💡 General Tipping Etiquette
The minimum wage is approximately $390 per month, so tipping in Ecuador is appreciated
🍽️ Restaurants
A 10% service charge is added, but is not necessarily going to the waiter. Add another 5-10% if the service was really good, otherwise 10 % is fine.
🚕 Taxis
Round up the fare if price is not fixed
🏨 Hotels
1 $ per transfer for bellhops, 1-2 $ per day for cleaning staff
👨🌾Tour guides
$2-3 per hour, depending on the length of the tour. For a whole day tour 10 % up to 10 $ should be fine.
