Tipping-Bob's Tours and Salzburg Cooking Class

Hello-I have two questions about tipping in Austria.

  1. My mother and I are doing a full-day tour with Bob's Tours. What would you recommend for a gratuity? Should there be a separate gratuity for the driver AND the guide?

  2. We are also doing a 2 hour cooking class in Salzburg (apple strudel and Christmas cookies-YUM!). Do you have a recommendation for a tip for that activity?

I want to be appropriate, but not over-tip or be stingy. Thanks for any advice that you could give!

When we took a Bob’s tour the driver was also the guide. We tipped, but I don’t remember how much. Not as much as we might in the U.S.

We took a cooking class in Italy some years ago and I don’t believe we tipped.

1 - I’d tip 5 - 10 Euro total.

2 - I wouldn’t tip.

LOL! That is really helpful, Emily, and the exact kind of info I was hoping for. Thank you!

No idea about that font above! Sorry!

you put a hashtag/number key/pound symbol "#" before the digit 1 and 2? Tells the markup to make it a headline.
