What people love about Australia Tours for Seniors
This was my first ever tour and from start to Finish was fantasy ,made lots of new friends and saw a fantasy country well worth doing . AAJ Kings tour guide and driver made this happen .
Tastes of Southern Australia
Truly excellent! This has been by far the best tour I have had in my 'touring' life. The entire tour covered the highlights in spite of bush fires. I love nature and it has incredibly awed me to experience the wonders of Tasmania. Justin was also awesome in every way, he embodied the true meaning of a guide, taking care of all of us in all 5 days from giving suggestions to enumerating options, giving pros and cons of these options, telling interesting stories, providing tons of information about this and that, and to sharing jokes among others. It was a delightfully amazing trip! Thank you so much Under Down Under tours! I would definitely recommend you to my friends! ☺ My least favorite though would be the accommodation during our last night. It was really crowded and no space to move around. Other than that, everything was really great.
