We have the below tours that meet the requirements: The East Coast Islands and Rainforests. The Tastes of Southern Australia.

what address does the bus pick up and drop off & what time

We are unable to pick you up from the Darling Harbour Hotel. This is a 3-day trip with departure on the 18 of September on request basis only. Trip starts at 7.30am in Sydney at the Rydges Sydney Central.

This was my first trip on a guided tour. Was feeling nervous - but it ended up being a great experience. Everything went smoothly. The communication from Tour Radar was good.They responded promptly to my queries. It was well organized. The itinerary gave an opportunity to see and have a range of experiences, The tour guide Joe from Down Under Tours (AAT) was fantastic. He really enjoyed his job and was passionate about sharing the places we visited. He was very knowledgeable too. Joe was very friendly and respectful to all of us on the tour.Show more
