I'd tip the tour guide with one go around of polite insistence if they first reject it. My family used to take guided multi-day bus tours in Japan a few decades ago for Mandarin speaking foreigners and tipping was definitely expected for the whole tour and local guides (paid out by multilingual whole tour guide). Their company pay was set with tipping in mind.

I don't tip instructors at classes offered to locals and foreigners.
