What people love about Australia Tours for Seniors
This was my first ever tour and from start to Finish was fantasy ,made lots of new friends and saw a fantasy country well worth doing . AAJ Kings tour guide and driver made this happen .
Tastes of Southern Australia
Despite Tasmania being on fire, our trip was really affected. The only thing we could not do was the Montezuma Falls walk but we ended up at the Henty sand dunes instead (still a good activity and something to learn about). There's quite a bit of driving a few of the days so you get to see a lot of the countryside and small towns. I wish we had stopped or did some more walks at different mountains along the way - those activities really break up the driving. However, the ones we did do are absolutely beautiful. I'd highly recommend going to the play in Strahan (The Ship That Never Was) - hysterical and entertaining! We had a really great group of people which really added to the trip! Our evenings, meals, and our last night in Hobart were some really great times.

- 7 Day Perth to Exmouth Explorer & Ningaloo Reef Return - from Perth
This was the first time I had done a tour like this and it was an amazing experience. We packed a lot in, so it was both exhausting and inspiring! The tour guides were really professional and very capable. I appreciated their ability to adapt to changes and personal circumstances. Thank you!
