Australia Tour Review: Sydney, Blue Mountains Tour, Uluru, Cairns, Port Douglas, Great Barrier Reef Catamaran Cruise

The fact that each activity did not involve more than 12 in our tour group made the trip very personal. I believe the tour guides were the highlight. It is one thing to see something that is in the brochure but it is another to have someone local explain the history or the highlights of what you are visiting. The Blue Mountains tour with Ian, our tour guide, was outstanding. I learned more about Australia in one day than I have learned in my entire life. The tour of Uluru was outstanding, with the evening dinner in the desert and the morning sunrise. I think most impressive at Uluru was the knowledge of our tour guide Deni. She respected the sacredness of this often thought of place and explained in a story telling way the reason the aboriginal people respect this land. And last but not least the catamaran to the Great Barrier Reef. These gentlemen were very experienced and informative. This was awesome as well. What can I say, the whole trip was memorable, and all great!
