We are taking an all day private tour along the Côte d’Azur this week. The tour guide runs her own company and sets the rate. Is it protocol to tip the owner/guide and if so how much?

Here's what Rick says:
"For a few hours with a personable guide who knows their stuff, a tip of €10–20 is fine. European guides know to expect a tip from most American visitors, but their rates aren't dependent on substantial tips. But do pay a bit more if the guide makes any arrangements for later in your stay, or otherwise goes above and beyond to help you out."
