Asked on April 11th, 2023We are still looking for a trip. The accommodations for the Best of Australia and New Zealan tour did not seem to be on par with the hotels listed in the PDF for the Contrasts of Australia and New Zealand tour. Are the hotels for that tour listed in the PDF accurate, of have they changed?

Traveler•Written June 2023For the Best of Australia and New Zealand Tour I read that if there are not enough bookings it can be canceled. We are interested in Oct 3 2023. Are there any bookings currently? At what point would the trip be canceled if the minimum number of people is not met?
- Bucket List Group Travel LLCOperator•Written June 2023
We can run this tour as we need a minimum of 2 members, you guys are already 3 travelers so we are good with that. Note: hotel rooms are twin sharing so one of the traveler will have to book as single occupancy.

Traveler•Written June 2023When booking 3 people it looks like there is an option to choose three in the twin room. What are the bed configurations in the rooms, is it possible to have three people in a room? Or is that just under the assumption that the third person will room with another traveller in the group?
- Bucket List Group Travel LLCOperator•Written June 2023
Unfortunately we do not have a option of 3 person in one room. This willbe a private self guided tour as we do not have any booking as per your travel date. All the day activities willbe guided and shared transportation.

Asked on August 10th, 2022Would like to know if you require any Covid-19 vaccination, what proof would you require? If flight issues occurred the last minute of the trip, would there be a refund or alternatives? In case a new variant shut down the world again, and the tour had to be cancelled, would you refund? Regarding extras, can they pay online through the booking conversation page? Is this a guaranteed departure?
- Bucket List Group Travel LLCOperator•Written August 2022
No proof of vaccination or covid test is required for travel to Australia for the US citizen. You may arrive a day early in case of any flight delay as we do not offer any refund. If the tour gets canceled from our end then we offer a refund or a credit based on our local guides and vendors cancellation policy. For any extra you can pay directly with us, will share the payment link. We need a minimum number of 6 members for the tour, the trip is filling up, once we have the minimum number the trip will be confirmed, you can signup and if the trip gets canceled you will receive a full refund.
