Traveler•Written August 2024I was on the booking page and it says there are 10+ spaces available for this trip. I am worried that the trip will be cancelled if not enough people buy into it. What is the policy?

Asked on August 8th, 2024I am a 42 yr old solo female traveller from Ireland. I want to check the age range of the people going on this trip? If it is my 30s-40s I am happy to book it, I would rather closer to my own age if possible. If it is older, then I am not interested. Could you let me know please?
- Via Travel AustraliaOperator•Written August 2024
Currently the age range on this trip is 30-55, however this can change as we don't have an age restriction. In general our trips tend to attract those from 35-75 years.

Asked on July 2nd, 2024Will it be possible to visit the Australia Zoo while in Brisbane?
- Via Travel AustraliaOperator•Written July 2024
Australia Zoo is just over an hours drive from Brisbane and we don't make a stop there. There is a little free time in Brisbane so you could possibly make it there. The easiest way probably would be to rent a car but there is a train service that goes nearby the zoo and they operate a courtesy bus from the train station.

Asked on June 1st, 2024Are there alternate dates for tours? I am looking for a tour beginning March 25, 2025.
- Via Travel AustraliaOperator•Written June 2024
For this 17 day Boutique tour the March 2025 departures are the 2nd, 16th and 30th of March. We do have a 16 day Flashpacker Adventure Tour (up to 49 years of age) departing 20 March but nothing on 25 March. Let me know if the flashpacker trip may be something that could work for you and I can send you some further innformation.

Asked on April 19th, 2024Is there a single supplement penalty for traveling alone. (I don't mind having a roommate if one is available). Would there be a place available in the ternary to wash clothes if needed?
- Via Travel AustraliaOperator•Written April 2024
There is a single supplement if you to have your own room, however if you are happy with twin-share we will match you with a roommate if available. Several of our accommodations have laundry facilites, some are free, some are paid and some are even right in your room. We have a number of two night stays which makes it the prefect time to get some washing done.

Andrea
Traveler•Written April 2024Is there a required minimum number of people going on this trip in order to go? Once I book on line, does that mean that the trip is happening and I can book flights? If there is another solo female traveler that would not mind a roommate during the trip sign me up!

Asked on October 22nd, 2023Hi there, I'm looking for a bit more information on the Sydney to carnes tour. Please could you give an example of the accommodation and confirm that it is double rooms? Also, are meals included ?
- Via Travel AustraliaOperator•Written October 2023
We can definitely confirm double rooms throughout the trip - just be sure to mention it when booking. Our hotels on this trip are usually small locally owned boutique hotels or apartment style, although we do use some larger hotels in some cities, they range from 3.5* to 4.5* stars and all have private facilities. The apartment style often have washing machines in the room and some of hotels have washing facilities available on site (may be a charge), which is super handy when you are on the road! Hotels can vary from trip to trip but still remain the same standard. Some examples are Sydney - Holiday Inn Potts Point, Byron - Beachcomber, Cairns - Flynn Hotel. Breakfast is included on most days - except arrival day and free day in Byron. 3 lunches and 2 dinners.
