What kind of tipping is required for the driver/guide and around the tour?
Tipping in Malaysia is entirely discretionary. However, some extra money paid for services, such as a taxi ride, is appreciated. In the hotels travellers can add around 5% of their incidental expenses when paying the bill on departure, if service has been good. Government tax is added to all hotel and restaurant bills and this is included in the basic price. However, all incidental hotel expenses will incur a 12% tax, which is generally included in the price quoted.
