Good evening, I’m in the same situation. I’m also looking for a French-speaking guide for 2 or 3 days, plus a driver if possible. I’m not sure if taxi rides are reliable or reasonably priced—for example, in April for an Ubud–Munduk route, then Munduk–Mount Batur, etc.

I really want to thank you all so much for your advice and firsthand experiences. Your replies have been super helpful and made my trip planning much clearer.

In the end, I’m going with the middle option: a return flight from Bali to Singapore with Singapore Airlines, arriving at 10 AM, which gives me a comfortable buffer before my 11:40 PM flight to Marseille.

I also plan to apply for the SG Arrival Card for entry into Singapore well in advance to make departure day a lot smoother.

Thanks again for your help—it’s really appreciated! !

Hi Jérôme, Thanks so much for your super detailed feedback and all your advice about the formalities! For my return flight, I’m taking off at 11:40 PM. I’ll probably connect through Denpasar–Singapore–France on my own. I’ve spotted some flights that arrive around 6 PM, which should leave about five hours—hopefully enough time for customs and immigration. Your list of airlines is really thorough. Comparing them, I actually noticed two carriers—Transnusa and Jetstar—that offer pretty competitive checked baggage rates, with schedules that line up well with our connections. Still comparing... Have a great day!

I had a doubt, but this finally confirms my first impression. I made the right choice—it’s clearer now! I opted for a stopover in Singapore to explore the city and avoid paying for an overly expensive direct ticket. I don’t want to overstep, but I’ve read conflicting reviews about vaccines for Bali: some say several vaccines are necessary, while others claim keeping up with DTP is enough. Does anyone have reliable info on this, please? Thanks again for all your feedback. I hope I can share my experience after this first trip to Asia

Hi everyone, Thanks for sharing all this helpful info. Jérôme, could you tell me a bit more about the “multi-segment itinerary” tab, please? As I mentioned in my previous post, I already have my Marseille–Singapore tickets (with a 3-night stopover before heading to Bali) via Munich, but I haven’t booked the Singapore–Bali round-trip yet. I don’t see that tab on my end. Is that normal, or does it only appear at a later stage?

Three nights in Singapore, then off to Bali. I'm still looking for tickets to Bali, but based on the reviews about the airline, I think I'll go with Singapore Airlines.

Hi everyone, and thanks for all your advice! We’ve ended up booking a connection through Munich instead, with 2 h 55 for the layover—it’s much more relaxed and less stressful.

Good evening, Thank you for your valuable advice. I’d like to extend my best wishes for 2026 to you and the entire Voyage Forum team.

Hi there, I’m flying from Marseille to Bali this year and have a 1h30 layover in Frankfurt, from Terminal 1 to Terminal 1. Do you think that’s enough time, considering I don’t know the airport or the language? Thanks. »

Thanks Djalma for the details. As for animals, I’ll stick to those in Bali. Africa is on my travel plans—it’ll probably be next. Happy holidays and have a great end of the year!

Thanks again to both of you for your tips, and to this amazing sharing forum. Thanks to you, I’ve got a much clearer idea of which areas to visit. So we’re going to focus on Bali, Lombok-Gili, and Nusa Penida. I might be pushing it a bit, but you never know ;-) with these three areas, is there any chance of spotting wild cats outside of zoos? Thanks

A huge thanks for all this info! I’ll definitely use your tips for diving and planning our travels.

Hi there,

We’re planning a 17-day trip to Indonesia starting on April 22nd and would love to hear your suggestions. We’re looking for itinerary ideas or places to see monkeys, birds, and beautiful rice terraces, as well as interesting natural spots like lakes or waterfalls. We’d also like to avoid overly long distances and limit ourselves to a maximum of one internal flight. For the last three days, we’d love to end the trip on a stunning beach with the chance to swim with manta rays. If you have any recommendations, must-see spots, or experiences not to miss, we’d be thrilled to hear them. Thanks in advance for your help! 😊
