Tips: Tips are an integral part of the country's culture. This gesture of thanks, which varies according to the itinerary and the duration, has become an almost obligatory tradition. Although we make sure that our guides are properly remunerated, this seasonal work remains very precarious, and the tip is an integral part of their income. We recommend a minimum of CAD 6 to 10 per participant, per day and per guide. An amount less than this amount will be interpreted by your guide as a sign of dissatisfaction with his work.
