We very much enjoyed our vacation in Australia and particularly appreciated all the effort and knowledge offered by Tony, our guide. We were thankful for his help when Dianne had a minor injury as he got us help and still kept the other travelers on course. Enjoyed it all and maybe most of all, the Great Barrier Reef experience.

The booking porocess was easy, and customer service was responsive. I contacted 4 companies about the tour I was interested in. Two of the companies I contacted didn't answer me at all. One of them was basically a chatbot that said "do it yourself." Only bookmundi had human agents to help.
