What is the average age at the tour? Are many about 19?

Our tours are for over 18's only. The majority of travellers that join us in Australia are aged 18 to mid 20s, but we regularly have people in their late 20s and 30s travel with us and have an incredible time too! As long as you have an appetite for adventure and are happy bonding with people of all backgrounds, you'll fit in perfectly!

Could we have 3 people stay in share room?

Our tour is based on multi-share accommodation throughout (mixed dorm rooms) so I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to accommodate you in triple share. Would you be happy sharing with others too?

I'm looking to join this trip mid November. Could you let me know the difference between the two trips that are £649 and £849 please?

There's no difference between the trips priced at £649 and £849; the itinerary is still exactly the same. Some upcoming dates are on sale right now which is why you'll see some dates heavily discounted - so if you are flexible with your travel dates you can bag a sale price which means more spending money for cocktails hehe!

I want to visit Australia at least once in my life

Australia is such an amazing place. Endless white sandy beaches, crazy wildlife, jaw dropping scenery and laid back culture are just some of the highlights, you're going to love it! Our Oz Intro 10 day tour is the best of Sydney to Brisbane and the perfect start to your Aussie adventure.

I notice this trip is capped at 35 but the tour operator goes to 55? I'm 40, (a very young 40) would this rule me out?

The majority of people on our Oz tours are in their 20s, but we regularly have people in their 30s and early 40's travel with us and have an incredible time! As long as you have an appetite for adventure and are happy bonding with people of all backgrounds, you'll fit in perfectly!

Could I ask what the weather may be like this time of year for packing purposes.

It's always a good time to go backpacking in Australia! It's generally quite hot in most parts of the country for the majority of the year except for the southern half of Australia during winter (June, July & August). But because Australia is such a big country when it's cold down south most people will head north and follow the sun! May is the end of autumn in Australia, and that means cooler temperatures in some places but still an excellent time to travel!

Interested in tour information

Our Oz Intro 10 day tour is the best of Sydney to Brisbane and the perfect start to your Aussie adventure. It's got loads of included experiences like the famous Sydney harbour and Bondi beach, learning to surf in Byron bay, spotting wildlife on a SUP tour of Surfers paradise and more. Plus you'll stay in some great accommodation with an instant group of friends and an awesome group leader to take care of everything.

I was wondering if, if I arrive a day before the tour starts, will there be any assistance with overnight accommodations?

Yes of course! If you arrive a day before your trip begins, we can help you get booked in for an extra night at the hostel in Sydney.

How strict is the age range? I'm 45 but this tour sounds perfect for my needs as a solo traveller.

Unfortunately the hostels we stay at in Australia do not accept anyone over the age of 39, so we wouldn't be able to book you onto a tour there.

How many people have already booked this tour?

We have 14 people in the group so far, so you'd be our lucky number 15!

I was really apprehensive about organised travel and group tours before joining this trip, but I had such a good time on this tour I would do it 10x over. We had so many amazing, once in a lifetime experiences! Keira really made the trip for us, she put me at ease from the very start and made sure we all had the best possible time right the way through offering all kinds of support whenever we needed it. I didn’t know what I wanted to do after the tour but she sat with me and helped me plan every step. I wouldn’t have wanted to experience the east coast any other way. Super grateful for this experience & would recommend it to anyone :)Show more

Heya Chloe, Thanks so much for sharing this! It’s completely normal to feel unsure before a group trip, so it’s great to hear how much you ended up enjoying it. Keira will be so happy to know she helped you feel at ease and supported you with your plans after the tour as well. We really appreciate the recommendation. Kind Regards, The INTRO Travel Team

Great Oz Tour I recently did the 10-day Oz Intro tour and had a great time. The itinerary was fun, with loads of places to see and plenty of group activities to get involved in. It was a really good mix of exploring and just enjoying the moment. Our tour guide Mia was awesome—super cheerful and always happy to help. She even organised a few extra optional activities outside the main plan, which made the whole trip feel even more flexible. Overall, a fun, easy-going tour with lots to do and a really good vibe. Would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about travelling Australia.Show more

- INTRO TravelOperator•Written October 2024
  It is completely up to you! You will be fine to travel with a suitcase or backpack. It is easier with a backpack/holdall style instead of a suitcase. But it's not necessary, we have people bring suitcases all the time. But we recommend packing light 20kgs of stuff should be plenty.
