- Sarah· December 4th, 2024I have just finished my 5 week east cost tour and it was just like a movie. I was able to see so many beautiful places and got to know so many lovely people who I already miss. First and foremost Jenn. She was not only a wonderful tour guide but has also become a really good friend. Thanks for everything Jenn you were amazing!!Show moreTrip date: November 2024
- DVDirk· December 3rd, 2024I’ve just completed a five-week journey from Sydney to Cairns, and I can confidently say it was the best five weeks of my life. This trip would never have been the same without our incredible tour guide, Zoe. Zoe went above and beyond in every possible way. She wasn’t just organized, she was always a step ahead, ensuring everything ran smoothly while also creating a vibrant and fun atmosphere. Her attention to detail was unmatched. I truly don’t believe I would have experienced half as much or created such amazing memories without booking this ultimate tour. If you’re lucky enough to have Zoe as your guide, know that you’re in for something special. Thank you, Zoe, for making this the trip of a lifetime!Show moreTrip date: November 2024
- SBSarah· December 3rd, 2024I‘ve just finished the 5 weeks East Coast Tour and it’s been an absolute movie. My favorite part was K‘gari. I already miss the people I met and above all my group leader Jenn. She was not only our group leader but also has become a really good friend and has always been there for us. Thanks for everything Jenn you made this experience incredible.Show moreTrip date: November 2024

- Matthew· November 28th, 2024Could not recommend this trip enough, had the best 5 weeks travelling the east coast meeting some amazing people, our guide Zoe definitely made sure we got the most out of our trip, giving us detailed guides for each location and even helped me plan the rest of my time in Australia after the tour ended, absolute legend!!Show moreTrip date: October 2024
- DDervilia· November 27th, 2024I done the 5 week East coast tour with Ultimate. I really enjoyed getting to know my fellow travelers and tour guide Zoe. Having a tour guide who knows the East coast inside out made the journey so much easier. I would highly recommend Ultimate as a travel company. Shout out to Zoe for being an amazing guide and looking out for us all on the trip ❤️Show moreTrip date: November 2024
- AAnonymous· September 17th, 2024I came to Australia to meet new people, have indescribable experiences, enjoy an unbelievably great time and what can I say... Ultimate made it all possible! These 6 weeks that I spent with my wonderful travel group and not to forget with the best tour guide Orla were some of the best things I have ever experienced. Thank you sooo much! I can only recommend this tour up the east coast, with all the beautiful places that I was able to see!???Show moreTrip date: August 2024
- Lisa· August 27th, 2024I have just completed the 5 week east coast tour and would reccomed ultimate travel and the tour to every person I meet. Not only did I have a fantastic time I made friends and had the trip of a lifetime. Everything was so easy travelling from place to place and getting to tick off every item on my Australia bucket list ( Fraser Island, Great Barrier Reef, Whitsundays etc). The person who made this trip what it was was our amazing tour guide Zoe. She enabled me to have the most stress free experience ( especially on the transfer days) , she not only catered to the needs of every person on the trip she went above and beyond to make appropriate suggestions to each person and enabled us to have the best experience possible.Over the past five weeks I’ve made friends I’ll keep for a lifetime and I attribute that to the “family” culture created by our guide. Thanks for a brilliant time Zoe 💜Show moreTrip date: August 2024
- RWRachel· August 27th, 2024I’ve just finished the 5 week east coast tour and had the time of my life! I’ve made the most amazing memories and made friends for life. Some of my highlights were Frazer island, sailing around the Whitsundays, skydiving and snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef. I’ve dreamt of coming to Australia for years and this trip did not disappoint. Our tour guide Zoe was the best! Definitely the best tour guide around! She got us from place to place with no hassle and had great suggestions for each place we visited. Nothing was ever too much bother and she went above and beyond for every person on the tour. She made the tour 100 times better! Thank you for everything Zoe I’ve had the best 5 weeks!!Show moreTrip date: July 2024
- EEmily· August 26th, 2024Tour of a lifetime! I’ve just finished the 5 week tour and had the best time, Zoe our tour guide was just perfect. She was able to help with every question and negotiating dietary requirements at catered accommodation, going above and beyond for every person on tour. I cannot recommend her enough! The highlights of the trip were definitly K’gari, Australia Zoo, skydiving and being out on the Great Barrier Reef. There were enough down days to relax by the pool without being too many that you were looking for things to do and with suggested activities sent through every morning it made it easy to find things to do in every location. The tour is a great way to navigate the east coast made so much easier by Zoe getting us on and off of greyhounds and ferries so a stress free experience for all travellers. Fantastic tour I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to travel Australia and see the highlights!Show moreTrip date: August 2024
