Customary: 10%. 10% is added to most Tbilisi bills. Nothing more is needed.

At restaurants

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

Worked example

On a GEL100.00 bill, 10% is GEL10.00, so you would hand over GEL110.00.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about GEL25.00 per person.

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

Free walking tours run on tips in Tbilisi. On a wine-region day trip the driver is tipped too.
