About.com has a Tipping Guide for travelers that further suggests that the tour guide should receive a tip of 10% to 20% of the tour cost. As a last thought, the guide still needs to earn his or her tip. Just with any other profession, the tip should match the level of service.

A shampoo person, food/grocery loaders, a barber (if he/she charges under $20), or a parking valet, maid service at hotels, buffet restaurant servers, Uber drivers—I think $2 would be considered a 'good' tip. Anywhere from $2–$3 for someone providing these services I think is a pretty darn good tip!
