Tips

Will be leaving for HCMC this evening and will going on a 2-day Mekong Delta tour with Sinh Balo and a one-day Cu Chi tunnel and city tour with a private guide. Do we have to tip the guide and the driver? If so, how much is the going rate?





Tips


Hi bingp,



Tips is Sensitive. It%26#39;s belong to yourkindly. But I can give you basing : 3$/day/person for Guide and 2$/day/peson for drive.



Good luck.



Tips


You don%26#39;t have to . but SHOULD tip your guide %26amp; driver at the end of the trip if you think you have done good jobs.



US$ 20 - 30 for the guide for the whole trip



US$ 10 - 20 for your driver



Good trip, good tips, then good sleep at night



Mr Phuoc






Tipping is one controversial topic on this board, but if you were to tip a private guide and driver, I think the first poster is closer to the mark for a 2 day trip. The second poster%26#39;s amount seems fairly outrageous. Sinhbalo are great, and you won%26#39;t feel at all hesitant about tipping the guide/driver for a fabulous time




The second posted is either a guide or a driver or both.




No the second poster is a GREEDY guide or driver, which is not so uncommon here.
