  I had such a great experience exploring Ubud’s vegan food scene with my guide, Ayu! The restaurants selected were excellent, with really thoughtful, creative vegan food that showcased the quality of local ingredients and the talent of the chefs behind each dish.

Ayu was incredibly knowledgeable, not just about the food itself, but also the restaurants, chefs, and the history of Ubud and its local community. She also shared some really interesting insights into organic farming and local food production practices, which added a lot of depth to the experience.

Beyond her knowledge, Ayu is just a genuinely interesting person. She was easy to talk to, a great conversationalist, and clearly has a deep connection to the community. It felt less like a formal tour and more like spending the afternoon exploring Ubud with a knowledgeable local friend. I came away with a much deeper appreciation for the city, its food, and the people behind it. Highly recommend Bali Culinary Tours!

  A great tour of the morning market! We easily booked the tour the day prior, which was great for our flexible plans. Our tour guide, Putu, met us early in the morning, and we started with an amazing green bean porridge that I never would have tried without the tour. Putu was very knowledgeable about the market and I learned a lot of Ubud modern culture through this tour. Unfortunately, one of our stops was already sold out by the time we stopped by, so I did not get to try the rice porridge, but the cafe that we went to after the morning market to get Bali coffee made up for that! It was such a cool and interesting cafe spot that we went back there for dinner later in our trip! All the best to Putu, he was friendly and very knowledgeable about Bali and its culture. I highly recommend starting any time in Ubud with this tour to try some good food and learn about the city!

  Amazing! I had my lovely guide Davi to myself and she was fantastic. She knew every single dish at every place we went to off by heart - she didn’t have to ask the staff. She also gave me a real insight into the Balinese culture and traditions. My highlight was the traditional ceremonial dish which was served from a family home. Thank you Davi for not making a solo tour feel awkward, and thanks for sharing your knowledge and culture with me. I forgot to take a photo of the plant based dessert but it was delicious too.

  We had a fantastic day filled with walking through lovely pathways, learning about Balinese culture, gorgeous plant-based restaurants and of course, delicious FOOD! Ayu was the perfect guide. She taught us so much about Balinese people and daily life that we never would have learned about and her passion for sharing shines through. We had a phenomenal time and can’t recommend this tour enough. If we had more time we would do it again! (Though we would probably still be full!)
