Tipping is not customary or expected in New Zealand however if the service or experience you encountered was exceptional and you wish to reward someone for a job well done a small gratuity would be welcomed.There are no set amounts or percentages, its usually a case of 'have a couple of beers on us' calculation. Many bars, cafes and restaurants have a tip jar at the counter and it is common to put any loose change from your transaction in here when you order at a counter. Any kind of recognition is very much appreciated.

We have already recommended Fine Tours New Zealand, and specifically Chelsea, to our family
and friends. Given the high likelihood that we will return to this wonderful country someday,
Chelsea and Fine Tours New Zealand will be our first call.
We are so grateful to have you as our travel agent. From our first conversation last August, your
knowledge and enthusiasm helped guide us to select the perfect first journey to New Zealand. It
included all the natural wonders and outdoor activities we liked and allowed enough time in most
places to relax and enjoy our surroundings.
