    Great locations and variety of visits, but too many minor issues for a tour company this size. No local tour manager, which detracted from the enrichment on the tour.

    The tour manager is horrible (he is not very customer-focused, rather he had been very condescending towards tourists, he is not very knowledgeable about the places where we traveled to. Hotels and flights are very bad.

    The drivers were wonderful! They were on time, friendly, shared information with us abt where and what we were driving by, answered questions and were just plain friendly. Of course everything we saw and experienced was wonderful, beautiful, and thought-provoking!

    We visited many wonderful, interesting and memorable locations. There were a few problems encountered along the way, the biggest of which was cancellation of the entire group’s flight out of Uluru! The tour manager was a poor communicator, absolutely rude at times, gave the impression he didn’t want to be bothered and completely ignored the majority of our group while concentrating his efforts to a select few. He accepted our tip on the final evening and did not even express gratitude, shake our hands or acknowledge us at all. However our coach drivers were knowledgeable and friendly, especially Tui, our driver in New Zealand.

    All of the locations we visited were excellent. The tour manager was not very good. He acted like he only wanted to be there for some select people in the group and basically ignored the rest. He was rude and made you feel like you should not bother him. Anytime we were not n the bus he would disappear (including not making sure everyone got thru airport check in and security). I asked him a question a couple times during the tour and he would either give a clipped answer or walk away. There were a couple of stops were we did not have any time to explore (for example in Christchurch- we arrived at approximately 8 pm and left by 9 am the next day). It would have been nice to have at least half a day to do some exploring. All of the drivers and guides we had were excellent - very knowledgeable about their subject.

    I rated 4 stars because we saw and experienced all the highlights of Australia and New Zealand.. They were absolutely wonderful! Enjoyed all the excursions and recommend them except for the Meori dinner.in New Zealand. It was.too crowded and the emcee was boring. We disliked all the air flights because of all the extra flights back to Melbourne before flying to another destination. We think that the flights should be more direct. We wasted days and hours going through security and in the air. Most of the hotels were ok, but one , the one in Sydney, had a leaking shower and flooded the bathroom floor. Very upsetting.

    Got to see Australia, New Zealand and Fiji; the trip of a life time. But connecting flights within Australia ate up much valuable time and resulted to two wasted and exhausting days of travel. Food was good but we felt we’d payed for a lot of alcohol that we don’t drink.
