Sharon | Traveled in May
This would be one of my top 3 trips in all my years of travelling. Our driver/tour guide was top notch. His wit, easy going nature, vast knowledge of the areas we travelled and his expert driving made for a very relaxing, yet educational experience. The scenery and locations we visited were breath taking, our accomodation was comfortable, spacious and very well maintained and the pace of the trip was a perfect balance of exertion and relaxation. Can recommend this to anyone interested in seeing the outback of Australia but has limited time.
Brandon Q. | Traveled in May
Best tour of Australia, New Zealand and Fiji ever! Best Guide award goes to Clare Martin who made this trip fun, enjoyable, interesting, and a true adventure. Thanks Collette, great value for the money.
William | Traveled in May
Absolute banger of a time! I've always wanted to go to Australia for many years now and going with Contiki, especially with on the North Queensland to Uluru, was totally worth it! I couldn't speak for the sailing version of the trip, but the land stay in Airlie beach was really a nice bit. I would recommend going in the drier seasons because it rained and was quite windy during our stay in Queensland but nonetheless, a really exciting opportunity for everyone. If it's your first time going to Australia like it was for me, this is absolutely the trip to go, as you'll be seeing the natural highlights of the continent!
Victoria N | Traveled in May
My G Adventures South Australia, Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road trip was awesome! The itinerary was unique to start with by having more time in the Great Ocean Road plus the other stops we had for The Grampians National Park and Mornington Peninsula. Steve Kelsall as our CEO was awesome! He is very passionate and enthusiastic about his job by going above and beyond to keep us informed w/all the information we need by listing what we need to know even before we ask it and being available all the time to answer any questions and/or address any concerns we have. He was very instrumental in ensuring we all had a great holiday!
Brian R. | Traveled in May
AAT's Untamed Kimberley was just sensational. My wife and I had been meaning to do this trip for about 10 years and it certainly was worth it. Every aspect of the trip was superb - The guide/tour director, the Driver, the Coach ..... etc. etc. All perfect. Cheers. BR.
Tommy C. | Traveled in May
I really liked every aspect of my trip to New Zealand. The company organized great activities for each day but also made sure we had enough time to explore on our own. I enjoyed enjoying the nightlife of Queenstown in the first half of the tour, especially since our tour guide provided by CharlieTheTraveler recommended some great attractions! Although I loved the active tours, I really enjoyed touring the historical city of Christchurch. It was a window into the history and culture of New Zealand which made me appreciate all other aspects of the trip.
