We went on a cruise with Carnival. Getting on the ship was fast and easy. It was overwhelming inside initially, but once we knew the layout and which areas to avoid, it was fine. There were lots of options for different foods and where to eat. The rooms had lots of room for our bags.

Ethan Battison was a wonderful travel agent - always responsive, informative and helpful. The cruise was spectacular - gorgeous and interesting scenery, spacious and attractive boat, excellent food and friendly staff and guests.
Very informative tour around Portugal 0
Best of Portugal
Fredrick and Liesl, WA , Australia, Jun 2026
Enjoyed the 10 day tour around some interesting cities in Portugal. Our tour director Rui had tremendous knowledge of the places we visited and all the local guides too were well informed. Rui was kind and treated us to the many flavours of Portugal, more than any other tour director had done and this was our 7 th tour with Trafalgar. All the hotel read more accommodation was 4 star, with wonderful selections of breakfast. Only one hotel hadn’t done a clean of the bathtub which was disgusting. Although our Australian contact Hannah, did a great job, and although she advised the Trafalgar team, in plenty of time prior to departure of my change of dietary needs, I was embarrassed at the welcome dinner when I was counted as a special diet.
I was reluctant to book another Albatross tour due to a previous negative experience with a tour guide however current tour guide Vili and bus driver Boris restored my faith. Vili is a local from Istria so had extra knowledge and added personal touches to the tour. We had 13 people on a huge coach and I chose Albatross as it was the only tour company read more that went to Plitvice, Lake Bled, Postojna Caves and Predjama Castle. Starting in Vienna and ending in Trieste enhanced following the Habsburg journey. Sadly some of the fellow travellers always had to be the center of attention and I prefer tours that draw a variety of nationalities who seem more tolerant and open minded to other cultures, but this had the best itinerary for what I wanted to see...Grace ensured the booking was smooth so thank you.
It was such a great trip. Thanks to the excellent service from the tour director (Craig Hill) and the coach driver (George). Appreciated the stories and insights provided by the local guides. As well, enjoyed the friendly and fun travel companions on the coach bus. Overall, a memorable trip with laughter, memories and great company!
AAT Kings itinerary for this outback tour was thoughtfully planned. There were many opportunities to learn about Aboriginal culture and view spectacular scenery. We enjoyed getting to know our fellow travellers. Having some evenings free to dine without the group was appreciated. Highlights included "Under a Desert Moon", Field of Light Sunrise and read more Uluru Barbecue with star gazing. Walks along the creek bed at Kings Canyon, Kata Tjuta exploration, around base of Uluru and at Simpsons Gap provided ample photo opportunities. Accommodation at the three resorts was spacious and meals high quality.
Bus drivers/tour guides all knowledgeable. Perfect weather in early June for travel with warm days and no rain.

Scenic Slovenia and Croatia 0
Discover Croatia, Slovenia & the Adriatic Coast
Helen , QLD, Australia, Jun 2026
I had the best time on this tour in the beautiful scenic countries of Slovenia and Croatia. This was my first time travelling with Collette tours and I couldn’t have been happier. We visited beautiful places such as Ljublijana, Lake Bled, Plitvice Lakes, as well as the historical and interesting old towns of Split and Dubrovnik on the Adriatic Sea. read more There were guided tours in each place.
We also had lots of fun experiences from exploring little hill top villages, farm to plate lunches, sampling local tasty produce, liquors and wine and little surprises along the way with unexpected extras such as visiting a war bunker and an old salt mine. We had great accommodation and breakfasts in all stays!
Our tour manager Sonja was excellent and being from Croatia gave us great insights into the countries and cultures. Our driver was very safe and professional. All fellow travellers, mainly from the USA were friendly, fun and interested in sharing stories with us three Australians! I’d definitely consider travelling with Collette tours again.

This was my first HX Expeditions trip - and I did enjoy the trip once on board. The HX communication prior to that was nothing short of appalling, and highly stressful - couldn't get info about flights, times or anything. The full day in Longyearbyen was also poorly structured as it left us sitting in a hotel foyer for most of the day. BUT - on board read more - such a different experience - absolutely wonderful cabin staff, excellent meals and very pleasant ship facilities. Communication also had its problems aboard - with everything delivered via an app ... which mostly didn't work and had no back up, thus providing information sometimes up to 2 days late.
The scenery was spectacular and the zodiac trips a real highlight. There is nothing like the experience of the midnight sun, the -14C of the Arctic and the grandeur of glaciers and ice floes. Animal sightings were MUCH fewer than I had expected or hoped - and VERY distant - but still wonderful to see animals in their native habitat. A VERY strong set of binoculars and/or ultra long camera lens are certainly necessary. I would certainly consider another Arctic trip - but probably not with HX ... at least until their systems and communications improve.

East coast Canada tour by coach and cruise was wonderful. 0
Eastern Highlights & New England Cruise
Barbara and Nicholas, NSW, Australia, Jun 2026
Trip was excellent and the tour guide, Greg Watson, on the coach tour of Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City was excellent with his commentary and willingness to assist travellers with any queries, etc. The cruise by Emerald on Holland America ship was again an excellent tour with the cruise highlighting the small eastern Canadian cities and read more townships. The staff and standard of amenities and entertainment on the cruise was of a very high standard.
We had a great time lots of interesting sights and lots of laughs. We met some lovely fellow travellers whom I’m sure we will keep in touch with. Transport very comfortable and accomodation very good. Tracy did everything she could have to keep us fully informed and will definitely call again if we travel for a 3rd time with Backroads.
