Hi there
When tipping the tour guides, is it done on a daily basis or at the end of the tour?

At the end of the tour. You will get tip envelopes and people normally give them to the guides at the farewell dinner.
Some do. My understanding is that your pretrip booklet will tell you if that is an option. We tipped in local currency so that we could get it from the atm towards the end of our trip.I would rather not carry that much cash with me. Do most of the guides take e-transfers now?
River cruises are unique in that all the tips are included in the price, including guide tips. You will have 6-8 guides and it's not practical to tip each one!So now I'm confused. We just received our package for our first ABD trip in August, and it says the following: "Adventures by Disney River Cruises include all gratuities for meals and activities, including tips for porters, housekeepers, drivers, activity providers, local experts, Adventure Guides, Cruise Manager, and crew." So it would seem to be that pretty much anyone I would tip is already covered, except perhaps things we do on our own (meals, taxis, etc.). Am I interpreting this incorrectly?
You are interpreting it correctly. But as @CrazyZeus1 says, that's for the river cruises only.So now I'm confused.

That has nothing to do with the question.As I have pointed out Many times Tipping is not a general practise in Europe ( Will be accepted if Given )
as employees are paid a decent wage as laid down by law .
All ABD guides should be tipped. The river cruise guides have tips already built into the trip price. All other guides are tipped by guests.As I have pointed out Many times Tipping is not a general practise in Europe ( Will be accepted if Given )
