Experience Highlights

You meet your guide in central Ubud at 11:00 AM and start walking. The route takes you through the town's backstreets and creative neighbourhoods, stopping at five restaurants chosen for the quality and originality of their food. At each stop, you taste two or more dishes : from creative takes on traditional Balinese flavours to cooking you genuinely won't find anywhere else in Ubud.

Your guide explains the ingredients, the stories behind each place, and the food culture that makes Ubud unlike anywhere else on the island. By the time you're done, you're full, informed, and equipped with a shortlist of places to come back to on your own.

    Flora organised the perfect girls trip for us. From the car picking us up from the airport to the villa, where our scooter and even sim card were waiting for us in a gorgeous villa. The itinerary, the restaurant, sight seeing, loved everything. Simply the best.

    I used baliwithflow services for my second and third trip to Bali as I wanted to have different experiences than the tourist-crowded areas. The team provided clear guidance, very punctual drivers and exceptional experiences. They have a lifetime customer here.
