It is customary worldwide to pay tips to Tour Directors and Drivers on all International vacations. However, vacation prices do not include tips and we recommend that these are paid at the end of the tour as per international norms at the suggested gratuity as mentioned in the travel documents. For 2009 vacations, you may also pre-purchase gratuity at the time of booking so you don’t have to budget for spending this at the end of the tour.
