While on tour, all service gratuities, including those for local guides, hotel bellmen, restaurant staff and others, have been included in the price of your journey.
In regards to your Tauck tour director and driver:
We ask that you extend gratuities on an individual basis rather than as a group, and we offer the following guidelines to assist you in determining an appropriate amount:
· USD $8 per traveler, per day for the Tour Director, or the equivalent amount in local currency.
· USD $4 per traveler, per day for the driver, or the equivalent amount in local currency.
Please note: Although gratuities represent the majority of your Tauck Director’s compensation, our policy prohibits Tauck Directors from directly soliciting gratuities.
If you are looking for general tipping info for each country while not on tour, I found the link below useful.
