| Tipping: | Generally, tipping is not expected in Vietnam, but is very much appreciated and even a few USD goes a long way. On a private tour, we suggest you tip your tour guide around $3-5 USD per person per day, and $1-2 for your driver. In most restaurants, a 5-10% service charge is added to the bill. You could tip around 5-10% of the bill if the service charge is not added. |
