Everyone has their own views but mine are as follows: When I come to agreement directly with the person giving the service (taxi, guide etc) I don't tip.

If the person giving the service is assigned by a superior (in which case they are contracted and getting only a portion of the payment) then I consider tipping as an option.

A tip might still be expected by the guide. In this case I don't think it's warranted though.
