luvinacruise Posted April 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2014 We are booked for a tour with NCL. First time taking a tour. Is it customary to tip the driver and guide? If so what is the general amount. Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CTCruiser001 Posted April 26, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Depends on the tour and where it is...Can you give more information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik101 Posted April 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Most likely, the answer will be yes. But I would like to know also on the details of the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrugler Posted April 26, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2014 There is another thread going on tipping for excursions. The general guideline is 5 for the guide and 3 for the drive for a half day, and double that if it is a full day. IHO, that would be for my wife and I, not per person.

We hope to do a tour in most all ports, Rome,Naples Cannes Florence Madeira. Most that we are looking at are 4 to 5 hr tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger001 Posted April 26, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2014 We tip. I'm guessing though that at least half of every tour group does not. So up to you. We normally tip $5 to tour guide, maybe $3 to $5 to driver for shorter tours. Maybe $10 to tour guide and $5 to driver for longer tours. No right or wrong.

OCruisers Posted April 26, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2014 You will want to leave some sort of tip. The amount depends on the length of the tour. Some people don't tip at all but it is customary to do so. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
