Australia
With Australia located in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are the reverse of those in the UK. While we’re wrapped up in winter, Australia is enjoying its sunny summer season. This seasonal switch can catch travellers by surprise, especially when packing for a long-haul adventure.

Fantastic tour from start to finish. Right amount of time spent in each city with some great tours included. Freedom days provided time to rest or there were additional trips to go on. We had a very experienced tour manager.... James.... you made us laugh and were brilliant.

Very Best of Australia
The holiday covered all the most important highlights. It was a once in a lifetime holiday so I wanted to make sure I saw everything.

Amazing adventure, well organised and expertly led. Maybe a tendency to try to pack too much in - there are some very long days (4am starts). It is hard work - and you need to be prepared for this.

Very Best of Australia
Epic well organised tour that was worth every penny. The accompanying guide in each country were both excellent, extremely well organised and did their best to see to everyone’s needs. They were always available if you needed them and had a wealth of knowledge with a desire to ensure we had all the information we needed to make for an enjoyable trip. It came through that they both obviously loved their countries and wanted us to love them too. It was very nice having the same guide to accompany us throughout our stay in each country which meant they got to know us and what we did and didn’t like and were always very accommodating. This was our very first group tour and the size of group which was 45 was larger than we had originally expected when we booked but the agenda allowed you to socialise as much or as little as you wanted with your fellow travellers and was rather nice seeing familiar faces around and about as you travelled and sharing some amusing banter as well. Saw so many places and really felt that we had a good taste of each country. The included day trips were excellent and the freedom day tours were also very good, well organised and also had great day guides. Would recommend this trip to anyone interested in seeing this part of the world.
