is there a tour that is inclusive(starting/ending) in Sydney, that is similar to this tour?

This tour begins in Sydney but ends in Cairns, so it isn't a round-trip itinerary that both starts and finishes in Sydney. Currently, Costsaver does not list a tour that is fully inclusive (starting and ending in Sydney) and directly mirrors the Bucket List Australia experience. The design of this itinerary is to showcase Sydney, Uluru, and the Great Barrier Reef in one journey, which naturally requires finishing in Cairns rather than looping back to Sydney. If your preference is for a Sydney-to-Sydney tour, you might consider adding a domestic flight back to Sydney at the end of the tour.

Is the additional upfront money per person?

The deposit of USD 350.00 is per person, so if you are paying upfront, the deposit amount you will be paying at the time of booking would be USD 700.00 in total.

does this quote include economy round trip air from LAX, and if not, what is the cost? Do you take care of the evisas?

The adventures we offer will not include international airfare, as travellers can join the trip from many different countries. You will be responsible for booking your own flights to meet at the starting city of your adventure. We additionally recommend you do not book your airfare until your place is confirmed and guaranteed to depart. Regrettably, we don't handle eVisas directly. It's always your responsibility to check the visa requirements based on the passport you hold and the country you're traveling to. That includes securing and paying for any necessary visas, electronic travel authorizations (ETAs), vaccinations, or other entry documents. Some countries may also require proof of sufficient financial means to support yourself during your stay. We can guide you with information, but you'll need to apply for and manage the visa process yourself.

Do you do an Australian tour incorporating Sydney and Uluru?

This tour that you have selected - Bucket List Australia - includes both Sydney and Uluru.

Can I add a trip partner later ? I would like to sine up as a single traveler, but if things go well with my travel partner I would like them to come a long too. Please show price for single traveler and then price for 2 travelers.

Yes, you can absolutely add a travel partner to your booking later. However, please note that this trip is currently on request, meaning only a few spots remain and we don't have visibility into the exact number of travelers already booked. Availability may change quickly. Here's a sample price breakdown: Single room: US$4,415.00 Two room: US$3,195.00 per person. Please note, trip rate is subject to change anytime.

Can I book through you for Holiday Inn Sydney, Potts Point staying Nov. 16, one day before the tour starts? That way I can get the same room and not have to move.

Yes, you can book pre-accommodation through us, and it will typically be at the same hotel used during your trip. Please note, however, that accommodations are subject to change.

Have you sold enough bookings on this tour that we are certain you will go ahead with the tour?

The departure scheduled for 17-Nov-2025 is already at definite status. It has reached a minimum number of guests booked and this particular departure will definitely run barring any extraordinary circumstances.

It was just ok, I’m comparing your trip to the other tours that I’ve been on through out Europe though. So maybe that’s not a fair comparison. Rick Steves tours, is my gold standard . I would have liked more narration about all of Australia, from early times to what’s going on in to days world in Australia. From politics to industry, to wildlife, to conservation . I would have liked to of heard more about Aboriginal life and customs, back when the English and other settlers first came to now. Even if the truth is hard to hear about. It would have helped to get a better perspective on the country.Show more

  I already have booked the tour starting Nov. 17. My inquiry was about staying at the Potts Point Holiday Inn also from Nov. 16-17.

  Upon checking your confirmed booking, it appears that the initial hotel has not yet been validated. As a result, the pre-tour hotel isn't currently available for booking. Feel free to reach out again around next month for an update on the pre-accommodation options.
