			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some tipping guidelines, these are just guidelines. You should tip for good service and if you feel like tipping more or less, it&#8217;s up to you.<br />
Tips can be in dollars or pesos, no U.S. coins, they are useless in Mexico.</p>
<p>Maid  tip her/him daily as you may not have the same maid every day..$2-$5 per day. Some people like to also leave small gifts, this is fine, but don&#8217;t leave only a gift, you should tip in cash also.</p>
<p>Baggage handlers  $1-$2 per bag</p>
<p>Taxi drivers- I don&#8217;t tip a taxi unless he does something special, ie, helps with bags, is friendly and offers suggestions, etc.</p>
<p>Waiters- I tip waiters for good service the same as I do at home, usually 20%. Pay attention to your bill, if a tip has already been added in, I normally won&#8217;t tip more than that.</p>
<p>Tour guide/boat capitan- 10-20% of the cost of the tour</p>
<p>Strolling Mariachis- normally tip $1-$2 per song.<br />
Recently I have heard of mariachis demnading a certain amont after a song, maybe a good idea to ask how much they charge per song if they no longer are performing tips.</p>
<p>Bartender- If you&#8217;re sitting at a bar all day, $5-$10 a day. Otherwise if you are tipping per drink, I tip $1.</p>
