How much should we tip a driver on a private tour?

For a private tour in 2025, a tip of $5 per day for the tour guide and $2.50 for the driver is still considered appropriate. If you are satisfied with the services provided and enjoyed your trip, you may choose to tip a bit extra as a token of appreciation; they will likely welcome the gesture as they work hard to ensure you have a memorable experience.

Keep in mind that in Vietnam, 50,000 VND (approximately $2.10) and 100,000 VND (approximately $4.20) are still regarded as significant denominations!
