Tipping · 🇵🇪

Tipping in Peru

Customary: 10%. At restaurants. Round up for taxis.

At restaurants

What is customary: Service is usually already on the bill

Worked example

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

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about S/40.00 per person.

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

Expected. On the Inca Trail, porters and cooks are tipped separately from the guide and it is pooled at the end.
