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.
The money
Guatemala uses the Guatemalan Quetzal (GTQ). Today 1 GBP is 10.3222 GTQ.
Tipping in other countries
Customs vary by region, by venue and over time. Use your judgement and your eyes.
