1. How much should I tip my guide and driver after the Tibet tour?
Generally, it is recommended to tip your tour guide and driver together around RMB 50 (USD 7) per day. You can tip them at the end of your tour before leaving. Of course, you can tip more or less according to your satisfaction.
Tipping in Tibet is not customary or required, but it is a good way to support local tour guides, as most of them are the only ones working to support their families.
Therefore, if you are satisfied with their service, you can give them an appropriate tip as an encouragement at the end of your Tibet tour.
