After all...wouldn't that be biting off the hand that feeds him?

That's why I feel like open communication is the key. If the client asks for that and the guide isn't willing, then the client can look elsewhere. I would think a charter guide would want to know what the clients expectations are so that he can do his level best to meet them.
