Beginning in Melbourne and culminating in Queenstown, this journey uncovers the diverse marvels of Australia and New Zealand over nearly a month of discovery.

Witness the world’s largest colony of Little Penguins on Phillip Island and spend three nights in Tasmania, where the Tasmanian Devil Conservation Center awaits. Toast the sunset at Uluru (Ayers Rock) with champagne, and glide above the rainforest canopy aboard the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. Dive into the arts with a tour of the Sydney Opera House, and soak in the geothermal wonders of Rotorua and the tranquil beauty of Christchurch.

Very comprehensive itinerary, all hotels are centrally located, specialty meals were very good to excellent. Animal encounters were great, including the penguins, koalas, Tasmanian devil and kangaroos. Landscape is breathtaking. Great Maori cultural encounter. New Zealand is pristine!

My husband and I had a fantastic time. Chris, our tour guide, was very knowledgable, informative and accessible for anything we needed on advice, suggestions, or just to chat. We had plenty of personal downtime to rest and recover. I loved that Chris stated “This is your vacation, do as you like.” So we felt more freedom to explore independently.

Pay Wayne more. The places we visited were great, but you are somewhat limited by conditions not under your control. The guide makes the trip. There are plenty of things to see, and all are good. It was interesting that the sound systems were never up to par. The bus companies probably control this. Since Wayne is the best guide I have been with, make sure we can hear him. Talk to Bose or other vendors. There has to be some way to improve the sound. Oh yeah, pay Wayne and the drivers more.

Snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef was “once in a lifetime experience.” Tour guide made it possible.

I wanted to share my positive experience with Bookmundi regarding my recent 18-day 'Zen and Scenic Japan' tour. The booking process was remarkably easy and hassle-free, which was a huge relief. The customer service team deserves special praise for their patience and polite responses to my many questions, making me feel fully supported. The tour was more affordably priced than similar ones from other companies, and the bonus program was an appreciated addition. Because of this excellent experience, Bookmundi has earned a permanent client. Thank you for such a great journey.
