Tipping Policy
The question of tips is always very delicate. At first it is not compulsory, but it is a very present custom in tourism, by basing itself on the degree of satisfaction regarding services provided.Actually, it became traditional to give a tip to the baggage handlers in hotels, the drivers of rickshaw, the driver and especially guides. This fact is practical and depends on a scale at least.
Secondly we advise you not to give too small tips. It's better to give nothing than to give a too modest sum.
