A high quality locally hosted comprehensive tour of Australia
We are pleased to offer this comprehensive locally-hosted tour of the very best of Australia for an exceptional price. Many tours to the land down under may on the surface appear excellent value, but often they only include the basics and nearly everything from meals to domestic flights are extra. Our arrangement, however, does include quality international flights, three domestic flights, all taxes, all transfers and luxury coach transportation, expert local guides, all accommodation, 11 breakfasts, 4 other meals and the essential excursions. In addition, unlike many tours, our programme includes a visit to the Red Centre to admire the awe-inspiring Ayers Rock.
