Tipping · 🇮🇱

Tipping in Israel

Customary: 10%–15%. 10–15%, often in cash even when the meal itself is paid by card.

At restaurants

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

Worked example

On a ₪200.00 bill, 10% is ₪20.00, so you would hand over ₪220.00.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about ₪50.00 per person.

On a paid tour, 10%–15% of the price on top.

Expected, and guiding is a licensed profession here — day tours are tipped near the top of that range.
