We have scheduled walking tours with the purchaser of Walks of Italy and tours by locals in Italy, Spain and Turkey. Is a tip expected by the guide and if so what is a reasonable tip? Thanks for your help in advance

I love doing walking tours and we usually tip around 5-10 euro pp, depending on how long the tour is. For the "free" Citywalk" ones, we tip the equivalent of $20 US dollars pp since there is no fee upfront.

Concur with mikliz97. If it's a free walk the guide's only compensation is a tip, so $20 per person. If we paid for the walk $10 if it's great, $5 if just average. We had a walking tour guide in London and he didn't seem like he wanted to be there at all, so nothing for him. I've found it pretty rare to have a crummy tour guide. Most are memorable in a good way.
