Overview

Spend time in a Balinese family home in Marga, Tabanan, and see how village life really works day to day.

This is a private tour: only your group joins, and your driver is also your guide. We start when you like, pace the day to your group, and leave room for coffee, questions and the occasional change of plan.

Because this tour is private, it only ever has your group. We can slow down, skip a stop, or stay longer where you want to.

How the day goes

  1. 09:00

    Pickup

    Your driver brings you to the village, about an hour away.

  2. 10:30

    Family compound

    Meet the family, see the shrines, and join in preparing offerings.

  3. 12:30

    Home-cooked lunch

    A family lunch, cooked on a wood fire.

  4. 14:30

    Walk the rice fields

    A slow walk with a local farmer.

This is a plan, not a script. Because the tour is private, we can slow down, skip or add stops on the day.

Pick your style

Flexible

From $50 per car

A private car with a driver who is also your guide, for up to 5 guests. You pay for tickets and activities as you go, and decide on the day which ones you want.

Best if you like to keep options open.

All inclusive

+ $25 per person, on top of the car

The car price above, plus entrance tickets and the main activities for each guest. Nothing to pay on the day.

Best if you want a smooth, no-wallet day.

The car price stays the same for 1 to 5 guests. A standard car seats up to 6, and 5 is the comfortable maximum. Bigger group? We arrange a larger vehicle and confirm the price on WhatsApp.

Example: 4 guests, All inclusive = $50 + 4 x $25 = $150 in total. We confirm one clear price on WhatsApp before you book.

Pickup in Ubud is included. Staying elsewhere? A small extra applies: Sanur and Denpasar +$10, Canggu and Seminyak +$15, Uluwatu and Nusa Dua +$20. We tell you before you book.

Questions and answers

Is this tour really private?

Yes. Only your group joins, never other guests.

Can we change the route?

Yes. Tell us on WhatsApp before the day, or ask your driver on the day. Most changes are easy.

What if it rains?

We keep going where it is safe and adjust the order of stops. If the day is not safe for you, we reschedule at no cost.

What is the difference between Flexible and All inclusive?

Flexible covers the car, driver and guide, and you pay for tickets and activities as you go. All inclusive adds the entrance tickets and main activities, so there is nothing to pay on the day.

How many guests fit in one car?

A standard car seats up to 6, and 5 is the comfortable maximum. For a bigger group we arrange a larger vehicle and confirm the price on WhatsApp.

What guests say

Sample review. We had two kids and a grandmother in the car, and it worked. Water, snacks and lots of patience.
