Short Answer

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory. Guidelines: restaurants 5-10% (if service charge not included), cafes round up to nearest TND, hotel porters 2-3 TND, housekeeping 2-5 TND/day, taxi drivers round up, tour guides 10-20 TND/day, hammam attendant 3-5 TND. In tourist areas, tipping expectations are higher. In local eateries, rounding up the bill is sufficient. Tip in cash (TND), not cards. Note: some upscale restaurants include 'service compris' — check the bill.
