pirokp Posted September 24, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi, I have read so many past threads that my head is spinning. The amount that people are tipping in Egypt for tours seems to vary so much. My husband and I have a private driver and guide, for an all day tour from Alexandria to the pyramids, Cairo, etc. Cost is $200 total. What is expected, and appropriate for the driver and the guide?? I appreciate all of your help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted September 24, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Often tipping varies by country you are from and country you are visiting and your own views. I go into it with the idea of a 10% to 15% tip. If I am not pleased with the tour I would tip no more than the 10% and possibly even less if the tour guide and driver were not to my liking. If I am happy with the tour I would tip around the 15% and if it was exceptional likely a little more. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fblack Posted September 24, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2012 For me, 2 people (driver and a separate guide) two tips. 10% to the driver and 15%+/- depending on the guides level of expertise and service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirokp Posted September 25, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Thank you both! I am going to stick with 10% to the driver, and 15% to the guide, if we are pleased. This helped a lot, thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
