What would be a reasonable gratuity for an all day guided tour, percentage wise? Our group of seven booked with DDay battle tours. Thanks
On our 2019 D-Day tour with Overlord, each couple tipped the guide 20 Euros. I know this because we were the last people out of the van and I saw what the others were tipping. He was an excellent guide. If we had not been delighted with his service, we wouldn't have tipped at all.
A reasonable gratuity would be the same percentage that you would give to a tour guide if you were in your home location. What percentage do you normally give? I would never tip less than 20% unless the service provided is incompetent.
I consider myself a relatively generous tipper, but would not not go as high as 20% to a tour guide for a half-day or full-day tour unless the guide had done significant pre-trip research on my family history, etc. When I hit a good guide on a 2-hour walking tour priced around 15 or 20 euros, I'd generally give 5 euros. I've observed that most Europeans don't tip st all for tours like that.
