An amazing tour of Australia, so many special experiences throughout the four weeks. An excellent tour director and a fabulous group of people to share time with.
We have done several tours with Travelsphere over the years and cannot fault the company at all. Their organisational skills are excellent and their tours tick all the boxes on a country or region's "must see" list. As well as the advertised sights there are always extra surprises along the way and the leaders are friendly, knowledgeable and adaptable when called upon to make a change due to unforeseeable conditions/situations. Hotels are good too and there are always recommendations for restaurants where you can eat out. We have travelled with the company in Europe, N America, Australia, Mexico, Peru and S Africa and every trip has been a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

With so much to see in Australia you will need to pick your tour carefully, do you want to see the main highlights ? or travel to see most of the wonders on offer?
You can discover some of Australia's most iconic cities, famous landmarks and natural wonders as you travel from Melbourne to Brisbane, passing through Sydney, Uluru, Alice Springs, Darwin, Katherine and Cairns along the way on our Highlights of Australia tour. Some of the wonderful highlights you will experience are: The remarkable penguin parade on Phillip island, Syndey Opera House, the Blue Mountains and Three Sisters rock formation in Jamieson Valley, visit the first European settlement in central Australia, enjoy at Cocktail at sunset at Ayers Rock and then again at Sunrise and much more.
If you have a month of free time and want to discover pretty much all the wonders then you’ll need to go on The Wonders of Australia tour, where you’ll cover all of the above tour plus you’ll get to explore beautiful Perth and uncover the nature-lovers' paradise of Kangaroo Island, to see kangaroos, koalas and wallabies. Take a scenic journey along the Great Ocean Road to Melbourne, discover Adelaide and much more.
There are lots of highlights to see in Australia with wildlife a plenty, stunning coral reefs, iconic buildings, famous rocks and bustling cities.
The main highlights not to miss are;
When we think of Australia, we think of throwing another shrimp on the Barbie, but although they do love their BBQ’s with plenty of snags (sausages) and meat on them, the Aussies also like a wide variety of food and here are some dishes not to miss!
Keeping on the meat eaters path you could be brave and try some kangaroo? A lean meat that is known for being one of the healthiest meats around! But be prepared to eat it blue, as kangaroo can be as chewy as a boot if it is cooked more than rare. Locals and those that have ventured to try it say the closest comparison is beef.
For those with a large appetite you’ll want to try the fully loaded burger. Think of a burger copiously laden with meat, sauce and salad. Now add a ring of pineapple, pickled beetroot and top it off with a freshly fried egg!
For the white meat eaters we have Chicken parmigiana – a lighter, more well-known dish of Italian origin, or Barramundi - Grilled, fried or seared, it’s a much healthier substitute to battered fish and chips, and a true Aussie favourite
Vegetarians can enjoy a slice of vegemite on toast – don't worry, there are lots of other vegetarian friendly dishes for you to eat in Australia – dishes include mushroom sliders, Eggplant Parmigiana, Pumpkin and ricotta quesadillas, Plant based BBQ’s and much more
For those with a sweet tooth, the Aussies favour pavlova and Lamingtons, sponges dipped in chocolate and covered in coconut – yum yum!
For the adventurous, you can do as the indigenous do and try a Witchetty Grub! The first Australian indigenous tribe have eaten these little fellers for years. They’re supposed to taste like chicken and contain as much protein as an entire piece of steak!
Egg-laying mammals, Marsupials with a kick and birds in abundance: here's why in Australia, the wildlife truly is in a league of it's own.
There are so many reasons to visit Australia, the land 'Down Under'. Here we share just five of them, showing why this impressive country should be at the top of your wish list.

Viewed worldwide as a kind of modern utopia, Canada boasts an eclectic range of landscapes and scenery that’re sure to leave you spellbound; at the same time, its cities are well equipped for modern travellers looking for the comforts of home whilst overseas.
A richly varied country featuring everything from Maori traditions to breathtaking fjord lands, New Zealand is a truly magical place. Chosen by film director Peter Jackson as the real-world setting of Middle-earth in his adaptations of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, it’s plain to see that New Zealand enchants all who walk on its soil.
Land of the Free, Home of the Brave, Uncle Sam – the USA has more names than there are regions within its borders. From the verdant vineyards of Virginia to the luscious lakes of New England, this is a country of staggering natural beauty and a wealth of cultural complexities that fascinate everyone who travels here.
