Tipping · 🇬🇹

Tipping in Guatemala

Customary: 10%. 10% is normal and sometimes already on the bill.

At restaurants

What is customary: Service is usually already on the bill

Worked example

On a GTQ500.00 bill, 10% is GTQ50.00, so you would hand over GTQ550.00.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about GTQ50.00 per person.

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

Expected. Volcano and Tikal guides are tipped at the end, in quetzales.
