OUR GUEST BOOK

Because we arrived in Sydney at 8:00am and weren’t to board our ship until 12:00pm, Laurel arranged a private city tour for us. Our fabulous Aussie tour guide, Dave picked us up at Sydney airport, took us on a 4 hour tour of the city. Having been born and raised in the Sydney area, he gave us lots of their history as he drove us through this very large city and its suburbs and along its crowded beaches for top notch people watching.. we stopped for coffee and meat pies at a neighborhood spot as well as other stops for great photo opportunities. He even tried to explain the rules of cricket to us. It was what we looking for to kill the time but turned into a wonderful way to connect and better understand and enjoy the Australian people.

It was for my brother who is limited in English. But because of the explanation in the itinery he got along well and enjoy it. Thank you. Heinz

We enjoyed all our tours. Our favorite was the walking food tour in Melbourne. Our guide, Chev, was very informative and interesting. We loved seeing the alleyways and exploring the various cafes and seeing the art.
Laurel was great. She was very prompt in responding to our requests and questions. The tours she planned for us gave us a good overview of Melbourne and Victoria, the history and culture of the area.

Gold Premium Suite was excellent. The double bed was more than big enough for us both. It was worth paying the extra cost. The linen was of excellent standard. The crew came in after we had gone to breakfast and made the bed. In the evening they provided us with a toddy to enjoy before bed time. What a trip, still thinking about it. It more than exceeded our expectations. You were made to feel special as Suzy welcomed us into the dining car. We were sat with other couples who were strangers. After introducing ourselves you realised the couple you shared your table with were travellers the same as you. You had lots in common, experiences of like countries. We sat with other couples as we had three meals a day, all of a sudden these strangers greeted us as others did, it was such a relaxed atmosphere. The off board trips Marla, Alice Springs and Katherine thoroughly enjoyable. The information and knowledge of the places we went to was worth knowing. The staff and crew of the Ghan was excellent, even flawless. My husband and I think it was one of the memorable trips we have done and we would do another in a heartbeat.

Our first day of touring to Phillip Island was the highlight. The penguin parade was an amazing experience.
Sophie was great, would have liked to have met Isabella who helped us set up the whole itinerary.

Bruny Island for its beauty. Also enjoyed the day trip up the Tasman Peninsula and Pt. Arthur…fascinating history.
Thanks for your help organizing everything. The Vibe Hotel was a great choice and a great location for us. It was a really great holiday!

Hard to pick one favourite. Loved Bruny Island cruise and Cradle Mountain tour especially. Coles Bay was an absolute gem as was Edge of the Bay resort.
We absolutely loved every moment of our holiday. Thanks to Meg for her constant care and support and planning. And by the way the rental car was fabulous.

Snow at Cradle mountain Gordon River Dinner Cruise was splendid ..."Ship That Never Was" highly recommend
Other than those, the rest of the trip was well organized and we had a great experience thanks to Izabella and Georgia for organizing the car, accom, sleeping arrangements, breakfasts, cruises and dinners. Well Done girls

The train itself was marvelous and the scenery from the train. The staff and activities were wonderful but the staff on the train and the breakfast at Marla did it for us!
Sophie is outstanding in her attention to the smallest detail and equally the train staff. So pleased we decided to go to Perth this long way!!

A much more qualified person than me was driving…especially up an down those curvy mountain roads!
Every single person (13 in our group) was delightful and fun to be with. Accommodations were surprisingly generous and ALWAYS super clean.

The sail to Michaelmas Cay and snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef. Paid extra for a member of staff to give me a snorkling lesson and they accompanied me out to the Reef. I'm not a good swimmer so this gave me the opportunity to experience everything. Would definitely recommend this for anyone doing the day trip who may be a bit aprehensive about snorkling on their own. Now ticked off my Bucket List!

Everything was interesting for us. The sceneries were what we expected but good to see. The dinner in Rawlinna would be nicer if there were more varieties to the meat served which was lamb (not my favorite).

The team leader Suzi and her team made this trip special. They were warm, caring friendly and tried to anticipate our every need.

The week in Sydney and surrounding region was very enjoyable but we particularly enjoyed the trip to the Blue Mountains and the time we spent at Taronga Zoo and Wild Retreat
We booked this trip and all its detail about four months prior to travelling from Ireland and were delighted with how the whole schedule, right down to the precise time the our drivers arrived, worked like clockwork. Very impressive

Strahan river cruise. The itinerary that went along with the boat trip was informative. Cable Mt certainly had the best beds. It's a credit to the management of the hotel. The whole atmosphere is perfect.
Thank you for the wine and chocolate.

I can’t not really identify one area! The he harbor dinner cruise was exceptional! Hotel met expectations. The wine and blue mountain tours were very well organized and fun.
Manon was very attentive to our requests and truly did a wonderful job!

We enjoyed it all! Loved Darwin and all the helpful suggestions from Geogia. She is a gem!
10/10 for Geogia. She goes out of her way to be helpful and not pushy at all. She put a great itinerary together for us and as a result we had a great time in Darwin. The walk-about art and gourmet dinner tour in the city was a real highlight. Thanks Georgia! We had a great 60th wedding anniversary as a result of all your hard work. Great.

Reef View Hotel in Hamilton Island has large beds and room .
The taxi transfers from n to airports, hotels are first class rating! The communications with staff using in app messaging are quickly responded and much appreciated! Thank you overall for your staff in arranging our itinerary and the details of every trip in different cities! Jobs well done 👍👍😍

The part of your trip we enjoyed the most was Uluru. Experiencing the sunset and sunrise. The tour was well planned.
