Most "Bali guide" listings are really a car charter with a driver who speaks some English. This is the other way round: you book the licensed guide first, and transport is your choice. The guide meets you at your hotel or your first stop, and the guide's own transport is included.
You can book only the guide, or add a separate private shuttle — a car and driver for the whole guided day, extra hours included, for up to 6 guests per car. The shuttle is priced on WhatsApp for your route; bigger groups get a van quote. Tick "Private shuttle" in the booking form.
Prefer a set route? Book the Full Day Ubud Tour or the Half Day Ubud & Tanah Lot and add the same licensed guide on top.
