I was just wondering... on a 15 day private tour, how much should we tip our driver and guide (egyptologist).
Thanks.

Regardless where I visit, I figure USD$10/day for a guide. If he/she has been outstanding, then I give more; if not so good or accommodating, then less. If traveling with a partner and budget might be tight, then you can do USD$15/day for the two of you. Drivers get USD$3-5/day. Inthe end, it's up to you.
