She helped us come up with a really nice itinerary to see as much of the culture and wildlife of Sydney, Outer brisbane and GBR. We loved sydney as a city...beautiful. We stayed out in the glass house mountains while in Brisbane region and loved our accommodations at the Crocodile Hunter lodge and all of the wildlife experiences if offered. Our time in Port Douglas was also lovely, with a few days out on the barrier reef. We combined stays at both hotels and Airbnb's. The only place we did not care for was our one night hotel in Brisbane...under construction and not clean. Aside from that, all were great, and we appreciated the help booking tours and adventures.

enjoyed the farm visit as this is where we spotted our first koalas and kangaroos. Learned a bit about the state/national rehab and breeding program of the koalas. The mountains are beautiful. This trip was primarily a drive and see with little opportunity to get out and explore. We would have loved an hour or so to do a hike. lunch was delicious.

We traveled to Sydney, Uluru, and Palm Cove, before heading back to Sydney. Our favorite days were exploring the Blue Mountains with Ben, staying at Longitude 131 with McKayla as our guide, and snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef. We finished our vacation touring Sydney, again with Ben as our guide!
Thanks again for helping us plan our luxury vacation Vicky! It was exactly what we dreamed of!

We enjoyed every aspect, including the Blue Mountains, Opera House, Great Ocean Road and wildlife park visits. While we had reasonably good insights into what Sydney might offer from my earlier visit some years ago, our tour guide Judy in Melbourne truly familiarized that wonderful city to us in a way that we would have missed had we just wandered about on our own.

Well worth the time and money. The Great Ocean Road is awesome and our guide Bluey was very personable and entertaining! A few points for improvement for a kimkim customer: 1. Our pickup at the Great Southern Hotel was one of the very last meaning we had no choice but to be at the very back of the bus. We were concerned that the winding roads might be uncomfortable from there but that aspect turned out okay. 2. The meal stops were too rushed.
