kolyan_cat, And why did Swiss chocolate hurt you so much, that you do not recommend bringing it? Oh, those food workers are salesmen... .. All they know and all them wrong. Yes, of course, it's nice, sitting at the foot of the Matterhorn, in a small chocolate bowl, to drink a cup of hot chocolate, with a delicious chocolate krausan! Try it! P.S. And do not think that somewhere at home, in a supermarket - it will be cheaper. And so: I will not buy it for anyone! Farther...
Tipping, I understand your business to give or not. But would it be good form in Egypt to pay, purely on the bill with the service tax? And what kind of tax is this, to whom does it go to the staff or the state? We were in a restaurant in Hurghada "Star fish" on the bill with tax came out 146.5 pounds. Left 150. And then the most interesting. The waiter had the audacity to tell me to wait and open the folder with the money in front of me. And then ask for a tip. this is unquestionably bad behavior. I did not expect from such a famous restaurant.

In this country, life is built on tips. And as you correctly noted, giving them is your business. The fact that they begin to beg is one thing. But if you liked the service, regardless of the service tax, why not reward the employee? Arriving at the hotel one day, the suitcases were left at the reception, the employee decided to show the numbers, and then stood with outstretched hand, he didn’t like a couple of pounds, he wanted to get $ 5. But he just didn’t get them. Farther...

Already checked repeatedly, because. in Egypt was 6 times, it is best to have a calm, even relationship with the maid, in the first place. Every day, leave $ 1 in the room (do not indulge,"appetite comes with eating") and you will have clean towels and a tidy room and they will not rummage through things, but if you took a laptop with you, it's better " put " more reliable. Porters also $ 1. "Do not shine" especially the euro, the Egyptians are impudent and 1 euro=$1. Farther...

When settling - no, not accepted. And the maids usually leave one or two euros for cleaning, which is quite enough. Sometimes they take it, sometimes they don't. Farther...

They always left 1 dollar for cleaning, and if they didn’t make figures, they stopped leaving them at all ... It was like they took money, but they didn’t notice the cleaning ... It all depends on the attitude and attention of the staff to you, like it - leave it, don’t like it - no .... In bars - depending on how you drink. To be remembered for the subsequent service "out of turn" and "with soul", a couple of times you can leave for a dollar. And in principle, you can not leave at all. Farther...

Hello! I would like to know about tips, as we are going to Turkey with my husband for the first time. Is it necessary to give money? - upon check-in, so that there is a normal room (in the reviews, many write that they did not give it and everything was OK); - for daily cleaning of the room (acquaintances left every day, but someone's hair and a cigarette butt near the bed lay until the end of the holiday); - bartenders, waiters, minibus drivers, etc. In general, to WHOM and HOW MUCH to tip, so as not to spoil your vacation? Thank you all in advance!

We were in Turkey last year. At first, they didn’t know what to give to whom. Now I can advise you: - upon check-in, it is desirable to give 10 c.u. - the number will be much better than the one that you will be offered initially. Still, don’t say anything, but it’s more pleasant to wake up in a room overlooking not a Turkish trash can, but a beach or a pool; -we did not leave for cleaning, although sometimes you can 1 c.u. leave, they will make you a flower or a swan out of towels; - bartend ...
