According to the UN World Trade Organization, there are three kinds of tours - domestic, inbound, and outbound - and thus three kinds of tour operators who hire tour directors. Many companies offer both domestic and outbound tours.
The tipping package will vary due to tour length and inclusions. A classic style tour will cost approximately $11 per person, per day and Small Group Explorations style tour will be approximately $14 per person, per day. An additional $3 per person will be added for each additional guide that the tour may include.
WHAT TO EXPECT. A professional driver in an executive car will collect you from your home and take you to the airport. On your arrival back, your driver will be waiting to take you home. This is a truly luxurious way to begin and end your Collette experience.
Most etiquette experts suggest a tip of 10-20% of the cost of a tour for outdoor guides like ours. A typical gratuity on a full-day tour is $20-$40 per person, and on a half-day trip, $15-$20 per guest. Exceptional service often earns more: Did they go out of their way to show you something you're interested in?
By reserving large groups of people, these companies are able to get a cheaper price, which makes the price per person cheaper as well. This is great if you have a large family, or a large group trying to travel together. If you are looking to save money, a group tour is definitely the best way to do that.
