tipping tour director/driver - Senior Travel Forum

The company you travel should provide guidance. Most major tour operators recommend $ 4 to $ 5 per person per day. If you travel with a couple, according to this standard, you need to make a budget of 8 to 10 dollars a day. The guide is not all couples

If you are not in Europe, who said it is not right to chip in Europe? This is a world standard

(Incidentally, I am a tourism director and I have worked in more than 50 countries.Tips are an important part of my income.The survey of tour places, narration, conferences, airport welcome, hotel reservation handling Optional short trip, punctual patrol, handling all aspects of travel requiring tickets, 24 hours available, illness, death, handling of missing passengers, baggage management, etc. This is my job I am not expecting it, but I always appreciate it.)

A: During a short bus tour (within hours), guided tour advises 10 to 20% of travel expenses. When you say goodbye please hand it to him or her. In some cases, the driver of the charter or tour bus is also urged. If the driver doubles as a guide, it is 1 dollar per person per day. When the driver is particularly kind, a person in charge of a private charter may ask each passenger to donate more than $ 1 to the tip pool. For long-distance trips with no built-in hints, each passenger needs to provide $ 5 to $ 10 for guided tours and $ 5 to $ 10 to drivers.

We have various experiences of traveling tips to Contiki. We have travel information including guide to our travel manager and bus driver. At the end of the trip, our travel manager issued "love notes" and envelopes. Love notes are to write personal messages for the team (a good way to make warm blur at the exact moment of decision!) Envelopes are discontinuous hints. Envelopes are also a great way to take notes instead of coins.

Even experienced travelers sometimes get confused by tilting etiquette. Of course, you know that you should give advice to your guide - but how much? When you calculate dinner tip, do you need to increase tax and expensive wine? Can I accept hints for denial of service? To get help, we hand over the tip problem to etiquette experts. Lizzie Post is the creator and spokesperson of Emily Post Institute, an organization that advertizes etiquette in the United States and around the world. Lizzie is the great grandchild of famous etiquette expert who shares the secret of fall every time (and why bribes dit will not give you the best seat)

The chip driver is part of "party etiquette etiquette". Driver's advice is included in the lease, and no one is unfamiliar. However, another tilt driver is to display the confirmation mark of the host section - that is, thank you for leaving the participant safely after the carnival night
