WHAT TRAVELLERS ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT
Read enough of these and the same things keep coming up. The crew on the ground. Groups that stayed friends after the tour ended. Someone sorting out a problem at short notice — a missed flight, a change of plan, a visa question at the wrong hour.
Very little of it is about the scenery. That part takes care of itself. What people write about is whether the trip was run properly.

- Had the best time on my 6 weeks east coast tour with ultimate travel. We visited so many great places and I made the best memories with the most amazing group of people. Our tour guide Katherine was the best and she made sure we all had the best time and that everything ran smoothly. By the end of the trip she’d become a friend. Would recommend the tour to everyone! - 19/10/26read moreread lessMe and my girlfriend have just finished the 1 week tour in Australia. It was well organised and our tour guide Marcus did a fantastic job. He was very knowledgeable with his local facts and had lots of fun games to play whilst out on our trips. It was a great way for us to kick off our working holiday. - 18/10/26read moreread lessI had the best time on this tour and made so many amazing memories that I’ll never forget! Some of the highlights were Fraser Island, snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef, skydiving, the scenic flight and sailing around the Whitsundays. There were so many incredible experiences packed into the trip, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better time with the best people !
Jess was really helpful throughout the trip, especially when I injured my knee, and made sure I was okay and still able to enjoy the tour 🫶 - 07/10/26read moreread lessJust finished my 3 weeks tour on the East coast and it was better than I could have ever imagined - our tour leader Mia went above and beyond to make our experience magical.

Thank you Mia and thank you Ultimate - 06/10/26read moreread lessHad the best time on the 3 week East Coast trip! Couldn’t have done it without the most amazing tour guide and friend (Mia), she was always there for anyone who needed it.

We made the best memories and friends, k’gari and scenic flight were definitely the highlights for me! - 05/10/26read moreread lessI was on the 3 week East Coast highlight tour in September and had the best time ever.

Would easily recommend for travellers and residents of Australia alike. Once again thankyou ultimate and thank you Mia. - 03/09/26read moreread less - Toured Sydney, Australia. Josh was a great tour guide. He made sure everyone on the trip was comfortable and had everything they needed. Lots of interesting information and recommendations for further travel. Ultimate were very helpful making sure we had all the information we needed and were always available to help. Highly recommend, especially if you're a first time solo traveller and feeling a bit nervous about going alone. - 28/08/26read moreread lessJust finished our 5 week East Coast tour and am so sad it's over. We've all had an amazing time! Jon our tour guide was great - the friendliest guy and always giving us advice, making sure we were prepared (especially for places like K'gari). Shout out to Marcus, too - his walking tour of Sydney was great fun. Overall I would love to do another tour with Ultimate Travel and definitely recommend to anyone considering them 🙌🫶 - 24/08/26read moreread lessI spent 5 weeks on the east coast explorer with our guide Jon and a bunch of girls. We had a good time and everything ran smoothly. Touractivities were nice. I‘d recommend it to people who like to see a lot of stunning places along the eastcoast but don‘t like to organize themself. My highlight was on Fraser Island/K‘gari because of 3 days digital detox and driving offroad - 24/08/26read moreread lessHad an absolutely amazing time on the 25 day Australia tour! The trip was really well organised and our tour guide Byron made sure everyone was included and kept the tour fun and gave us lots of fun facts about each place we stayed at!!

The team in the ultimate office are super helpful. Would highly recommend. - 18/08/26read moreread lessI cannot recommend ULTIMATE Travel enough! Our guide Mia made everyone in the group feel welcome right from the start, and she kept such a warm, easygoing spirit going for all 5 weeks together. As a first-time backpacker, I always felt comfortable bringing her my questions and worries, no matter how small. She went above and beyond too, creating superlative awards for us at the end of the trip and snapping photos to send back home to our families. We miss you already, Mamma Mia! - 15/08/26read moreread lessWhat a superb experience
I was fortunate enough to travel with an incredible group of people, guided by an exemplary group leader (Byron)
The company organised excellent experiences throughout the entire 3 weeks. Most notably sailing and camping.
The hostels were consistently high quality
I have no complaints, what a brilliant organisation to travel under - 27/07/26read moreread lessjust finished the best 5 weeks of my life traveling up the east coast with ultimate travel… not only did i see and do things i never thought id cross off my bucket list!!!

It was such an incredible experience, and I made so many unforgettable memories along the way. Everything was well organized, the places we visited were amazing, and it was the perfect mix of adventure, fun, and meeting great people.

I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone thinking about exploring Australia's East Coast. - 13/07/26read moreread lessHad an amazing time with my 5 week East Coast tour, guided by Ozzy.
Australia itself is ofcourse an unreal place, but Ozzy made it a particular fun time. Not only was everything planned well, but he was also extremely funny and you can tell that he likes his job very much.
Would recommend this experience to everyone!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 11/07/26read moreread lessI had an amazing 5 weeks doing the East Coast explorer tour! I learned a lot backpacking Australia, especially through our tour guide Ozzy who taught us a lot of extra facts about Australia and Australian history. I also met a lot of people throughout the tour and made many new friends, I highly recommend it! - 06/07/26read moreread lessI did the 3-week East Coast tour, and what an experience it was! The places you visit, the activities you do, and the people you meet make this trip truly memorable.
Eloise was our guide, and she did an incredible job. Her knowledge, organisation, and enthusiasm really made the trip one to remember.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the East Coast and meet new people to share the experience and memories with. - 04/07/26read moreread lessI liked the east coast tour really really much. Met so many new people and the tours was incredible beautiful. The tour leader had a really good knowledge and we saw a lot of hidden gems I might have never seen in my live. I have to say the Organisation was sometimes not really good. We was just really often in clubs and partying. I wished me that we should do more activities like go bowling oder maybe Billard oder play soccer or something like that. Anyways it was a really good tour I love all of you guys🤪 - 24/06/26read moreread less
