About this tour
A six-hour guided tour through Ubud's artisan quarters and markets, starting with hotel collection. You'll watch batik artisans at work, visit silversmiths in Celuk Village, and browse the Traditional Market for locally made textiles, carvings and crafts at genuine prices. The driver navigates you between workshops and stalls while explaining techniques and haggling customs. Best suited to those wanting hands-on insight into how Balinese makers actually work, rather than a passive shopping spree.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel and driven to artisan studios where craftspeople demonstrate batik dyeing and weaving—expect close-quarters observation and the chance to ask questions. Next, Celuk Village shows you working silversmiths; many will sell directly. The Traditional Market is lively and cramped; bring cash in small denominations. Haggling is expected. The pace is relaxed; you'll spend 45 minutes to an hour at each stop. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. No meals provided.
Good to know
Maximum 10–15 minute wait at hotel pickup; arrive early. Bring cash for purchases and haggling. The tour suits all fitness levels but involves walking uneven market floors. Infants must sit on a lap. Confirm pickup time the day before. Allow for traffic delays.
