Can you not remove the existing tiles ? I have only done one job over tile, I tell customers that I prefer not to do it.
If you are to go over them it would be advisable to use an spf adhesive...Mark.

if you have to then cement based adhesive bucket takes about 14 days to dry before you can grout if deeper than 3mm even longer have to prime walls first PCI 303 primer is the best i have found make sure the old tiles can hold the extra weight

This may not be the best stuff but, Im sure my college supplied us with ,ULTRA GRIP, Nicobond' this was for us to train with so, may not be suitable for long term.
