Anonymous | Traveled in October
There was not much to see or do in Melbourne. Cairns was amazing, I would have liked another day there, it has so much to see and do. Queenstown was fantastic as well as Rotorua!
Jennifer T. | Traveled in October
I thought this was a great itinerary with lots of options. I appreciated that our time is not wasted and our tour director always had everything ready for us. Tony was a spectacular guide. Very entertaining while keeping everyone on schedule.
Karen | Traveled in October
It was a well planned trip. I enjoyed the small group size and was very impressed with the CEO's passion about the culture and indigenous people really added to my enjoyment of the trip. We were given useful information about free time, and how to proceed through various airport check ins. The handouts were an excellent supplement to the information, providing valuable information about indigenous cultures, local restaurants, and other suggestions.
Anonymous | Traveled in October
Uluru felt very basic in comparison to the other hotels. It was on the tired side. The food there was good. All the experience offered were amazing. The only improvement would have been knowing that we were eating outside the Sydney Opera house.
