Tipping in Colombia

Customary: 10%. 10%, and you will be asked whether to include it.

At restaurants

What is customary: A share of the bill, at any size

Worked example

On a CO$200,000 bill, 10% is CO$20,000, so you would hand over CO$220,000.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about CO$40,000 per person.

On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.

Free walking tours run on tips. Guides in Medellín and Bogotá rely on them.
