TEMPLES & SHRINES · SHOW
The dawn slots and the capped tickets go weeks ahead. Below: the 11 to book early, what each includes and how they differ once you are inside.
You’ll watch a one-hour Kecak and Fire Dance at Uluwatu Temple, where rhythmic chanting, Ramayana scenes, colorful costumes, and fire unfold above the Indian Ocean. Choose the 6 PM show for sunset, arrive early for a seat, and bring cash for the separate temple entry fee.
“It was an amazing experience. Definitely go to the 6pm showing to see the sunset!”
Visit Uluwatu Temple before watching the Kecak fire dance at 6:00 or 7:00 PM. Guides such as D’Put, Agus Mahawan, Alex, and Abu help with temple stories, photos, seating, and monkey safety. Choose entry only or add pickup from selected Bali areas.
“Alex was an excellent guide! He got in touch before the tour, was on time and showed us around while keeping us safe from monkeys that stole other people's glasses & hats. Alex even took us to a great restaurant after our tour!”
At Sala Temple, José Luis Turiegano Marcos presents an intimate one-hour flamenco show for about 40 people near Madrid’s Royal Palace. Expect live guitar, singing, and powerful dancing at close range. Your ticket includes sangria, beer, wine, or a non-alcoholic drink, with tapas available to order.
“The actual performance was amazing, better than I had expected & a drink was included in the ticket which was great. The venue was a bit confusing to find but not bad at all.”
Spend an evening at Kanda Myojin Shrine with a samurai theater performance based on Taira no Masakado. Arrive from 7 PM for drinks and optional Japanese food, watch the main show from 8:15 to 9:15 PM, then meet the performers and take photos until 10 PM.
“This show was amazing!! Beautiful stories and the performances were incredible. I highly recommend going. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly shame two French people that were recording videos the entire performance. Disgusting behavior during such an incredible experience.”
Visit India Gate and central Delhi before exploring Akshardham’s exhibitions, temple carvings, and 12-minute cultural boat ride. Your private guide, such as Anas, SK, or Anmol, explains the symbolism and helps with strict entry rules before the 24-minute evening water and light show.
“Thanks to Annis for a wonderful day around Delhi. He provided a lot of information to the places we visited and even though Delhi is hectic it didn’t feel that way on the tour.”
You’ll watch a one-hour Kecak and Fire Dance at De Jukung Resto & Bar, about 100 meters from Tanah Lot Temple. Arrive by 5:30 PM for the 6:00 PM show, and consider temple entry or pickup options. Guides such as Wijana, Putu, Kemi, Komang, and Jeni may accompany selected tours.
“Amazing day and we had a great guide! Recommended ❤️”
Meet your guide beside the RAMAYANA BALLET sign, skip the ticket counter, and watch Javanese dance, gamelan, fire, and legend unfold. Add a guided Prambanan visit from about 2:30 PM, or choose hotel pickup and return for an easier evening. Guides such as Budi and Lois help explain the story.
“Guide met me on time , lead me to the seats and was available for any doubts/ questions that I had .”
Spend eight hours with a private or small-group team exploring Prambanan at sunset, then watch the Ramayana Ballet. English-speaking drivers such as Judi, Luppa, Dwi, and Bowo have been praised for helpful service. Dinner is extra, and outdoor performances run Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
“Our guide was amazing! We learned so much about the local history and learned some of the language. The show is a blast 😊”
Visit Akshardham Temple with a private guide such as Mayank or Micky, then watch its evening water and light show. Hotel or airport pickup, bottled water, temple exhibitions, India Gate, and Gandhi Smriti are included. Electronics stay in the free cloakroom.
“Beautiful temple and awesome water/light show. Had a blast visiting thee biggest Hindu temple in the world, even if photos aren't allowed. Mayan was a great tour guide who taught me a lot about the temple and the Hindu religion. Panama was a great driver too.”
Travel by private air-conditioned car from your Delhi hotel or airport to Akshardham Temple. A local English-speaking guide helps you see the temple, value-themed exhibits, 3D dioramas, film, and evening water show. Guides may include Payal, Raji, or Virendra Singh Rathore.
“This was an amazing experience. The driver Raji and tour Guide Payal were not just helpful but treated me like a friend, very meaningful if you are traveling solo. I would recommend this trip to anyone I know.”
