An incredible experience exploring Australia with the highlights being sunrise at Uluru and snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef! The CEOs were super informative and helpful, knowing everything about their countries history and going above and beyond. A trip I will never forget!

Our overall experience was very positive. We were able to see the things we wanted to see. Some of the travel was long but that is the size of the countries. Would recommend it to others.

Our trip to Australia with Luxury Gold was an excellent experience, it was a very busy itinerary, but it allowed us to see a lot of what Australia has to offer. The whole schedule was put together exceptionally well, and our Tour Manager was very attentive and looked after us throughout the trip. Our favourite hotel was The Reef Hotel, The Langham was also exceptional.
The only part we would change, would be the trip to the Yarra Valley in Melbourne, as the visit to the Chocolate experience was not for us. In hindsight we would rather have spent the day at leisure in Melbourne.
Every other aspect of the trip was spot on, we loved it.
