AI summary of 90 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the guides and group leaders for their friendliness, helpfulness and organisational skills, with many noting that the leaders went above and beyond by assisting with practical matters such as bank account setup, job applications and booking onward travel. The standout strengths are the quality of group dynamics and the opportunity to make lasting friendships, combined with well-planned itineraries featuring activities such as surfing, paddleboarding and jet boating that travellers would not have organised independently. The most common criticisms are that group sizes can be too large for the number of guides, and that some hostels included in the tour fell short of the standard set by others on the itinerary.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
The Oz Intro tour felt magical, well thought out and full of exciting activities. Our leaders Tess and Kelsey made us feel safe and welcome straight away and knew so much about Australia and its culture.
I did the Oz Intro tour and had the best time thanks to our guide Tom. He had deep cultural knowledge, answered every question, and kept everything running seamlessly behind the scenes while bringing the group together.
I had a great time on the Oz Intro trip. Tom was an organised, knowledgeable and fun guide who made sure the group had a fantastic trip.
Lea looked after me on the Intro to Oz tour, greeting me at the hostel, helping with my luggage and making sure we were safe, well fed and had plenty of time to bond. She was caring, resourceful and knowledgeable, and still keeps in touch.
I was nervous about group travel, but I had such a good time I'd do it again many times over. Our leader Keira put me at ease from the start, supported us all the way and even sat down with me to plan my next steps after the tour.
I travelled with a lovely, fun group and our guide Tess was as friendly and helpful as you could want. All but one of the hostels were clean, comfortable and good value.
