Tip for Ski Instructor?

We are in Boro next week and have an instructor for a family of 4 over the 6 days. Any ideas on what we should tip if we're pleased with the service?

re: Tip for Ski Instructor?

Tipping is a very personal think Alan and much depends on how pleased you were with the service given. We always used to club together and give 20 levs each. The only think I would add is don't give them gifts, that doesn't feed their families. They are on a pretty low income as instructors and they do rely on the tips to get them through.

Cool

Hi Alan,

Good to see you and the family are coming back to Boro. I agree with Pete that it's very personal. Some people don't give anything, some give 20lev and some people have given 100lev. It's really down to the service you get...

Got to agree with Pete and Kas.

If you get a good service, tip.

The instructors are on a low wage and the season is relatively short. They do depend on tips to make up their wages, but dont feel obliged if you weren't happy with the service

Thanks all. I think I may have asked this last year and forgot the guidance. Appreciate the responses!
