I've tiled on tiles once. It was around a bath and was tiled to the ceiling but the wall was dry-lined. If you've ever removed tiles from plasterboard it takes some of the board off as well so I gave it a go onto the existing tiles. It was a big success and all I did was cleaned the tiles first. There's no need to do anything else ,and the advantage was because the existing tiles don't suck the moisture from the adhesive you can be generous at spreading a big area.
