    Cool group, great guide, some long drives. Would need a driver and a guide A flight from Byron Bay to avoid 2 long drives on the bus

    It’s a good relaxing program that covers all the major tourist attractions within the time frame. Our guide Sam was awesome. The hotels provided were quite good and in some cases the upgrades were a welcome addition.
