Also, if the traveller opts not to join this activity, what alternative would they have for that day? Should the tour guide and driver be tipped separately? For the optional walking tour with a local guide on Day 7, would they need to tip this guide separately? What time is breakfast? Will they be having breakfast with the group or separately?
