How much should you tip a tour guide in Spain?

Short answer

€5–10 per person

€5–10 per person for a good tour.

CommonCash preferred

Guides on Alhambra, Sagrada Família and Andalusian day tours are used to tips from international visitors. €5–10 per person for a half or full-day tour is standard. Spain has a very large free walking tour scene, where the guide earns nothing but tips, €5–10 per person is fair there.
