Tour Guide Tips - Dollars or Yen?

MM Walsh

Do the tour guides prefer to receive one currency over another at the end of the tour? Do most people tip in Dollars or Yen?

I always tip with dollars and it I have any local currency left over I add it to the tip.

Be assured that the tour guides will take money in any form. I almost alway tip in dollars unless, like Gladysorlando, I have some left over local currency.

Same as Gladys, dollars and any left over local money.

What’s the standard tip for Tour Directors?

Tauck recommends USD $12 per traveler per day. The details can be found on page 17 of the travel documents.

$12 per person per day. Apparently some people think it is per couple.
