Any recommendation for tipping a tour guide on the My Way tours? I know RS says included but is it appropriate to tip the guide and bus driver at the end regardless. I am sure it will be well worth it! Thanks, any suggestions appreciated.

Are you asking about tipping yourself on a self guided tour? We always tip modestly -- perhaps 10% of tour cost.

Frank I'm sure you're a much better guide than that, 20% is more appropriate /s

If they've gone to the trouble to include the tip in the price, you'd be opening a can of worms. Next others will feel pressure and wonder what they should do, how much, what if I don't. Isn't the point of including the tips to avoid that US tipping frenzy nightmare.
You can show appreciation buying them a drink, bringing a tiny gift, writing sterling reviews.

Check out #4 on Rick’s 10 commitments. No tips allowed. That’s one of the reasons I choose RSE.

Thanks, I wasn’t sure if the guided tour vs the My Way tours were different in this regard. Will try to find something there or bring a small gift from home then.
