Afloat Posted March 7, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2016 My wife and I have booked private shore excursions for several of the ports on our Mediterranean cruise. Forgive me if this has been covered in other threads, but what is the suggested gratuity for the driver and for the guide for an all day tour? What is the suggested gratuity if the driver and guide are one in the same? The tours are not inexpensive but I want to do what is appropriate. Thank you.

Tipping in Europe is nothing like it is in North America. 5% is ample - and only if service Is good; would divide it 70% for the guide and 30% for the driver. Have a read through all of the following thread to see the reaction to the first reply - it was on the Italy forum but is relevant to all of the Med ports http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2283482 Edited March 7, 2016 by campolady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
