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
