Best experience of my entire life I wish I could restart the trip over and over again to experience it again. I met so many lovely people along the way and friends that I could have never imagined and none of that wouldve been possible without Lauren SPECIFICALLY as the CEO!!

The tour was amazing, met some stand out people and saw so much in such a short space of time! It gave a really good overview of the east coast whilst doing fun activities and educating us about the native people of the lands along the way! Loved every minute and will be doing another one for sure! Hope my next tour guide fills Lozza C’s boots!

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.

My Outback Adventure was awesome. My trip manager, the drivers we had in both sections and my fellow travellers were so nice and easy to get along with. The trip lets you learn more about Australian history, takes you to places you may not go normally and it was loads of fun! It was great that as an Australian I could still do a contiki trip!

Our itinerary was one that fluctuated due to changing venues and plan of schedules. did a good job trying to get us the best experiences though. I only had one concern that put a small damper on my trip. Trafalgar won’t let you gain access to excursions until we are in the country. This time several of the items were full and I was unable to go. It just seems to me if you publish an excursion as an option then it should be available. kept saying, •its Easter break”. Well the holiday didn’t change so if Trafalgar and its travel guides anticipate a problem on holiday weekend then don’t use that time line to plan a trip of a lifetime. This is also the first time the travel director didn’t attend all excursions. She stayed back at the hotel a few times and left us with the driver. Overall, I had a great time and met some wonderful people. I have used Trafalgar three times and will continue to do so.
