    Crocodiles in Kakadu, Champagne at Uluru at Sunset, Sleeping under the stars, staying in resorts, swimming at Florence Falls, learning about the history & culture, and making fiends for life. These are some of the things from this Contiki Tour. Go and do it!

    Trys was an amazing tour guide to say the very least. His wonderful personality made everyone feel right at at home. He was always available for help or advice. My trip would not have been as great as it was without Trys leading our group.

    Trys and Ben made that trip for us. I'm an Aussie and I learnt more on that Contiki about Australia, then I did at school. We had long drives every day but I never felt stuck on the bus cause of the games and activities Trys got us all to play/ take part in. Saw the best the outback has to offer thanks to Contiki. I even accidentally broke a window on the tour bus, but Trys and Benny had it all sorted and fixed by the next morning in Alice. Great trip. Amazing tour manager and bus driver. Rate them highly as tour company representatives and good blokes in general. Thanks again Trys and Ben.

    I had an amazing time on this trip mainly because of the knowledge, support and kindness of the tour guide, Trys, who really made a beautiful part of Australia even better with his want to please all the tourists. Obviously the incredible views and all the incredible trips helped a lot as well.

    Trys Eddy made my whole travelling experience a wonderful adventure! He was upbeat, hilarious, thoughtful and very knowledgeable throughout the tour. Ive done alot of travelling and participated in a few tours over the last 5 years. I look back very fondly over my last tour with Trys as our crazy bare-footed guide! Hes a lovely guy and the very best adventure tour guide there is!

    The experience was fantastic, everything was super well organised and never seemed to catch a hitch. We went to amazing stops and each one of them I would go back to! I was guided by Try Eddie who was full of knowledge every stop and along the way. He was always someone who would listen to you and was very genuine.

    I have been on two contiki tours and the experience I had on this tour with my tour guide and bus driver was exceptional - stress free and fun. The trip was an experience I will never forget. I was a bit worried before I left because I had no idea who would be on the tour and what it would be like travelling in this part of the world - much different to the European one I did. However, the unique experiences that only the Australian outback can provide are unlike any other. I would HIGHLY recommend travelling through the Northern Territory with Contiki.
