In Cuba, the custom of tipping is deeply rooted in its people, since everyone is at the expense of a tip after having performed a good service. Waiters, tour guides, street marching bands, or people at the entrance of the toilets, each and every one of them is waiting for a tip.
Street musicians or those who accompany you with their music while you are having dinner usually expect a tip, but you should only give them what you really think their music is worth.
The ladies who take care of the toilets usually expect a small tip, which is between 1 and 6 CUP. Car parkers also require a tip that is around 6 CUP, and for tour guides the appropriate tip will depend on the service performed and the duration of the service.
The tip for taxi drivers would be around 10% of the total amount of the trip.
The use of tips is a key factor in solving many problems that you may encounter during your stay in Cuba, for example, if you want to extend your check-out time at a hotel, you can solve it by providing a tip at the reception with which They will allow you to extend your stay without any inconvenience.
