    Nellie was an amazing tour guide and I had the best time ever! Great trip! The only thing I would Recommend is booking restaurants with more of a vegetarian variety but everything was great! My favourite part was swimming the Great Barrier Reef I was nervous but Nellie took me out and showed me and stayed with me until I was comfortable! Thank you for such a great experience!

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • What should I do if I have booked a tour that is not a definite departure?

      Please avoid booking international flights until your tour status changes to a definite departure to avoid potential cancellation or change penalties.

    • Is a visa required for U.S. passport holders traveling to Australia?

      Yes, U.S. passport holders need an ETA or Electronic Travel Authorization for Australia.

    • Do I need to make a payment for the internal flights on arrival?

      No, the cost for intra-flights is included with your trip cost. Complimentary transfers from airport to hotel and opera on the first day of the tour or in alignment with pre-booked accommodation through the travel agency.
