I am a tour guide for California State Parks. We are not allowed to
accept tips. I find that they understand if you let that patron know
that you cannot accept a tip. If you are in a position where you are
alloed to accept tips, I would say it is OK to take it. Private tour
companies' guides EXPECT tips often! So the practice is not unknown.
You are being thanked for your work and expertise.
