bakery Posted August 7, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Any advice on what kind of tip I should offer the guide/driver of our tours in St. Petersburg and Berlin? We're doing a two-day tour in St. Petersburg, and both tours are with SpB. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted August 7, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2011 We did the same two tours with SPB in June, the guides were excellent. We tipped 20% which was about $45/pp in SP and $30/pp for Berlin. Have a greeat time in both cities! Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted August 7, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 7, 2011 The SPb website gives recommendations. 2/3 to the guide, 1/3 to the driver. 10% would be the minimum, but many tip more because the service is that good.

Giantfan13 Posted August 7, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 7, 2011 We did the 10%. that was discussed on our roll call and most felt that was a good tip. We did use the SPB formula and gave 2/3 to our guide and 1/3 to the driver. Again, like you would pay them, fairly new bills that are not crumpled.

LostwithoutPockets Posted August 7, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hi all! We'll be taking the Three Baltic Pearls tour - it's $299 for a walking tour of Tallinn, a 2-day tour of St Petersburg, and a bus tour of Helsinki - basically, you pay for St Petersburg and get the other 2 cities free! We don't pay until the 2nd St Petersburg day. My question is how much do we tip each guide? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance the Tallinn tour is 20 Euros, so we tipped our guide 5 Euros for the two of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
