Tour guide web site recommends tip

[Afloat]

I have read all the threads concerning tipping not being offered in Europe. We have arranged for several private tours for our upcoming Med cruise. The voucher for one of our tours recommends a 10% tip (or more) if we are very pleased with the service. Is this just a scam aimed at American tourists?

 

In several cases our tour is with a guide who owns the business. Am I correct in assuming that we would not offer a tip even after spending the whole day with them?

 

Thank you for your input.
