Once you change your money use our tipping guide below to get the best value out of your travels and so you don’t over tip in Venezuela!
Taxis: Tipping a taxi driver isn’t expected but they normally wont turn them down. We use the round up model if the drive was pleasant.
Hotels: If the bell boy was to handle your baggage then you should give him the equivalent of $1 a bag.
Restaurants: Most places will included a 5-10% service charge on the bill. If this is not included you are expected to tip the same amount.
Bars: You might see a service charge on your bill depending on the bar. If not then a 5% tip is common practice.
Other: If you are doing a tour then the guide and driver will expect a tip. Normally the tour guides will mention this as well. We think a 5-10% tip of the total cost is a good amount.
