Tipping on Excursions

[Gatguy]

We have set up a private tour when we are in port in Roatan - is it custom to tip the tour guide? If, so - what amount would be acceptable to tip for each person on the tour?

 

Thanks

I'd suggest $5-$10 per person as a tip for a full-day tour--or more if you're feeling generous and the guide was exceptional.

If it's strictly transportation,. then it's up to you. If the guide actually "guides" you, and gives you a great experience, then a tip is in order...but it's entirely up to you...it's not a requirement by any means.

It doesn't hurt to ask the guide beforehand (when communicating to setup the tour) what they consider an appropriate tip. It gives you a ballpark upfront and if they exceed your expectations, or deliver service below what you expected, you can adjust the tip up or down accordingly.
