How much money does an average tour guide make per tour?

Answer 1

How much money a tour guide makes per hour depends on many factors, for example, what country they're working in, the company they work for and the type of tour. In many popular tourist cities, there are free walking tours offered where guides don't make an hourly wage, but instead are compensated in tips from people on the tour. You also have multi-day tours through companies like G Adventures and Intrepid where guides often make a higher lump sum, but are on the clock at all times. In general, the pay for being a tour guide is low, which is why it is important to tip for a job well done.
