Hello Julia,
I am booked on the 11th March tour. I would like to know how much would it cost daily for food (vegetarian), drinks (non-alcoholic), tips etc. I cannot even guess the approx cost. I am assuming that you will have a realistic idea. I would appreciate it if could let me know so that I can sort my finance out before leaving.
Thanks.

Hi Dyuti,
The cost of meals will vary depending on where you are eating - for example, a sandwich at a café will obviously cost considerably less than a sit down lunch in a restaurant, but as a rough guide, in Australia you should expect to pay in the region of:
Lunch (out and about): $10-$20
Dinner (out and about): $20-$35 (for a main meal)
Drinks (soft): $4
Tips and gratuities are totally at your discretion. However, as a guideline a suggested amount would be $3 per person per day each for the driver and local guide.
Where meals are not included in your holiday price there may be an additional 10-15% service charge added to your final bill. If a service charge is not added to your bill then you may wish to leave a tip, again totally at your discretion.
Gratuities for your Tour Manager are not included in the price of your holiday, however, a suggested amount for this would be in the region of £2-£3 per person per day.
These are of course guideline amounts only.
Thanks,
Tim
