Tipping in Russia

Customary: 10%. 10% is normal. Leave it in cash rather than on the card.

At restaurants

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

Worked example

On a RUB2,000.00 bill, 10% is RUB200.00, so you would hand over RUB2,200.00.

Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about RUB1,000.00 per person.

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

Expected on guided tours. Foreign cards do not work, so bring cash.
