Savor Food Tours operates on a no-tipping model. Instead of optional gratuities, we include a 20% service charge that is retained by Savor Food Tours.

This allows us to compensate our guides with industry leading wages for their expertise and storytelling, provide ongoing training, and maintain high-quality experiences.

Because guide compensation is built into our model, no additional tip is expected or required.

“What I loved most was seeing the relationship the guides have with the vendors. You can tell they are respected locals. It made the whole experience feel genuine and not just a tourist trap.”
