This trip covered all the classic Australian spots we wanted to see! From the Sydney Opera House to snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef and the magnificent Great Ocean Road, the arrangements were seamless. The guide was professional and the Chinese commentary was detailed, making me feel very secure as a first-time visitor. I especially loved the koala-hugging experience on the Gold Coast!

A classic East Coast itinerary; we saw all the must-see sights. The Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains were breathtaking, and the view from the Q1 Tower was superb. My only minor suggestion is that the snorkeling time at Green Island, Cairns, could have been longer. Overall, it was great value for money and a highly recommended tour.
