Tipping - Australia

More Tour and Travel Advice for Australia
by – Tash, Tour Manager, Australia and Europe
Unlike North America and Europe, tipping is not super important in Australia. Tipping is something Australians give for good service. If you are satisfied with a meal and wait staff in a restaurant, a quick taxi ride back to the hotel or in the way your Tour Manager and driver have run the tour…..feel free to give them a tip to let them know how pleased you are with their service.

As an Australian I thought I would mention that tipping is not customary here. Many places also do not allow their staff to accept tips. Some places you may find a tip jar (coffee shops, small food shops) however it is not compulsory. :)

I typically tip 18-20% for good service here in the US, what is proper in Australia?

The absolute best hike in Zion is Angel's Landing, it ends on a table top overlook 2000 feet above the valley floor...
Christmas Markets in Vienna are great. Buy some mulled wine (Gluhwein in German)which is served hot and is quite spicy. The mug it comes in is yours to keep - a great souvenir -but if you don't want it return it and get your €2 deposit back (Pfand).
...I'd recommend taking a suitcase over a backpack...easy to wheel around, pack and unpack.
