Oct 5 - Oct 19, 2024
My husband and I traveled to Australia for the first time. We had 15 days and we wanted to make the most of them but we didn’t know where to start as Australia is too big.
We read some reviews from other travelers for Kim Kim and we decided to leave the planning of the trip to experienced and local professionals. We were so right about this decision: Vicky was the agent assigned to us and she made this trip an amazing experience, stress and hassle free.
First of all she chose 4 destinations based on the questions we answered and what we wanted to do ( Sydney, Port Douglas, Uluru and Melbourne) that gave us a great flavor of what is Australia and its beauties and landscapes.
Every single activity has been thoroughly planned by Vicky and all her choices of the local companies and agents were spot on ! From the transfer from and to the airport to all activities, the Sydney opera tickets purchased, recommendations for restaurants etc. Vicky was so responsive and helpful during the planning but also during our trip. When we needed her to clarify couple of things, she immediately handled all the matters within minutes. She is just fantastic ! We didn’t have to think or stress about anything as Vicky took care of all the matters.
While all activities were very good, I would like to highlight few of them and some of our tour guides who were exceptional :
A) Sydney opera performance, just a “must”
B) Walking tour with Dave from Dave’s travel group. Dave was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic person and we learned a lot about Sydney’s history
C) Blue mountains, a beautiful landscape
D) Daintree waterfall hike tour with Allister from the Daintree experience. Allister was an amazing guide and the highlight of the day was the swimming in to the rock pool next to the waterfall
E) ABC snorkel charters: Marine biologists were snorkeling with us at the Great Barrier Reef explaining everything about the corals and the life underwater we were watching. We were a very small group of 8 people and we had 2 marine biologists with us ( Sam and Paula who were just awesome who tirelessly took care of us ).
F) Uluru as a destination offered a completely different experience where we understood a little better the incredible history of the place and the Aboriginal people.
G) Foodie Discover walking tour: Our tour guide was wonderful Rita (by Walk Melbourne tours), a passionate Melbourne lady who shared so many excellent stories about the city and places with amazing food, sweets and drinks.
Overall an amazing country and an amazing trip. Thank you again Vicky 😊🤩

Thank you so much for your wonderful review Maria :-)
It was a pleasure to help make your first trip to Australia both seamless and memorable. I’m thrilled that each destination and experience resonated with you, from the Sydney Opera House performance to snorkeling with marine biologists on the Great Barrier Reef and learning about Uluru’s cultural depth. I’ll be sure to share your kind words with the guides who made each stop special. Australia truly is a remarkable place, and I’m so glad you felt its magic.
Thanks again and All the Best,
