Buenos Aires tipping question
 
The BA free walking tours have been recommended to us and we'll probably take two of them. I understand the free part but can anyone tell me what an appropriate tip would be for the guide? I'd be interested in knowing in pesos or US $. Do you think they'd appreciate US money more?

Thanks

One of my daughters used to lead the PM BA free tour.

You don't HAVE to tip the guide.

But I'd say between 10 and 20 bucks each would be an adequate minimum, or more, if you feel the tour was better than you expected. They will LOVE dollars, but, obviously, the equivalent pesos at the blue rate would be perfectly OK.

Have a great time in our town.

And those tours are great, GTG; you will benefit from them both and be pleased to tip at the end. Enjoy yourself.

Thanks, Marnie. I wish you and Scarlett were still in BA. Think of the lovely GTG we could have with avrooster!

Well, goddesstogo, it depends on what you mean by "lovely". LOL!

I'll explain when we meet.
