In Vietnam, tipping for good service in tourism is now expected & very much appreciated.. It is customary, though not compulsory, to tip tour guides and drivers at the end of a tour. Hotel and station porters should also be tipped, especially if the service exceeds expectations.
If you consider tipping tour guides, drivers, hotel staff, boat crews, waiters or waitresses, and cyclo drivers here are a few tips that can help you along you way:
- If someone ever politely declines your tip, thank them, take back your tip, and please do not overly press the issue (this is normal Vietnamese culture);
- If you want to tip the hotel staff, ask if there is a community tip box;
- A fair tip for tour guides on a one-day tour is from $5 to $10, for driver is half of it. But it is completely up to you, you can give more than the standard if our staff are doing great job.
- People rarely tip at street-food stands;
- There is no standard amount or percentage for tipping;
- For or multi-day tours you might tip more depending on how long the trip was, the quality of your guide, etc. (this was added thanks to Barry’s questions below)
