Is tipping included and if not, how much should I tip?
Tipping is an expected – though not compulsory – component of your tour program here in the United Kingdom, and an expression of satisfaction with the guide who has assisted you on your tour.
Tips are not included in the tour price however, it is customary to tip tour guides £2-£5 per tour, though the amount is always at your discretion.
Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides. You may do this individually, or your guide will offer to collect the money and tip as a group.
