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!

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.

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
