The trip was everything we hoped for. All booked tours , transfers and hotels were seamless. We were welcomed in both countries with a welcome package with all important information. When we needed to get in touch with agents both Paula and Sherri were helpful and timely with their responses.
We had friendly and Knowledgeable guides for each excursion. One who particularly stood out was our guide Dandy in Melbourne. He took us on the Great Ocean Road, entertained us and was attentive to the needs of everyone on the tour.
We could not be more thrilled with our experience.
Hotel Reviews
Beautifully located with Friendly and attentive taff. a mix of old and new.
In Port Douglas, the hotel was great! Our apartment was fantastic and the hotel offered free laundry services which was wonderful. The location was convenient and the breakfast, although not included, was amazing with people coming from outside just for it.
The Vibe Hotel in Melbourne was a pleasant stay with a modern look and a great location. Laundry services were available, which was really helpful.
The Hermitage Hotel at Mount Cook was extraordinary and the highlight of our accommodations. It was a splurge but worth every penny for the breathtaking location. Note that it's a cashless hotel, something to be aware of if staying there.
Sudima Lake Rotorua was disappointing due to the strong sulfur smell that woke us up at night. The hotel was under renovation, with construction noise all day. We received a complimentary drink, but it didn't quite compensate. The pool was closed, which was another letdown.
Activity Reviews
The Hobbiton tour was surprisingly enjoyable despite not being a huge fan of Lord of the Rings. We watched the movies before going and found the experience to be a lot of fun.
Couldn't do the Big Sky Stargazing Adventure due to clouds, but the company was prompt with a refund. Appreciated their efficiency, showing great customer service.
