karen of PA Posted April 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2013 We are taking a Princess cruisetour - cruise first, land second. It is a seven night land tour (not connoisseur). I was wondering if there will be a tour guide with us on the land tour. If there is, will the same guide typically remain with the tour for the duration of the trip? If so, can anyone give me an idea of how much the guide should be tipped. I know it would depend on the service provided but I would just like a general idea of what others have done in the past. I realize that we would have different tour guides for our individual excursions but is there one overall tour guide for the group? Thanks, Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserny Posted April 1, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Princess does not have dedicated tour guides. There will be a bus driver/guide for any coach portion and a train guide for train segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they do, but only for connosseiur cruisetours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Karen This is from Princess's Frequently Asked Questions: Q. SHOULD I TIP THE TOUR GUIDE? A. Tipping is a discretionary matter; however, it is customary, if one is pleased with their tour, to tip the tour guide. A general rule of thumb is $2 per person for a half-day tour and $5 per person for a full-day tour. This is significantly lower than what we normally tip.

shazz56 Posted April 3, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Actually, they do, but only for connosseiur cruisetours. We are booked on Diamond Princess for the 7 day cruise and 7 day land tour which was booked through an online travel agent. How do i know if we are on the 'Connosseiur' land tour? Really counting the days now... cheers sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
