oldcatcher Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Santa Claus brought me a day charter in the lower niagara next week with one of the top guides on the US side. It will be my first charter, I'm guessing some sort of tip is usually offered if you are pleased with the trip. How much is the norm? Flat amount or percentage of cost? -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
