In reply to Ste. You can tip at restaurants in Norway. If you would like. Why you would tip taxi drivers, there is no reason. They would be surprised. (Coming from a Norwegian national).

Hello,

Very interesting topic,
i would like to make a small remark though.

Being a tour guide in Norway myself, i can tell you a secret.
Part of our income IS supposed to come from tips, therefor our wages are quite low (compared to other professions in Norway).
For example a bus driver would earn an average of 50 % more than we do.
There are no collective agreements on minimum wages for guides in Norway.

So if your guide is doing a good job, he or she will appreciate very much to receive a little extra.

Thanks, this is helpful info as we have been told conflicting stories about tipping in Norway.

In reply to Gail Mangset. Japan! I’ve had restaurant staff run after me and return the tip to me.
