How much is a French-speaking guide in Bali? A government-licensed French-speaking guide from Sekar Bali Activity is IDR 750,000 per booking for 8 hours — not per person. Each extra hour is IDR 150,000. Book only the guide — they meet you at your hotel or first stop — or add a separate private shuttle (car and driver, quoted on WhatsApp). Book a French-speaking guide — WhatsApp, no payment to inquire.

French guide vs driver-guide
Many French travelers book a driver for the day and expect commentary on the way. The driver is not always a licensed guide, and few drivers speak French. A licensed guide holds a Bali KTPP guide card and explains what you are seeing, in French.
| Option | Best if |
|---|---|
| Licensed French guide only — IDR 750,000 / 8 hrs | You already have a car, a scooter driver, or a villa driver |
| French guide + our separate shuttle — shuttle quoted on WhatsApp | You want your own route and need a car (up to 6 guests) |
| Full Day Ubud Tour + French guide | You want car, driver, and guide together — guide IDR 750,000 for the whole 10-hour tour |
| Umah Kuno Luwak Coffee + French guide | You want the plantation and roasting story in French — guide IDR 750,000 for the whole visit |
On our tours, the guide price covers the full scheduled tour. The IDR 150,000 hourly rate only applies if the day runs past the tour's normal length.
A full-day route (8 hours) that works well
- Tirta Empul holy spring — the meaning of the ritual, offerings, and what to wear (temple dress code)
- Tegalalang rice terraces — how the subak irrigation system works
- Ubud palace and art market — royal history and local crafts
Running over? Extra time is IDR 150,000 per hour, booked ahead or settled with us on the day.
Do you need a licensed guide in Bali?
Bali's 2025 code of conduct for foreign visitors, Governor Circular No. 7 of 2025, lists being accompanied by a licensed tour guide at tourist attractions among visitor obligations. Licensed guides carry a KTPP card issued under Bali Provincial Regulation No. 5 of 2016. Ask to see it when you meet. Full details: licensed tour guide in Bali.

- Pick your date, start time, and the pin for your hotel or first stop.
