Ubud Arts & Crafts Shopping Tour

Adult prices from £33, Child prices from £16

This tour only visits art and craft workshops and retail shops with a high standard of work, ensuring you get the chance to buy quality goods and get a real insight into the fantastic skill of the craftsmen who produce intricate and detailed Balinese souvenirs.

The day's first stop is the village of Celuk, renowned for its gold and silver works. Many skilled artisans are surprisingly young boys who create exquisite pieces in gold and silver with delicate filigree work.

Continue to Mas Village, which is famous for its intricate wood carving. Visit the village's workshops and marvel at the hugely talented woodcarvers who fashion various items from ebony and other hardwoods.

Tools used remain pretty basic, including axes, mallets and dozens of small chisels. The finished carving is often polished with a shoe shine.
