Ultimate Travel knows how to do it right and I can't recommend them enough! They have made my transition to Oz so easy and made me feel welcome from the get go. I have made so many new friends through this program and have already made so many great memories. If you are planning to come to Sydney, don't hesitate to book with them. It was worth every penny.
