A Big and Diverse Trip to Australia Made Easy
We usually do our own vacation planning. Grab a Lonely Planet guide book, hop on the internet and get started. I quickly realized that Australia may be different. First, its very large, 95%(...)
(...) of the size of continental USA. Second, there is so much to do and see. Third, an itinerary can get very complicated very quickly; multiple destinations, multiple flights, rental cars, and a myriad of excursions. Where to go. How long to stay. How best to get there. What best to do at each location. It took a while for Darin at About Australia to fully understand exactly how we wanted to travel and the type of experiences we were looking for. We were looking for a personalized, customized and relatively affordable Australian adventure geared to 60 year olds, and that is exactly what we received. After five weeks in Australia, I would rate our experience and the About Australia process nearly perfect. In our case, there were 11 different accommodations, 2 international flights, 8 domestic, flights, airport pick-ups, 2 separate car rentals, and nearly 20 excursions. Everything was clearly documented on our daily itinerary and backed up by 32 different vouchers. We did have a few issues along the way and they were quickly resolved. On the flip side, there were moments when we knew that it was only because of the knowledge and expertise of About Australia that we were where we were and having this specific experience. thanks to all at About Australia, Joe and Diane
