We just got back from our 19 day adventure in Australia! We went from Sydney, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, Ayers Rock and Port Douglas! Liz did an excellent job at planning everything for us! She planned all our hotels, flights and excursions! It was fantastic! We appreciate Liz and all her work towards our trip! We came out of the gate full speed ahead to see as much as we did so to end our trip in Port Douglas was awesome too as it was a beach town and more time to relax! Simply beautiful amazing trip! Thank you for all!

PARKROYAL Darling Harbour
Sydney

Parkroyal was a nice hotel. Good breakfast that was included and better than we expected. The hotel staff was extremely nice and offered help when needed. We felt very safe walking around here and getting to places, even in the evening with restaurants near by. We would recommend staying there again.

Hotel Grand Chancellor Adelaide
Adelaide

Hotel Grand in Adelaide was a nice hotel too. The bartender in the their bar was so friendly. We enjoyed a couple of drinks there with appetizers. Food was good. I have to say, the location across from the bar wasn’t the best. The bar across the street seems to go all hours until morning. Even at 630am bus pickup from our hotel for tour, the bus driver had issues with drunk folks trying to block the bus etc. I think I would pick a different hotel just due to the location. Otherwise, had really no issues with hotel itself.

We loved Kangaroo Island. The tour was a 2 day and very busy tour. We were on a couch bus and the driver/guide did a great job for the 2 days. We felt in some places we wished we had long time but understood that to see “everything” they had to keep us moving. Definitely have to see the beauty of this Island!!

Our tour guide was awesome. The Anangu host that rode along to “share” information was as informative that we all hoped for.

The Guide was fantastic, she loves her job. The Anangu host was fair. We hoped for more info from Tina to talk more than she did.
