The short answer
At Warung Tumang Bali in Petulu, a shared cooking class is IDR 450.000 per guest, up to eight people. A private kitchen is IDR 700.000 for your group only. Both include free Ubud pickup, a rice-field walk, hands-on cooking with Chef Wayan, the meal, and a booklet. Morning adds the market. For two people, private is the lower total.

The two prices, side by side
A shared class at Warung Tumang Bali is IDR 450.000 per guest. Other guests can join until eight seats are full. A private kitchen is IDR 700.000 for your group only — that figure is for the kitchen, not a second per-person fee on top.
Both formats use the same Petulu stove with Chef Wayan Suryana, the same rice-field walk, free pickup in the main Ubud area, a welcome drink, the meal you cook, and a printed recipe booklet. The 8:30am session adds the Ubud morning market. The 2:30pm session skips the market and ends in dinner.
When shared is the better fit
Choose shared if you are solo, or you do not mind a small table of other travelers. Eight is the cap, so the day stays quiet enough to hear the teaching in English. Children who cook pay the adult rate and count toward those eight seats. A family cooking class in Ubud can still be shared when the ages fit the group pace.
For one guest, shared is the lower bill: IDR 450.000 versus IDR 700.000 for a private kitchen. What is included for that shared fee is written out on the inclusions page.
When private is the better fit
Choose private if you want the stove to yourselves — a couple, a family that needs a slower pace, or a group that wants one dietary plan without other guests at the board. Say private when you check dates.
For two guests, private is the lower total: IDR 700.000 for the kitchen versus IDR 450.000 twice (IDR 900.000) on a shared day. That cooking class for two math is why many pairs book private. From south Bali the shuttle is still IDR 650.000 once per booking, shared or private.
The same kitchen rates for island-wide searchers are on the private vs shared cooking class in Bali page.
