Heritage Tours in Bali, Indonesia

May 11, 2022 Alida England

Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on a stretch of fine white sand, or commune with the tropical creatures as you dive along coral ridges or the colorful wreck of a WWII war ship. On shore, the lush jungle shelters stone temples and mischievous monkeys. The “artistic capital” of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance, take a batik or silver-smithing workshop, or invigorate your mind and body in a yoga class.

Gita is a very nice guy with good English speaking skills and a very good mobile photographer too. So we didn’t have hard time in Bali. We saw putu’s number in TripAdvisor and then he arranged our 2 days trip which was awesome. Thanks for your friendly services. Best wishes my friend. Love from Nepal????????????????

Private day tour. You will see locations that are my favourites as well as famous landmarks and attractions. See Bali with Henni's eyes. Up to 3 people can be guided at once. This is a personal and private tour. You will not be taken to places that other guides are paid commission to bring you too, I am honest and want nothing other than for you to have the best possible experience. We will visit multiple locations and there will be walking required. Attraction entry prices are not included. The tour price is for up to 3 people in one group. You will find an experienced female tour guide has a different view of Bali than your average guide does :) My customers are my number one priority and I will always look after you first and foremost. More than one day can be booked and may be needed if you have many locations you wish to see. let me know at the time of booking if you want a multi day tour. Read my REAL reviews and see why people choose me over other tour guides.

Inclusions: In-person guide

Awesome tour. The guides were really nice and professy. We enjoyed every peace of it. Mount Batur is a steep hike but worth everything when you get to the top. The coffee plantation tour was really interesting as well. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are in Bali.

We enjoyed the Monkey Temple, Ubud Palace, the markets and elephant cave but we were rushed. We could of had a shorter lunch break to make the most of the attractions. Monkey temple was great to watch the monkeys interact with themselves. I don’t feel a silver jewellery maker and jewellery store counts as a Bali village. I did enjoy watching the people work with the silver, just not what was expected.
