My trip of the Highlights of Australia/New Zealand. It was a great trip with great sights and great Trafalgar and AAT Kings representatives who were great help. They helped when issues arose for the trip and the travelers. They all were very friendly and kind.

I think, no need for 2 days in Uralla, you could see the rocks in one day./night. Also in Sydney, 3 days are enough. This will reduce the total cost of the trip
Hillary L. | Traveled in December
This itinerary was busy but completely worth it - it truly hit all the highlights in Australia and New Zealand. I enjoyed every planned activity and we took advantage of many of the optional tours. Some of my favorites were snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, tour and later dinner at the Sydney Opera House, Sydney harbor cruise, Hobbiton, visiting the Kiwi hatchery, and the Be Our Guest experience on the sheep farm. Don’t miss these! The hotels at each location were fantastic - very comfortable and more importantly, well placed for easily walking to sites of interest. Both our guides were fantastic. in Australia was energetic and always entertaining. While more subdued was just as fun and knowledgeable and I appreciated his insights as a Māori. Australia and New Zealand had long been on my bucket list and this tour with Trafalgar exceeded my expectations!

The itinerary covers the many interesting parts of Australia and internal flights are included in the price. We stayed at very good hotels, breakfast included and in great locations, withing walking distance to major attractions. Our tour director was exceptional, one of the best we ever had in a tour, very professional and knowledgeable and the coach drivers were very guides too when we took extra trips. The final 4 days are in Sydney and the location of the Intercontinental Hotel could not be better, plus the hotel is excellent. All the little details, dinners included in great restaurants, sunset watching in Uluru with drinks and snacks in the middle of the dessert. It was an amazing trip.
Michael S. | Traveled in December
Everything was perfect but what made it the best trip ever was the best tour guide Anna and the equally good coach driver Terry. Once when I had technically left the tour in Melbourne Terry went looking for me to make sure I was alright. Unbelievably kind and caring.
