Recommended Tipping Guideline
Tipping is on a VOULUNTARY BASIS ONLY. We believe tipping as a reward for the service and hard work provided by our guides, drivers, porters, and maids while in China. Our guides and drivers are extremely conscientious and work to provide our travelers with excellent service; making their experience in China one that they will always remember fondly. Please remember to show your appreciation for their dedication. We do offer a recommended guideline for tipping, but if you feel that the service was not satisfactory, you are NOT obligated to tip. Also, please report any substandard behavior or actions to our office immediately at support@chinafocustravel.com.
We recommend $8/day per passenger, which covers the drivers, local guides, porters, maids, and national guide. We recommend $48 per passengers to cover the cruise staff (if your tour includes the Yangtze River cruise). Recommended Total = $240 Per Passenger. Tipping would be paid in China.
