Tipping · 🇦🇷
Tipping in Argentina
Customary: 10%–15%. 10% is standard, and cash is strongly preferred even when the meal is on a card.
At restaurants
What is customary: A share of the bill, at any size
Worked example
On a AR$100,000.00 bill, 10% is AR$10,000.00, so you would hand over AR$110,000.00.
Tour guides
On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about AR$10,000.00 per person.
On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.
Free walking tours are a Buenos Aires fixture and run on tips. Cash, and small notes are hard to come by — bring them.
The money
Argentina uses the Argentine Peso (ARS). Today 1 GBP is 2,045.87 ARS.
