Many Guatemalans live in poverty, and tips can be an important part of their income. For the price of a cup of coffee, you can help feed their family. Tipping a few quetzales should be sufficient. For more extensive services – such as for naturalist guides or shuttle drivers – you may want to tip more. Taxi drivers do not expect a tip.
Do note that upscale restaurants may automatically include a tip on the bill.
