At restaurants
What is customary: Not expected — welcome, but nobody is counting
Worked example
On a ৳5,000.00 bill, 10% is ৳500.00, so you would hand over ৳5,500.00.
Tour guides
On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about ৳500.00 per person.
On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.
Expected on guided tours. Cash, at the end.
