    The tour leader was great and the itinerary was well thought out but sharing with the room mate from hell spoiled everything. He snored, he walked around naked, he had showers in the middle of the night, he went to bed everynight between 6 - 7pm so I couldn't use my own room, he was untidy and spread his toiletries all around the bathroom, he spread the contents of his case across the table and or settee or comfy chair so I couldn't use them.. He did get better towards the end of the trip but I had to constantly remind him. Other odd behaviour was he never joned us for a cafe or in the bar or for a meal uness it was included in the itinerary and had brought a fortnght's worth of toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for his lunches. Clearly not a normal person.

    Part 1 (Sydney - Brisbane) and 2 (Brisbane - Cairns) were amazing. Part 3 (Cairns - Port Douglas - Daintree Forest) was unfortunately not of this quality.
