    Hi Kim, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so pleased to hear you found the tour well organised and that Simon was friendly and helpful throughout. It’s great that travelling in the off season made the border crossings smoother, and even better to hear the trip exceeded your expectations with such scenic routes and plenty of free time to enjoy each stop. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! All the best, Travel Talk Team

    Pat

    Asked on July 16th, 2026

    The cost of this tour is considerably cheaper if booked through the operator. I'd prefer to book though TourRadar if you can match their price (ie $A2052 vs $A2462). Is this possible?

    Price / Availability
    • Travel TalkOperator•Written July 2026

      We understand the price difference. However, as your booking is being made through TourRadar, we're unfortunately unable to match booking price.

      TourRadar is a booking platform that provides a range of additional services and benefits, including customer support throughout the booking process, optional travel insurance, eSIM purchase options, secure payment processing, and other traveller assistance. These services are reflected in the platform's pricing and commission structure.

    • Travel TalkOperator•Written April 2026

      This is a group tour, and transportation between cities is provided by coach, meaning you will be travelling together with the group throughout the itinerary.
