Probably whatever the hotel they've booked for you has on
offer - I don't think tour companies actually "provide" such
things, do they?

The tour company that booked two bus loads of eastern Europeans into a
hotel, that I was staying in near Turin, may not have intended to
provide breakfast for them, but it didn't stop them stripping the
hotel of everything edible and removable and leaving nothing for the
guests who had paid for breakfast.

No they don't - they make contracts with various hotels - but there
are different situations at different hotels.
When working as a tour-manager, I dread the words "Breakfast for your
group will be served in the Conference Room". This MIGHT mean that
there is limited space in the normal breakfast area - but all too
often it means a much more limited choice because the tour-operator
wants to *** costs. (Processed cheese spread, jam/jelly and horrible,
soggy sliced bread in a Holiday Inn, for example).
Conference Rooms for group breakfasts are often windowless hell-holes
in the basement, with all the delights associated with having
breakfast under flourescent light. Yukk!

I might sound snobbish here, but downmarket Brits are just as bad if
not worse.
On German Christmas Market tours a few years ago, the propietor of a
nice hotel in the Rhineland threatened to search people when they
exited the breakfast room, and said he would charge them for
everything they took away. Rather than spend the princely sum of
£1/DM3,- (as was) for a Bratwurst at the Christmas market, they were
making sandwiches with the breakfast stuff.
