Amazing! I had NO expectations for this trip and it exceeded everything! Marissa was awesome and there were zero glitches during the trip! I just wish I'd had more time!

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!

We were extremely satisfied with the personal planning that made our trip unique to our preferences and interests. The tours were great and lived up to our expectations including transportation, lodging and transfers. We would recommend About Australia to anyone.

The trip with the tours was above our expectations. The tour drivers and airport transfer drivers were timely and very friendly and helpful.

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!

Everything was seamless in our 4 week trip to Australia and New Zealand - transportation, accommodations, excursions. I highly recommend them for travel to these destinations, and especially enjoyed working with Koda.

Fantastic trip start to finish. Very well organized and easy to follow itinerary. Great job!! Thank you soooo much for everything!

Overall our trip was great. All of the flights, pick up and return to the airport shuttles, tour buses were on time with no problems recognizing and accepting our vouchers. The trip organization that About Australia did was flawless and we had a wonderful experience overall.
The one thing that we were somewhat dissatisfied with was our hotel In Melbourne. The City Tempo was not very traveler friendly. The check in desk was a full city block from the entrance to the hotel rooms and there was no assistance with luggage or anyone to actually show you where to go. The hotel is a combination of full time residents and some hotel rooms. The elevators were always very crowded with people going to work and school sometimes causing significant waits. The shuttles and tour buses would only pick us up in front of the hotel registration office which was a block away from where our lobby was. I think future travelers would be much better served if they were booked into a conventional hotel.

The planning and communication with About Australia was wonderful. The tours, transportation and hotels were perfect. My favorite was the Great Barrier Reef. As an introduction to Australia, this is definitely the way to go. The only reason that I didn't give 5 stars, is because one of our transports to the airport was at 3 am. That was brutal. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Overall my experience was really good. Everything was well organized and worry free except the experience in Cairns. It was disappointing because the other hotels were so nice and accommodating and the abbot was truly sub par. No hotel staff, the restroom flooded daily and they didn't even wsnt to give us towels to clean up the daily swimming pool thst appeared in our room. The worst part was we were stuck there for 4 days. This hotel was definitely NOT boutique. I was truly unhappy and disappointed.
