You blended the travel agented part with the self-guided part fine, unlike the trip I took to Sweden a few years ago

Indeed 2020 was an unusual year to travel. Between natural and health disasters, planning, canceling, replanning seemed to be an almost daily task. After finalizing the trip of a lifetime, we watched it continue to be restructured, and altered to meet the needs our groups fears and health issues. And then finally after last minute fixes, and final tweaking we were inundated by countries limiting travel, requiring self-isolation, and closing their borders. While only being able to complete about one half of our itinerary and forced to return to the USA., we were able to enjoy our time without any problems. Unfortunately the conditions changed very quickly and we were able to return home before any additional complications arose. As disappointing it was, it was comforting to know we had people who were on top of the game and provided us with service beyond the call of duty. The coronavirus outbreak certainly was a test on all off us. Both my wife and I are very lucky to have had the assistance of a professional travel team to guide us and help maintain health and well being.

Ana was a HUGE help when I was frantic to get out of Australia last week before the borders closed due to the Corona virus! She was efficient and prompt with her responses and managed to change flights last minute when no one else could. I don't know how I would have managed without her professional expertise that was such a tremendous relief during a very stressful time.

I will not hesitate to contact About Australia again for future trips and highly recommend them to everyone!

Everything went smooth and the guides were excellent. PNG is really a country one has to come back to several times to explore it and to learn.

About Australia made what I thought was an impossible vacation a reality. Koda was amazing and any questions or concerns were answered promptly. We had a budget, a time frame, and a lot of bucket list goals that About Australia made work. I really couldn't be happier and have already recommended to other friends, family, and even strangers.
I wish I could have them plan all of my vacations!

I worked with Katie when planning this trip and have probably never worked with a better tour representative! I still can hardly believe we saw so much in such a relatively short period of time!

This was a great experience! Everything About Australia provided was so easy to navigate from the flights, shuttles, hotels, and experiences. Holding a koala and snorkeling the outer great barrier reef were definitely highlights of our trip.

We also enjoyed having open time to explore what interested us. If you get to Surfers Paradise I recommend the Glow Worm Tour at the research facility. It come with a night hike through the rain forest and we saw so many animals (frogs, bush wallabies, possums, giant snails, and more!). In Cairns we also took the train up to the Karunda Market and took the Sky Tram back down. We even stopped at the Tjapukai Cultural Park and got to make fire, throw spears and boomerangs on top of leaning more about the culture. The instruction was so good that I was hitting the targets almost every time.

There is also an aquarium in Cairns that was a great stop before our snorkeling trip. We got to learn more about the species we might see when we were snorkeling. It made our snorkeling trip that much better.

Last but definitely not least Sydney did not disappoint. We happened to be there for Marti Gras which was phenomenal! Of course there is souch else to see and our hotel was so centrally located that we were able to walk to everything.

About Australia planned the perfect trip for us and the price was unbelievable. I would say this was a once in a lifetime trip, but I'm already thinking of using them again so I can go back!!

Excellent and friendly, helpful service. Ana "held my hand" every step of the way and was extremely helpful and responsive to all my questions and needs. I only wish we'd had one more day in Sydney and 1 less day in Cairns. Otherwise, everything was PERFECT (well, except for the screaming 4 year old kicking the back of my seat on the way home

Booking our trip to Australia with About Australia was the easiest thing I ever did. Marissa our agent customized the trip to fit our family needs and they took care of everything. If I ever had a question she answered it right away. We just had to show up on time to meet our shuttles. The views and tours were amazing and spectacular.

Ana did a great job with booking all flights, hotels and vouchers. They put together a complicated trip and made it look easy. We had very few mishaps except for the private car pick up in Melbourne from LA, which we could not locate our ride and the transportation company put the blame on us. Besides that we had a great trip and experience. I highly recommend using "About Australia" for your next trip to Australia.

We had a wonderful time in Australia, and were very impressed with the quality of the hotels and excursions, especially considering the amazingly low price we paid for the trip. All of the buses showed up on time and everything went as planned. We have been recommending About Australia to all our friends. Thank you!
