I have worked as a tour guide for 12 years, and I rarely get tipped. I do an excellent job, and often get very nice compliments, but rarely do I (or any other guides) get monetary tips. Most people who work as tour guides get paid less because their management expects them to get tips. It's not like tips are necessary--tipping should never be required unless the service is excellent. But I get paid less because my manager expects me to receive tips on a regular basis, which I don't. Neither do any of the other guides where I work. I guess this isn't a question, really--it's just a statement that many people don't realize that it is proper etiquette to tip your tour guide if you think that he or she has done a good job!
