Do you tip taxi drivers in Amsterdam?

It's not necessary to tip your taxi drivers in the Netherlands, but you can round up the bill or tip one or two euros if you like. Dutch taxis are already expensive thanks to high gas prices and taxes, so drivers don't expect tips. Of course, if you received great service, it may be worth letting them know.
