Tip for your tour guide. We recommend you allow USD$4-7 per day, per traveller. Tipping your guide is an entirely personal gesture

Tipping is not a natural part of many Western cultures and many of us feel uncomfortable, or unsure, about when, or how much, to tip. However, in the places you will visit, tipping makes up a significant part of many people's wages so it's important that we get it right. For this reason we've developed a very simple system to take all the hassle out of tipping. With our 'tipping made easy' policy, a nominal pre-determined amount is collected from all group tour participants to cover tips en route. This then saves you the hassle of when and how much to tip bellhops, luggage handlers, local guides and other support staff through the tour. Our 'tipping made easy' doesn't include a tip to your group tour leader. Naturally, though, the amount is up to you as tipping is an entirely personal gesture.

Tour Reviews

Brilliant trip. I can’t fault either the itinerary or the organisation and Karun our guide was excellent. When I got sick he quickly organised a doctor visit. He Was kind and caring, very funny, and knowledgeable. Ranthambore was great we were lucky to see two tigers!

Out tour was very very professional took care us all best ever so far.

On my recent tour of India (Golden Triangle & Tigers), I found On the Go to be very professional, organised, approachable and most importantly safe to be with. Our guide, Yusuf, was excellent in every way. Calm, knowledgeable, organised, and I felt very safe at all times with him.

Yusuf was an excellent guide, friendly, a good communicator ,well organised and well informed. The itinerary was generic, misleading and overstated, in what we would be doing and the standard of hotels: Park Inn Delhi and Palace in Karauli were NOT 3/4*, eg cotton weaving house was a carpet shop

It was great tour.
