Overview

Australia is the ultimate family big-trip — the Opera House and harbour of Sydney, the theme-park thrills of the Gold Coast, and snorkelling the technicolour Great Barrier Reef out of Cairns. This 8-night journey links the three by internal flights, balancing city icons, beaches and once-in-a-lifetime reef time.

We handle the Australia visitor visa, the internal flights, the reef cruise and the theme-park passes, and can add Melbourne, Uluru or a Great Ocean Road drive.

Schengen visas for five of us, approved without a single hiccup. The day-wise Europe itinerary was so well thought out — Switzerland was the highlight of our lives.
