Tour Director
On international tours, it is customary to tip your full-time Tour Director a minimum of $5-$6 per person per day.
Tour Guides
It looks like we will have six days of guided sightseeing tours. If the guide is good, it is customary to tip $1/person.
Bus Driver
On international tours, each participant is expected to tip their bus driver $3 per person per day.
On the Cruise
It is customary to tip $5-8/night per person. Our cruise is a three night cruise.
Egyptians are happy to take US Dollars. Therefore, we will be collecting $40 for our Tour Director, $6 for the local guides, $14 for the bus driver (we will be using two buses while going around Cairo), and $15 for the cruise. The total is: $75/person. We can decide as a group when we want to collect this money.
Other Miscellaneous Expenses/Costs
Meals while traveling to and from Egypt, $15 for an Egyptian Visa (obtained when we land in Cairo), lunch when not on the cruise, beverages (bottled water, etc...), phone calls home, and souvenirs. One checked bag per person will be taken care of by Explorica (so no bag fees if you pack light).
