Australia tours are among the most popular ways to see this continent. At Vacations To Go, we offer escorted Australian tours with a guide who accompanies the group throughout the itinerary. Tour operators employ skilled, professional tour directors who share their knowledge of Australia with travelers. Many Australian tours combine a segment in Australia with a portion in New Zealand or even an independent stay in Fiji or Tahiti. Other tours visit only Australia, with well-rounded itineraries that include major destinations.

Australia tours bring you close to the country's dazzling scenic beauty. You'll visit wildlife parks where kangaroos hop amid the brush, and be sure to get a picture or two of the koalas, wombats and emus you might see. Australia travel itineraries allow for excursions to the Great Barrier Reef for snorkeling, scuba diving or sailing. Australia travel packages also show you world-famous natural sights like Ayers Rock, a massive formation of 36 red-rock domes. On Australia tours that visit Ayers Rock, you can climb to the top or, if you prefer, stay at the base and hear stories of Aboriginal history.

Australia tours also explore sophisticated cities like Melbourne and Sydney. In Melbourne, Australia vacation packages might take in Melbourne University, the Parliament House or the Queen Victoria Market. Stop in a restaurant for a meal with the locals, a nice addition to Australia travel packages. Some Australia luxury vacations might feature an included dinner at one of Melbourne's top restaurants. Sydney and its world-famous Opera House are key sights on Australia vacations. A cruise of Sydney Harbor is included on some Australia travel packages, giving travelers a picturesque view of that great city.

Because in some cases you'll need to fly a long distance to reach the departure city of your Australian tour, you may want to arrive at the departure city at least one or two days in advance. This gives you time to rest and get oriented. Most companies offer hotel packages, available as add-ons to Australia vacations.
