Private Guide extra expenses?

If you hire a private guide and go somewhere with an entry fee, is the traveler expected to pay for the guide's entry fee, or is the guide responsible for that expense? Same with shuttle or other transportation fees. I am curious about the etiquette. This will be in Alsace region of France.

Typically guides get in free. Regardless, I have never paid for a guide's entry to a site.
As to other expenses, it's not a matter of etiquette, but what the terms and conditions of the booking are. Sometimes fees are covered, sometimes they are not. Read the details in the booking description.
