Yes — tipping is customary. A common amount is 15–20% of the tour price if you were pleased with the experience. Many cruise passengers budget this into their shore excursions.

Dylan changed the way tourists see San Francisco by weaving them through the sites and culture through the lens of a local. Dylan continues to train every local guide with his passionate, knowledgeable and gracious touch. We promise you will leave San Francisco with many stories, laughs and legendary photos to share with your friends.
