    It was an excellent tour very well balance between the time spent in each place, the included hours, the hotels and transportation, and the service provided by the tour agents throughout the tour. Highly recommended! Thank you very much for the unforgettable experience.

    The accommodations and the transfers to and from hotels/ airport was good. We had three toyr provided by Vio Travel. The one in Melbourne was excellent. The one in Sidney didn't really have enough substance. The Fitzroy Island tour in Cairns was excellent although I would have liked to have gone to the Great Barrier Reef as well. I guess another trip to Australia is needed.😊
