Guided vs Unguided Group Tours

When it comes to the East Coast of Australia, the difference between a ‘Fully Guided Group Tour’  and ‘Semi-Guided package’ can make a world of difference to your experience. At ULTIMATE, we are proud to be one of the few operators offering both Fully Guided East Coast Group Tours and ‘Semi Guided East Coast Packages’ Compare our East Coast travel options below.

FULLY GUIDED GROUP TOURS

Fully guided Group Tours makes all the difference in creating a memorable and stress-free adventure. Each tour is acompanied by a Group Leader who will be travelling with you from start to finish and will showcase the very best of the East Coast to you.

Our most popular ‘East Coast Explorer’ option has three options. Choose between our 5, 6 or 7 week itineraries that all connect and welcome travellers booked on each option before departing Sydney for a continuous 5 weeks. This tour provides the perfect balance of easy-paced travel, exciting inclusions, and ample free time to explore at your own pace, all with the support of a knowledgeable leader and consistent tour group of other travellers on your itinerary.

SEMI GUIDED ‘PACKAGES’

Looking for a bit more independence on your East Coast adventure? Semi-guided Packages might be the perfect fit! Semi Guided packages are booked as solo adventures that other like-minded travelers might also be experiencing. These packages are built without the full-time structure of a guided tour. You’ll still enjoy the convenience of pre-planned activities and a representative for key parts of your journey—usually around 20% of the experience—while having plenty of free time to go off and discover on your own. It’s the ideal balance for those who want the best of both worlds.
