Tipping · 🇺🇿

Tipping in Uzbekistan

Customary: 10%. Not expected. Round up, or leave 10% where service was table service.

At restaurants

What is customary: Not expected — welcome, but nobody is counting

Worked example

On a UZS500,000.00 bill, 10% is UZS50,000.00, so you would hand over UZS550,000.00.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about UZS50,000.00 per person.

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

Expected — guiding the Silk Road cities is a tipped job. Cash, in som or dollars.

The money

Uzbekistan uses the Uzbekistani Som (UZS). Today 1 GBP is 15,981.60 UZS.
