Tips Whilst tipping isn’t embedded into Italian culture it is always appreciated as an acknowledgement of good service. Nowadays people generally round up a bill in a bar or cafe and leave 5-10% extra on a restaurant bill. Taxi bills are usually also rounded up.  On guided tours/excursions, it is customary to leave a token of appreciation for the driver and guide.  On small group escorted tours, it is customary to leave a token of appreciation for the driver and guide at the end of the tour.
