We have beaten this one to death also, but I see this is your first post. If you do a ‘search’ you will see lots of opinions. Your green book will give you guidance, but I think they recommend $10 per day per person for the tour director, and they may recommend something for certain types of drivers. My policy is this: If I pay for it I tip, but other than the tour director, if Tauck pays for it, they tip, I do not. I tip generously for personal services, but I consider the all inclusive trip to be “all inclusive”.
Most tour companies are now including tips in the fare but I was surprised to see that our upcoming Tauck trip does not cover tips for the tour director or the bus driver. Hmmm.
