Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

My husband & I had a wonderful month-long trip to Australia!! Our agent at this Australia travel company did an excellent job of selecting great hotels & superb tours. Our favorite spot was Tasmania ... Hobart is a very quaint little harbor town full of very polite people ... like the US was a generation ago. Driving on the left was a serious challenge for my husband, so we parked rental cars in the cities we visited & used very efficient public transportation. We needed to use GPS devices & my only complaint is that GPS was not included with our rental cars in Darwin & Cairns and for the amount of money we paid for our trip, we feel that those $55. fees should have been paid or we should have known in advance so we could make other arrangements. Overall, I would give a 4.75 star rating.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Featherdale Animal Park in the Sydney area was an amazing opportunity to pat wallabies, wombats, etc. .... just being able to hang out with these animals for an hour or so at the conclusion of our day-long Blue Mountain tour was awesome. We certainly thank our agent for including this tour with our itinerary. The day we spent at Kangaroo Island was also unforgettable .. thank you for selecting Kangaroo Island Odysseys. We enjoyed all locations we visited (including Perth & Darwin), but the 3 days we spent in Hobart, Tasmania, is our favorite memory. We would like to return to Tasmania someday & see other parts of the island via public transportation (we made some wonderful friends there!). We would absolutely use this travel company for our return trip to Tasmania ... also to visit New Zealand.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

If we could take our trip again, we would not include rental cars in our itinerary, but use public transportation & possibly trains and rent cars on an as-needed basis. Also, we would visit more farms and remote locations and stay away from major cities. But we certainly enjoyed our journey Down Under and our agent and this company for their hard work on our behalf.
