Free New Paris Tours - how much to tip?

New Paris Tours advertises a free 3-hr. Paris walk. The guides work for tips only. Has anyone taken this tour? How much did you tip? And was the tour good? Thanks.

I haven't heard of that, but if I did do it and it was good, I'd probably tip about the amount I'd pay for one of those cheaper walking tours where you don't reserve (Pariswalks, etc.), which I think is about 10-15 euro. When I take those kind of tours from registered French guides who are listed in the entertainment guides, the fees are only 10-15 euro for about a 3 hour tour, also. Those are listed under "Conferences" in Pariscope, etc.

I have done the tour and it was very good. Quite animated guide and most people tipped him around Euro10 - Euro15.

I'm glad to hear that the tour is a good one. The amount to tip was about what I had in mind and I'm glad to get confirmation. Thanks to each of you.
