Roland123 Posted January 27, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I'm British, I don't tip unless I have had exceptional service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted January 30, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2020 We always give $5 minimum, like bus drivers in particular who don't get tipped by everyone. Guides we look at how long we are with them and how much they did. I don't think we have ever stiffed a guide, even a couple of mediocre ones. I would say on an all day excursion we usually give $20-50, depending what it is. We have had some pretty exceptional ones, there in Belize and also a few other destinations.

They must hate it when their party is made up of tight fisted Brits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClevelandCruisin Posted June 30, 2021 #5 Share Posted June 30, 2021 We tip $10 or higher to the tour guide, $5 to the bus driver. Sometimes you'll have multiple guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franktown Posted July 1, 2021 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Same here. $5 to the bus driver and $10 plus to the tour guide depending on the level of service and the length of the tour. You will find some of the tour guides in the Caribbean receive a very minimal salary and count on tips to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
