Nov 15 - Dec 3, 2025
Sydney Blue Mountain trip was exciting with Guide Elliott who was very knowledgeable and polite.
Uluru the walk looking at the skies was good. Hotel stay was standard with lousy job by housekeeping.
In Cairns the Ocean Freedom trip was exciting well looked after by the amazing staff.
Daintree Wanderer tour was very interesting in the rain forest and teh guide was excellent.
Melbourne City tour was a waste of time except the MCG tour and the MCG guide was excellent.
The pick up to and from Melbourne Airport was very efficinet with the driver Pierre.
New-Zealand trip to Queenstown was interesting. The St. Moritz Hotel is good with the lake view unfortunately there were scaffoldings that blocked the view.
Milford sound Cruise was very scenic but the flight portion did not happen due to bad weather.
The TSS Earnslaw buffet lunch did not have good choice for vegetarian meals in spite of one requested beforehand.
In Auckland The Waiheke Island wine tour and lunch were excellent with a very knowledgeable guide from Ananda Tours.
The Rotorua tour could have been better with the inclusion of the Cultural presentation at Te Puija which was missed. The guide Harry was brilliant.
Special mention to be made of Raymond shuttle service to and from Auckland airport for their very timely and friendly service.
Thanks to Vicky of VIO travel Australia for arranging this trip at short notice and planned very well except for early morning pick ups as teh whole trip was fast paced.
