How much to tip?

Free tours are NOT free tours, but rather they work with tips. But how much to tip? This depends on you, it is usually around €10-€15 per person , depending on the guide, the economic level of the country and the number of people who are signed up. It is a totally personal decision and you should not feel obliged to give more than you think is deserved.
