Tips
I recently got my final documents which suggested $15 per person per day for the travel director and $10 per person per day for the driver. I've seen others mention it here and it looks like cash is preferred. My question is: Do we pay this all at once or every day? If it's all at once, do we give it on the last day? I just want to be prepared. Thanks.

Last day, usually at the Farewell Dinner...hope this helps!
It is customary to give the tour director’s gratuity at the farewell party. She/he will advise the last day that the coach driver will be with the group. Sometimes there are more than one drivers. Again, you will be advised.
Typically, your final documents will indicate U.S. currency and/or the equivalent in local currency.
Last day, farewell dinner
I always ask the TD, “ Is this the last time we will see [ fill in the name ], our bus driver?
Great point, SandyFeet. In most cases the driver doesn't attend Farewell Dinners on the last night.
In Morocco we made a mad dash back down to the coach to give our proper thank-you's to our driver before he left.
