There will be some dust and mess. Hammer, chisel, long handle ice scraper for the back.
Renovation is messy and dusty. Close off area and keep cleaning after yourself.
Hint--Have a helper hold the hose of your shop-vac close to where you are chipping off the tiles😊.
It's just a messy job. Close off the area with plastic sheeting. Fill garbage bags with tile as you go, but only fill them about 1/3 of the way or you won't be able to move them. For small jobs, you can get away with a hammer and chisel. For floors, you might want to rent something bigger.
