Review: Luxury Australia Vacation, Sydney, Tasmania, Kangaroo Island, Freycinet, Uluru, Great Barrier Reef, Opera House

In a word, both the trip and and our travel agent were superb.

When our original group trip planned with another travel company fell through early November 2015, we reached out to Zicasso who linked us to this agent and travel company to create a new trip for us to Australia.  Within four days from initial contact, our agent worked wonders by successfully developing a 31 day travel plan that encompassed all the key Australian sites and experiences we requested.  Our agent fully appreciated the urgency of coming up with a new trip plan and immediately reached out to us to really learn what we wanted and to better understand our interests.  She shared with us some wonderful ideas on how to best use our time in Australia to achieve all that we wanted.  As a result, our trip to Australia was one of the best we have ever taken in our 23+ years of international travel.  In fact, I think it was our best trip ever - all due to our agent's exceptional planning and her truly amazing lodge and tour selections.

For example, our agent convinced us that a stay at the lodge she arranged in Freycinet would be one of our best experiences and add immeasurably to our enjoyment of Freycinet.  Our agent was more than right – our stay at the lodge was truly memorable.  We are very grateful that our agent was so persuasive. 

Our agent built the trip with a great balance of scheduled touring with knowledgeable experts and just enough time to enjoy the fantastic locations and lodges on our own.  She was also able to accommodate all of our more challenging requests, even with venues that book months in advance like our hotel in Uluru.  The resulting trip encompassed most of the significant Australian locations in 31 days while still enabling us to relax and thoroughly enjoy each of sites we visited. The planning and execution was simply brilliant.  The personal attention and incredible responsiveness we received from our agent and her team made the experience extraordinary.

We can’t thank our agent and her team enough.  We had a marvelous time and came away with true appreciation of the wonders of Australia.  We highly recommend this agent and this travel company and would be happy to share our experiences with anyone who might be considering a trip to Australia.
