Feedback from guests who toured Australia during January.
Katrina C | Traveled in January
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!! Thank you with my whole heart Lauren and G Adventures
Travis B | Traveled in January
I would recommend the trip to anyone who doesn't want to travel to another country alone. The group on tour was incredible and our guide made the trip that much more enjoyable with her knowledge and general attitude towards traveling. The main stops for the tour were all very fun to experience.
Conor O | Traveled in January
it was fun, Australian's greatest hits, i could have stayed longer. our guide (CEO) was excellent, the agenda was great, the transportation was spot on, the accommodations were very decent, i loved it, and with all G adventures, I loved every minute! another G success
Christopher T | Traveled in January
Overall my experience was great! Given so much of the time is spent near tbe Great Barrier Reef one of tbe optional Activities should be scuba diving given many travellers are certified divers. There are many companies that allow scuba and snorkeling on tbe same boat at the same time.
James C | Traveled in January
This trip had a great mix of beach time, water sports activities and plenty of opportunities to see wildlife! I also felt there was a good balance between optional activities and included activities. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking to escape the cold winter months, and/or is looking for alot of beach/pool time!
Cynthia M | Traveled in January
My trip to Australia was amazing! We definitely hit all my checklist wishes. Each city was different and interesting. I especially enjoyed our guides into the rainforest: both Trevion and Links were kind, knowledgeable and friendly. I had a blast.
