Accessibility:
As our walking tours take place around historic landmarks, there are aspects of our tours that we are unable to alter. These include uneven temple stairs, steep gradients and patchy sidewalks. Guests should be physically capable of climbing steps and prepared to walk around an urban environment for up to 2 hours.
Weather:
There will be times where the weather may affect the tour start time. We operate rain or shine but if the conditions are severe, such as an intense downpour, we’ll call you before the start. Consider this part of your Bali adventure!
Environmental Commitment:
We, at Ubud Story Walks want to do our part and decrease the plastic in Bali’s rivers. Please bring a reusable bottle for water refills.
Temple Etiquette:
Balinese temples are religious and sacred places. To show respect, both men and women must dress modestly by wearing a sarong that covers the legs below the knee. Guests may bring their own sarong or use one provided.
