Book the Best of Ubud with DEDE—the best guide!

February 5, 2025

Our tour of Ubud with Dede was the highlight of our trip, and that’s saying a lot! The sites we went to (Monkey Forest, Tengungan Waterfall

D’Alas Swing/Restaurant, Pura Titra Temple, and a few other stops). Dede was super friendly and took care of us all day – highly recommend you get your own driver for a more personalised experience.

Best Tour of Ubud with DEDE, the best guide!

February 5, 2025

I’m not normally big on tours but I am so happy my friend talked me into this one! What a beautiful day we had seeing the sites, learning about Balinese people, culture, and getting a bit of the history with our amazing guide Dede. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, pleasant, professional and accommodating. We were moving from our hotel in Ubud to Canggu and we were able to bring our luggage and have Dede drop us off in Canggu at the end of the tour. He made sure that we and our belongings were always safe. He has such great energy and we had so much fun! I highly recommend visiting all of the spots we visited:

Monkey Forest

Tengungan Waterfall

D’Alas Restaurant & amazing swing

Rice Terrace

Pura Titra Water Temple

Everything is included. He’ll take lots of photos of you & make pit stops whenever you need to. He’ll make sure you don’t get ripped off if you want to shop. Today was definitely the highlight of our trip thus far and that is saying a lot!

DEDE, The most amazing tour guide/driver!!!

February 4, 2025

Words can’t explain how amazing this tour was, and DEDE just made it that much better.

DEDE helped with photos, helped out with our children and taught us so much about the Balinese culture during our tour.

I’ll be recommending to all friends and family that come to Bali to use DEDE.

Honestly speechless with his service today. Such a beautiful person. And took the best photos ever!!!!!

Can’t wait to come back to Bali to have DEDE show us around again.

THE BEST DAY EVER ON UBUD

February 4, 2025

Absolutely the best day we have had so far in Bali DEDE and Yogu looked after us so well. To helping us with our young children holding them up the stairs, to pushing my son in the pram to carrying our bags. Making sure we were so comfortable the whole day. Anything we asked DEDE and Yogu supplied us with great experience, safety and most of all fun. The wisdom that DEDE shared with my husband and I really helped us get through the day with our very small children. Such beautiful people showing us the most beautiful scenery in Ubud! Highly recommend DEDE and Yogu as they made the day so special and fun ! They also take the best photos and always there to capture your special moments with family !

Thank you stay blessed xxx
