The food tasting and walking tour in Denpasar costs US$40 per person. Street food tours in Bali, and night market tours in Ubud, also cost approximately US$40 per person. This is a common price point for guided food tours on the island.
The elevated food tour in Ubud is slightly longer than most other tours and it is also more high-end and ‘luxurious’. This tour costs US$100 per person. There are a few other private food tours available for a similar cost.
