How much to tip Victor's drivers??

[cbressler76]

How much should we tip the driver on Victor's tour? .....and do we feed him/her lunch? Thanks!

We usually tip 15-20% depending on the service. (or more depending on how much we enjoyed our day!) My DH and i spent many years of our lived depending on tips so we tend to be more generous than those who have not worked in the service industry!

 

When we have used a private guide we have always asked them for recommendations for lunch and invited them to join us as our treat. It is a great way to get to know them better and enjoy some time with them when you share a meal. We have never felt any pressure to do it though so don't feel obligated.

 

Hope this helps!

When we were there in the spring- the cost was $40 per person for the day. We paid $50 each. We offered to buy our guide lunch but he declined.

We also tipped $10 pp. The tour with Anthony was the highlight of our cruise.

 

P.S. Hi Sue!!

$10.00 seems to be the typical. However, we had such a great tour guy - Tex that my friend and I tipped him $20 each! First time I've tipped that much but he was worth it and we loved our tour. We didn't eat lunch with him though.
