    Asked on February 13th, 2023

    We are looking at a tour in Aug 2024 can you please advise dates and a rough price estimate. We are travelling from Perth Australia.

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Back-Roads TouringOperator•Written February 2023

      We should have our 2024 dates out around late May early June this year so not to much longer to wait.

    • Back-Roads TouringOperator•Written May 2023

      We are happy to say the 2024 dates are now available and are ready to book. Out of these departures both the 11th and 27th are guaranteed departures. Meaning they will run regardless of the number of travellers booked. For the price I would need to double check with Back Roads as the prices can fluctuate but it should be around AUD $ 5,050 per person. Please note this price does not include international flights.
