Sydney and NSW Beach Trips

The four cities were great. was a wonderful leader. She explained the logistics well and made sure everyone was taken care of. The dual flight from Ayer's Rock to Cairns was a hassle but explained why we could not fly direct. The hotels all had some small issues but were good. All had a nice breakfast. I enjoyed all the sites. Some bus rides were longer than expected so it would be nice to know ending times for excursions. Also, the optional excursions were a little high priced. Some people commented they would have liked a list of everyone's names in the group. I appreciated having as much time as we did in Sydney.

I truly enjoyed this trip - well organized, we saw all the important places, and our tour director was absolutely terrific. The hotels were wonderful and the activities were well planned out.

Our tour guide, Tony, was terrific - enthusiastic, helpful and meticulous. The hotels and planned meals were wonderful - good food and great locations. We enjoyed the attractions and sights. Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef was a highlight - but next time I’ll take Dramamine. Our fellow travelers were fun to be with. When we toured the Sydney Opera House, we were excited to get tickets to see Rent that night. We paid for one add-on tour, which included a trip to the Sydney Zoo. The early morning visit provided a great opportunity to interact with the wildlife with a zoo guide.

I got to see a lot and learn a lot of the 3 cities Melbourne, Cairns, and Sydney. I would have liked to been able to be free from the group like an hour or 2 and done our own exploring in each city while we were in the main parts of the city. Then meet up with the group and continue with our tour. Overall it was a great experience. I would highly recommend this trip to friends and family.

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. was a spectacular guide. Very entertaining while keeping everyone on schedule.

Excellent balance of included experiences and time on our own to plan activities. Tour director was very knowledgeable and went out of her way to insure everyone had a great experience!
