Exactly. So a $900 trip means up to 20% ($180) is split among the staff according to the company's policies. For a 6 day trip, this is only $30/day. I haven't done a trip in a few years, so I'm using a trip cost from several years ago.
I think the type of trip makes a difference. Hotel-based tours where you are on your own in towns for sightseeing and certain meals can be less work for the guides. Guides who are toting groovers a quarter mile from camp every day earn every penny.
