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.
The money
Peru uses the Peruvian Sol (PEN). Today 1 GBP is 4.5492 PEN.
