This study analyses the influence of tour guides' communication competence on German tourists' satisfaction at Asian Trails Indonesia. Communication competence is divided into two dimensions: verbal and non-verbal. The research was conducted at PT. Asian Trails Indonesia office in Denpasar, Bali, with data collection from January to May 2025. The research used a quantitative approach with a saturated sampling technique of 120 German tourists. Data was collected through questionnaires with a Likert scale of 1-5. Data analysis used multiple linear regression with SPSS version 26. The results showed that: (1) Verbal communication competence has a positive and significant effect on German tourists' satisfaction with a t-value of 9.061 and significance of 0.000; (2) Non-verbal communication competence has a positive and significant effect on German tourists' satisfaction with a t-value of 4.281 and significance of 0.000. The coefficient of determination value (adjusted R²) of 0.705 indicates that 70.5% of the variation in tourist satisfaction can be explained by the tour guides' verbal and non-verbal communication competence.
