No. It is not required and not expected of you to tip your guide. However, if one is presented, the guide might accept a gratuity. To guarantee that they are fairly compensated for their time, each guide sets the price of their tours. They do not depend on gratuities from tours as a result. If you want to support your guide, write a review of your tour.

What happens once I make a reservation?
After making the payment, you should wait at least 24 hours prior to the travel date for your Local Expert to confirm the requested date.

Is it possible to py in cash?
We have a policy that states that a reservation can only be verified after a legitimate payment has been made on our website.

How can I find out if a reservation has been confirmed?
