When I was there last several years ago

I tipped 10-15% of tour cost based on quality of service.

No tip for poor tour pretty much how I do it world wide.

Is this private guide for the entire trip, or simply full or half-day tours in different cities?

If the latter is full-day, I figure $10-15/person day, depending on quality of service, of course, which is often outstanding.

And, as above reply, I too use this guideline worldwide, but for those countries where tipping isn't a custom/expected... another subject altogether.

I'm planning to go to Israel in May.My travel agent tells me that they recommend $40-50 tip per day for a private guide. Any other thoughts on this?
