The driver forcing a tip is a very disgraceful act Tipping is not part of Australian culture Other travel agencies like Go West do not require tipping. The driver is Chinese The tourists are all Chinese or Taiwanese I feel like I'm bullying my own people You can’t eat in the car, there’s no wifi Go west has it (it’s a tour of the Great Ocean Road) It is highly recommended to book a one-day tour from other agencies
