Tipping Tipping is a personal expense and is up to each individual. Amounts should be based on the quality of service. Below is a general guide. Hotel / Restaurant staff: We suggest 1 – 2 USD per person for room service. Restaurant service is generally 7 to 10 percent of total bill. Baggage Handling: Porters at airports or hotels generally receive 1USD per bag; railway porters 1 -2 USD per bag, depending on weight. Set the rate before he takes your bags. Driver / guides: For driver, tip him 4 5 USD for a full day. For out of town trips, calculate around 5 USD per day. Local Guides receive 4-5 USD for full day. Tour Escorts: An average gratuity to an escort is 5 USD per person per day at the end of the tour.
