Reviews of our Australia Tours for October
Feedback from guests who toured Australia during October.
Christopher K. | Traveled in October
Outstanding and very knowledgeable guide and driver. Very well planned itinerary with fascinating locations every day. Comfortable accommodations and good food. This was a comprehensive and very enjoyable introduction to one of Australia’s many jewels. Communication throughout was exemplary. I learned more than I expected and had a wonderful time. Can’t recommend this highly enough — it’s excellent.
Susan M. | Traveled in October
Our tour guide, Tony, was terrific - enthusiastic, helpful and meticulous. The hotels and planned meals were wonderful - good food and great locations. We enjoyed the attractions and sights. Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef was a highlight - but next time I’ll take Dramamine. Our fellow travelers were fun to be with. When we toured the Sydney Opera House, we were excited to get tickets to see Rent that night. We paid for one add-on tour, which included a trip to the Sydney Zoo. The early morning visit provided a great opportunity to interact with the wildlife with a zoo guide.
Anonymous | Traveled in October
Good balance of included and optional experiences, good variety and coverage of important sights, good balance of travel time - rest time - sight seeing time, great accommodations, smooth transfers, and awesome tour directors.
Anonymous | Traveled in October
I got to see a lot and learn a lot of the 3 cities Melbourne, Cairns, and Sydney. I would have liked to been able to be free from the group like an hour or 2 and done our own exploring in each city while we were in the main parts of the city. Then meet up with the group and continue with our tour. Overall it was a great experience. I would highly recommend this trip to friends and family.
Maureen C. | Traveled in October
The driver was knowledgeable, the accommodation was good and the experiences were all really good. The sunset bbq and star gazing was a really enjoyable with a very interesting talk given by the guide about the constellations which brought the group together. The sunrise Field of Lights was amazing and the information on Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon was very informative.
Anonymous | Traveled in October
The itinerary truly covered a wide range of sites and experiences. The guides were knowledgeable, interesting, friendly and caring. The hotels were all 4 and 5 star properties.
