Preparation
Tipping, made easy
)
Two stress-free options. One less thing to worry about.
Included tipping
Build tipping right into your tour price and let EF handle it end-to-end. Travellers contribute through their monthly payments, and tips are arranged in advance—so there’s no cash to collect, carry, or convert.
Here’s how it works:
No collecting cash or converting currency
Travellers can pay gradually with their monthly payments
Tips for your Tour Director, local guides, and drivers are covered in advance
Tour Director receives a small supplement for managing this on tour
Cash tipping
Prefer to handle tipping yourself? You can collect tips in cash before departure and manage distribution directly while on tour.
Here’s how it works:
Collect a set amount per person before the trip
Hand out tips to Tour Director, local guides, and drivers during the tour
Prepare the funds in local currency for convenience
Note: The total amount averages around $18 CAD per person per day, including a small buffer for extras or exceptional service. Domestic Tours (Canada & U.S.): Tips are already included in the program fee. No extra steps required.
