Australia Guided Tours

Our tour guides, Lia in New Zealand and Australia was awsome. Her knowledge of the land and people was remarkable. Lia has a personality that fits with any group that she tours with. Lia has personality plus! Our secondary guides, were also great, they fit our tour group perfectly. Tui, our guide in Figi was also magnificent.. Tui, made us all fell like we were part of his family and part of the Island. I love all the tours, but I must admit the snorkeling, bungi jumping, panning for gold and the Ramon Burr's Bertanical Garden were my favorites.

everything was great! loved Sydney opera house, the animal reserves, the bridge in Sydney is awesome. New Zealand was probably my favorite. rode the gondola up and over the rainforest, then when we got back to the top we paid to para-glide. It was totally awesome!!

Many! Sydney Bridge Climb was amazing. Visiting cities of Cairns, Melbourne - adventure of a lifetime. Going to the outback, so glad this was included. Sad to have to miss Alice Springs. Queenstown and Christchurch were destinations that I would go back to.

Wanting a unique travel experience far away from my daily life that would also be restorative, I chose this tour. It was the best decision I could’ve made. Traveling by coach, we were able to see the breadth of New Zealand’s landscape. This became very meditative and restorative. Our tour guide, and driver, provided historical, cultural and geographical facts about places we were traveling through and to. My favorite places: The Bay of Islands and Christchurch. The first for its breath-taking beauty and our first exposure to the crystalline waters of NZ. Christchurch as I loved the Canoe experience on the river, filled with play and song, and the thoughtful design of the city in rebuilding itself and street art everywhere! Manna.

We saw many cultural places and each city had many great places. We had a wonderful time in Rotorua and we were amazed by the Māoris villages. Clare Martin was a perfect guide. She was so informative about everything we saw! We enjoyed Christchurch, Queenstown and the Milford Sound! All of the hotels and restaurants were wonderful! We also had a visit to Arrowtown and enjoyed that town. We were so impressed by this tour!

Tour guide was top notch. Just can't sing her praises enough,. Thank you Clare.

Tour guide Clare was just top notch in every way.

I've already filled out Collette's survey. This trip would have been perfect if there was an option to tour Hobbiton.

Mt Cook hike, Milford Sound boat ride, Queenstown walking tour

Watching the sunset at Uluru (Ayers Rock) with a glass of champagne was magical! Hiking up the mountains from the beach in New Zealand and enjoying the view from the top was unforgettable. And our Tour Manager, Anna Bouzain was the best ever!

The tour was put together very well. From the scenery of New Zealand to the animals and Great Barrier Reef of Australia, it would be impossible to pinpoint one favorite memory.

The tour was all that I imagine. The most memorable was the camel ride at sunrise to Ayers Rock. The small tour group made it a better experience. Our tour director Gavin made the tour more personable and special. The native individuals we met were exceptional in explaining their culture. The parks we went to with live animals to experience and learn about their habitat. Seeing Mt. Cook in it is splendid glory was a highlight as well as snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef.

I’ve always dreamed about going to New Zealand, to see the lush green hills, oceans and sheep grazing in the pasture. This was so much more than that. Was it because of our tour leader and our coach driver? Yes they made the days so pleasant, lots of laughs and memorable sites. Of course, the history of the development of New Zealand and the cultures that lived there that founded the country were fascinating as well. Great food, yummy beers made there and the brightest of blue skies made the trip one that I’ll never forget. Dexter the tour operator and Fenton the coach driver are a great team together. Definitely would highly recommend this adventure! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

An excellent mix of historic and cultural experiences plus incredible natural beauty. The Bay of Islands is absolutely stunning.

Jet boat was fantastic Airplane ride from Milford sound to queens town was supposed to be narrated but was really just a flight to queenstown. It was a nice flight Did not like that porters gathered our luggage and put on bus Tour manager was ok but kept giving different instructions seemed to keep us in a constant state of change

We enjoyed our tour very much. Can’t think of anything that we were unhappy about. Our tour manager, Clare Martin, was exceptional! We would recommend this tour to anyone looking to go to Australia and New Zealand.

Our trip was fantastic along with our tour guide. He made the trip enjoyable. Sydney was awesome and the scenery in New Zealand was breath taking. We felt that we were able to see most of what we wanted to see through Collette.

Trip of a lifetime!

Absolutely totally enjoyed this trip. They say a trip of a life time. Australia, New Zealand and Fiji had it all; adventure, beauty, exploring, excitement, and fun. Highlights for me included hiking in several NZ parks, Queenstown, the Sydney Opera House, Best of Opera show, Ayer’s Rock, Milford Sound, Great Barrier Reef, watching a fellow pax bungy jump, and sending time with all pax who enjoyed the trip. Campbell (Cam) was the perfect tour manager for this group. He was laid-back, not pushy, very informative, full of knowledge, patient, and fun to be with. He got along very well with this group. He handled everyone’s’ issue, i.e. lost CPAP, wallet, phones, etc. Cam assisted a pax with her luggage since wheels kept falling off.

Hotels were excellent with great views and great breakfasts. I really enjoyed the camel ride and the Waka canoe ride. I was glad that we were in Christchurch the day of the 15th earthquake anniversary and went to the memorial service. I also loved the tour of the Sydney opera house and seeing "Gatsby " there that night. I always like to do as much as possible while on vacation, and Lia made that happen. Lia was very patient, organized and knowledgeable.
