Top Notch Tour Around Ubud!
Derry was very accommodating, friendly and a safe driver! It's about a 2hr drive from Nusa Dua to Ubud. Derry accommodated is with a brief stop on the way for souvenirs. The first stop was the Waterfall (~1hr to explore, 10 min walk down/up to parking). Then to the Monkey Forest (~1hr to explore). Keep your things close, the Monkeys will steal them and barter for food. Ate lunch at Alas Harum Bali, beautiful views but was pre-defined menu with a choice of 7 Indonesian dishes. Regular menu/drinks available at your own cost. Service was extremely slow and unorganized. Finally had to ask for the bill (menu items), and we never did receive our dessert. This is also where you do the swing (long dress for ladies extra 150k Rp each, choose your color). Rice fields are just across the street! Absolutely Beautiful (~30 min to explore). We ran out of time due to excess traffic throughout the day, slow service from the restaurant, and sunset quickly approaching. Unfortunately we were unable to see the Temple. ~2hr drive back to Nusa Dua where Derry kindly taught us some of the Balinese language on the way! We Highly Recommend Derry as a driver! However, if you want to spend more than an hour in any of these places, book a tour with less visits... just not enough time in a single day to truly enjoy everything without feeling rushed.
