6 Things to Know Before You Go on a Tour in Ubud!
1. Wear comfortable shoes – Since you’ll be walking for two to three hours, it’s important to wear shoes that are comfortable and supportive. You’ll encounter uneven surfaces, temple stairs, and urban streets, so good footwear is a must.
2. Dress modestly – When visiting Bali’s temples, both men and women need to wear a sarong that covers their legs. Most tours provide sarongs, but you can also bring your own. Additionally, it’s good to wear clothes that cover your shoulders as a sign of respect in sacred places.
3. Stay hydrated – Bali can be hot and humid, so it’s easy to get dehydrated. Bring a reusable water bottle to refill during the tour. Many tours offer water or drinks, but it’s always best to have your own supply.
4. Protect yourself from the sun – Bali’s tropical climate means the sun can be intense, especially during the day. Wearing sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses will help keep you comfortable while you explore.
5. Respect local customs – Balinese temples and landmarks are sacred, so it’s important to follow local customs. Speak quietly, don’t touch sacred objects, and always be respectful to the local guides and community members.
6. Book your tour in advance – Ubud tour groups are often small to keep the experience intimate, so spots fill up quickly. It’s a good idea to book your tour ahead of time to ensure you get a spot and avoid last-minute disappointment.

Ubud Story Walks is something different. It’s a fun, entertaining and refreshing way to delve into Ubud’s past. The knowledgeable guides place as much emphasis on how they tell a story as they do on what they’re sharing, which means all sorts of magical and mystifying details are revealed. I believe the best way to get to know a place is to walk its streets, which makes Ubud Story Walks one of the best ways to get to know Ubud.

We had a fantastic time walking around the historical centre of Ubud! Even though we've been based in Bali for a few years, we'd never had an actual tour of some of Bali's most iconic landmarks and learning about the history was fascinating. Our guide was hilarious and full of information and it was a lovely and relaxing way to learn so much. The tour was early in the morning which was perfect timing as the temperature was still cool and we were able to witness the morning bustle of Ubud's famous markets. 10/10 would recommend!
