How much to tip a Sedona jeep guide

15% of the tour price is the standard gratuity, and it is not included in the online price. For a $112 tour, that is roughly $17. For a $130 tour, roughly $20. For the $247 private UFO Night tour, roughly $37. Tip in cash when you return to the meeting point, or ask if the tour operator accepts card tips.

Insider tip

Tips go directly to your guide. They fund guiding as much as salary does. A generous tip (18–20%) is normal if the guide was knowledgeable and fun.

The standard in Sedona is 15%. If your guide was exceptional — funny, knowledgeable, stopped at perfect photo spots — 18–20% is generous and common. If the experience was poor (rushed, guide was rude), 10% is acceptable. Cash is preferred because the guide gets it immediately; card tips sometimes take time.
