Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We asked for high end accommodations and you did not disappoint. You gave us choices in the price range we had and the chosen ones were over the top! You also gave us a wide choice of experiences from hotels and bed and breakfasts. The tours you chose at each stop were informative and the guides were welcoming and amazing. In the time frame we gave you we saw Sydney and all the sights. The view from the iconic opera house from our hotel still sticks in our mind and doing the tour of it was more fun than we thought it would be. So many different facets to it that we would have never known! So fun to have access to behind the scenes. The bridge climb was also fun and thrilling. Our tour guide you chose showed us some great history around and even took us to a bank to exchange our $ using his private account so we didn’t pay fees! Talk about going above and beyond!
Melbourne tour guide was amazing he definitely had a love of the country and its history and it showed! He took us for coffee and a homemade croissant that people line up around the building for daily! The museum was stunning and full of great Melbourne history. He also took us to Victoria market when we asked about doing a little shopping which was full of food and culture!

What a fantastic tidbit of a breathtaking country! Our travel company procured everything we discussed before going to such great detail in choosing our itinerary that the entire trip went off without a hitch. It could not have been better. We described our wants and without saying it was more than we could have ever dreamed. The time and attention to what our budget was, and the days we would spend were given and our travel agency did the rest. From our flights, transfers, hotels, rental car and tours, they covered everything with the feeling like we were family.

Questions beforehand were always answered quickly and efficiently with great importance and consideration even with the time difference we experienced when communicating. It was first class service all the way.

We would not have changed a thing.

The places our travel team suggested for to us to visit were all amazing and so well thought out. Every tour we chose had the most amazing guides that were so friendly and knowledgeable that they truly left a lasting impression on us for our lifetime.

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

Our hotel view overlooking Sydney harbor with the opera house was nothing short of amazing, so surreal to wake every morning to such an iconic piece of Australia. The opera house tour with our back stage access opened our eyes to all its history, and what a treat to see an opera while we were there!

The Great Barrier Reef photos do not do it justice and the helicopter ride you suggested was indeed the most amazing views that we will forever remember, from the turquoise water to the white sand beaches.

The accommodations that were chosen on Hamilton island did not disappoint. The room was well appointed and the views were bar none. The staff were all amazing. The day we spent sailing was spectacular along with snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef and just spending time walking on the whitest softest sand we’ve ever seen! Wether we just wanted to lay by the pool or drive our golf buggy to town everything was at our fingertips.

Visiting Kangaroo Island gave us a hometown feel. The hosts of the bed and breakfast that we stayed at were generous and welcoming attending to our every needs with also giving us the space to relax privately. Our tour company showed us all the island has to offer. The ocean views, rolling green hills, light houses and not to mention the wild life from sea lions to kangaroo and koalas our camera rolls were bursting at the seams! The tour guide thought of everything!

The city feel we encountered in Melbourne had so much charm from its culture from the gold rush to its accessibility to walk and view it all was amazing. We experienced open markets and lots of shopping, great coffee shops and transportation was a breeze and free! Our tour guide even treated us to Melbourne’s BEST croissants and a fabulous cup of coffee while showing us the artistic alley ways that artists showcase their Talent. We enjoyed the architectural brilliance and history of all Melbourne has to offer.

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

If we could take this trip again the only thing we would do differently, although weather is not predictable, we would change our travel dates to later in the spring when the weather is warmer and less chance of rain. And absolutely stay for a longer period of time.
