spunks Posted August 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2015 We are taking a tour of the City in Barcelona for 20 persons when we disembark. My question is about the tip for the tour operators (guide,driver). We dont want to insult them, nor disappoint them. What is fair?

LondonTowner Posted August 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2015 No more than Euros 100, which I would split 30 for the driver and 70 for the guide, but only if they have been good. In Europe for only 20 pax this is an excellent tip. If they haven't been good, then nothing. I am assuming this is a full day tour. If it is only half a day, then half the tip.

Loonbeam Posted August 11, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 11, 2015 London sounds about right.. One question is how much is the tour PP? If the tour is 50 euros PP, then 5 pp. If it's 150 euros for example I might do a bit more if the guide and driver are good. I use 10 percent for budgeting in Europe, then adjust as seems appropriate on site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campolady Posted August 11, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I use 10 percent for budgeting in Europe, then adjust as seems appropriate on site. 10% is high for Spain unless service has been exceptional. In restaurants 5% is the norm - and many people just round up to the next full Euro! A tour guide and his driver would be pleased to receive a similar tip (like LondonTowner I would split it 70%/30% between the guide and driver).
