Tipping or gratuities are not common practice in most sectors of Chinese life, although it has become the norm to tip the tour guide and driver, hotel bellboy in recognition of their good service. It is not customary to leave tips at local restaurants.

China Highlights does not include tips in our quoted the tour price. We suggest RMB 40 ($5) to RMB 100 ($10) per adult guest per day as a tip for tour guide and RMB 25 $3 to RMB 65 $8 to the driver and about RMB 10 $2 for hotel bellboys when traveling in a small party of 2 to 5 members.

For example a tour party of 2 staying in Beijing for 3 nights, could tip the guide RMB 120 (US$15) to RMB 240 (US$30) each per adult – RMB 240 (US$ 30) to RMB 480 (US$ 60) in total. We suggest tours that include biking, hiking, rafting and other active adventure tours should be double.

Please feel free to tip according to the performance of the guide and driver. We appreciate your feedback regarding their work as they are our front line.
