We are going as a group of 23 people to Ireland and have
reserved a "tour guide/driver" for 8 days, 8 hrs per day. The
cost per person is $220.00. What would be a per person tip
for this service

I think Jim covered it at www.tipguide.org -

Check ahead. If the tip is not already included, give 10-15% of the tour price. No less than $1-2 for a half-day tour, $3-4 for a full-day tour, and $5-10 for a week-long tour. This is a per-person rate. Tip private tour guides more. If the bus driver is particularly helpful with bags, then tip $1-2 per bag.


That would mean that you tip $22-36 for the 8 days (per person) using the percentage.
