  Had a great experience on tour with AJ on the Sydney week. Accommodation at the wakeup hostel was better than I expected as I was in a hostel for the first time. My flight was late and ultimate helped on the weekend change my shuttle time. I had a really great timeShow more

  It wasn't well organized. I booked the tour with Blue Mountains and Manley Beach but I didn't do any of it and I didn't get any information! What was also bad was that I was put in a different group because only 2 people had booked this tour and I only found out about it on the first day of the tour! So a lot more information beforehand would have been nice.Show more

  Hey Samira. It is dissapointing to read your review. We are sorry to read that your week with us was impacted by an itinerary change and was impacted to our Port Stephens 3 Day visit. Our team do understand the frustration about the late communication and have reviewed this internally. We do hope that regardless of your low tour score, you did manage to enjoy your time in Sydney

  I decided to do the Ultimate week in Sydney because it was the first time I would be traveling by myself. This way, I thought I'd be able to make loads of friends and travel buddies and after the Ultimate week, we'd have an opportunity to go on our own adventure. I sent many emails back and forth before booking the week, asking which time would be best to come, where I'd be in a group with people my age and at the time, the lovely lady I was emailing seemed convincing. However, once I arrived in Sydney I quickly came to realize I was the only one doing the "Ultimate Sydney and Bondi" tour, everyone else I was paired with was doing the "Ultimate East Coast and Sydney" 6 week tour. This meant I spent an entire week getting to know people that I would inevitably part ways with after the first week, leaving me exploring on my own which initially wasn't the plan at all. I tried expressing my concerns to Ben, our tour guide, however, he did not seem to understand the issue at hand. I wanted to meet people I could travel with and I had even expressed this in the emails I was sending Abbie prior to my trip. It was a bit upsetting, considering it would have been a simple thing to mention before I had booked the tour. The website even states: "Our tour definitely includes social aspects and will introduce you to plenty of other travelers...". My tour guide even told me I was the first person he had taken on the tour that was only joining for the first week. I did, however, talk to people I met along the way during my trip and they recommend doing the "8 Day Gap Year Package" instead, as there were many more people that had just planned on traveling. Apart from this, the intro week was decent, the day on the catamaran was lovely and I really enjoyed the surf lesson. Another thing to note is that some of the free meals and activities were included in the hostel already, such as the bar crawl. I'm not sure I would do this tour again unless I was certain I was going to meet new travel buddies! Definitely a nice idea to book something like this (perhaps Intro Travel has better options?) when solo traveling for the first time.Show more

  Hey Faye, we're so glad you decided to join Ultimate on your travels in Australia and you enjoyed the harbour cruise and surf lesson in your first week! We have a few different packages available to suit the needs of every traveller and in their first week they cross over at times to ensure we are introducing you to plenty of other travellers. During your first week you spent time with the UltimateOz Gap Year group and the Ultimate East Coast 6 week group which ensured you had a great group size for you to get to know everyone and it was a shame you were unable to join them on the East Coast tour as you had wanted to. However, I hope you still had the most amazing time travelling on the East Coast with the tailor made itinerary our travel expert helped you organise and book. Australia is a beautiful country, and we're glad you chose Ultimate to help you experience it. Many Thanks, The Ultimate Crew.
