The intinerary was thorough and well paced - leaving a wee bit of down time to rest and do some things on our own. Our Tour Director was friendly and knowledgeable - making the journey even more enjoyable. The accomodations were all excellent - especially the hotels in Melbourne and Sydney.

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!

The trip packed a great deal in and there were a lot of ins and outs of the coach and sometimes not quite enough time at some intetesting locations. Itinerary was varied and the Tour Director and local experts were knowledgable. Accommodation wss generally good to very good, with one exception. Meals included were generally good to lovely, with a few exceptions which were poor to average. Free time was enjoyed as it gave me time to do what particularly interested me.
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.

The trip was amazing. Saw so many places and met lots of lovely people.
The tour has long days as you have to cover great distances some days but it is worth it for the varied landscapes and experiences that are on offer.
Taking a camel ride along cable beach at sunset. Walking on shell beach, seeing dolphins, turtles, rays and incredible wildlife. Snorkelling, swimming in fern pool in Dale Gorge, walking among the pinnacles and finishing the tour with an entertaining talk by Derek an aboriginal.
Carolyn. Tour director had so much knowledge to impart and took us to some incredible places. Terry the driver was amazing and kept us on the road and topped up with water. Nothing was too much for them.
The accommodation varied, from luxury to a miner’s cabin but they were all clean and did the job. Remember we were at times in very remote areas and there is not a lot of choice. Embrace the experience.
Would recommend taking the tour if you want to experience Western Australia.
Fantastc driver/guides and tour director Nellie was brilliant. Amazing places covered on tour. 100% recommended. Only confusion was the luggage allowance, which was happily more than stated. 😀
