    Awkward tipping situation on the last night - my boyfriend and I tipped over the recommended amount for the porters, co guides and the guides, however the main guide opened up his envelope from the group and said this was not enough. The member of our group who counted the tip said the group had tipped the Intrepid recommended amount. This lead to the whole group feeling very awkward and left the trip on a negative note. The reason for the 2 star meal review is because it was very obvious the guide was getting large kick backs at all bars and restaurants we went to, with one bar obviously handing a large amount of cash over to him as we left. I don't disagree with it as a practice, it just isn't nice to see it.
