Etiquette pros share the rules of the road.
Hiring a tour guide is a great way to get an insider experience of any new place you visit. They know the sites, the activities worth trying, and the history of the place—meaning you'll be able to make the most of your vacation. Hirst says that you should always plan on tipping your tour guides for leading the tour and providing a memorable experience.
Unsure how much to budget for? Most experts recommend tipping between 10 and 20 percent of the cost of the tour.When you're in vacation mode, you may have a heightened awareness of all of the travel-related tips you'll need to dole out. Yet Hirst says it's important not to let everyday tipping fall by the wayside as you explore your new surroundings.
"Even though you're traveling, you still need to tip for services that you would normally tip in your day-to-day life," she tells."The barista at the coffee shop, the server at the restaurant, and the valet attendant all still need to be tipped while you are traveling. Unless local customs say otherwise, services you tip at home still need to be tipped while traveling."
Smith adds that by researching the tipping culture of any international destination, you can avoid an embarrassing oversight. And remember—though tipping courtesies vary widely from place to place, you're far more likely to offend by forgetting to tip than by tipping when you shouldn't.
