I recently did the 8 day Boutique WA tour from Perth to Exmouth. It was absolutely fantastic, our tour guide Ollie was amazing and went all out to ensure our trip ran smoothly and he was very knowledgeable with regards to the areas we visited. The group of people on the tour were amazing and we all got on so well with lots of laughs whilst seeing this amazing state. My bucket list has been ticked off finishing with incredible swims with the whalesharks in Exmouth. Highly recommend this 8 day tour, just fantastic!!!

We did the 8 day tour from Perth to Exmouth and it was one of the best experiences we have ever had! Originally we were considering to do the trip ourselves, but after working out expenses - it was actually a lot cheaper to go with Viatravel.

Every day was perfectly curated, it’s almost impossible to pick a favourite activity but spending 2 days at Monkey Mia was very special. Being in the water with wild dolphins - only a metre away as they are being fed! The wildlife in WA is unmatched.

Ollie was our tour guide and not only was he extremely knowledgeable of the areas we visited, but overly accomodating to specific needs of the each member of the tour group. You can tell he has such passion for his job by his positive energy and exceptional story telling! Absolute legend!

This is your sign to book the trip and make sure you include the whale shark swim as it really was the icing on the cake for us. Unreal! Thanks again!

We took the Via Travel Brisbane to Cairns tour in April 2025. The tour was fabulous. The itinerary was really good with a nice mix of activities and down time. Eion, our tour guide, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. We highly recommend this small group tour.

I had the extreme pleasure to be part of the small boutique tour with Via Travel Australia. Jason, our guide, was a balance of fun, knowledge, great activities and suggestions. It was my first tour in over 10 years and if I had known what an amazing job Jason, Tara, and the rest of the crew at Via does each and every day - well I would have been on a tour with them sooner!
Through the recent floods, storms and re-routing…..the team had it covered. We felt safe and taken care of. We had a brilliant group of people; it felt like we were all traveling with friends. I cannot recommend the Via team enough, the hotels, activities, options, meals, ability to turn on a dime, and company were all exceptional.

We just completed the 16 day Best of East Coast Australia tour with Via Travel. The amazing Cara was our tour guide throughout. She was passionate, knowledgeable, funny and personable. The tour was well paced, informative and beautiful. Via Travel also went out of their way to fly us north, past the flood ravaged regions, at no additional cost and with little impact on the itinerary. I would strongly recommend Via Travel when considering your many travel options.

Just finished the 16 day east coast tour and loved it. It was a smaller group which was nice. Accommodations were great. Loved the variety of spots picked for breakfast and lunches. A good mix of group stuff and free time. Our tour leader Cara, was fantastic. Great knowledge of Australia, great personality and sense of humor. She made our trip fun. Also kudos to Via travel for handling a weather related issue without impacting our trip. I'd highly recommend them.

I was a little concerned when first booking this tour because it's a relatively small company. But the tour was every bit as good as the big outfits. Nice hotels, excellent guide and they smoothly handled a weather caused diversion. I would definitely book with them again.

My husband and I took the East coast tour from Sydney to Cairns .It was fantastic from start to finish.Everything ran smoothly and there was a relaxed atmosphere.We were part of a small group made up of different nationalities and ages.By the end it felt more like traveling with a group of friends.Eoin , our guide did an amazing job and was super helpful.We enjoyed all the usual attractions which were wonderful but we also got to experience the Australian way of life by visiting lesser well known places.We had cafe breakfasts most days which I loved and stayed in motel style accommodation , all of which were central and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and can recommend Via travel without hesitation .Thanks to everyone involved in providing a wonderful experience for us .

We were a small group of 8 people and visited the east coast of Australia. There was sooo much to see and experience. The starting point was Syndey, then on to Byron Bay, Brisbane and Cairns. I always felt comfortable and in good hands. Our guide Eoin was great and accompanied us well throughout the two weeks. A formative trip for life! Thank you for everything!

My wife and I traveled the Sydney to Cairns Best of Australia _ 17 Day Boutique Comfort Tour in November 2024. Our agent Tara with the Via Travel Australia, Sydney office, was so helpful with planning our tour and even suggested things to do in Sydney for 5 days before our tour started and 4 days in Brisbane after the tour ended. Our guides Jason (Sydney to Brisbane) and Eoin (Brisbane to Port Douglas) were so knowledgeable and took us to all the wonderful places that were included in the tour itinerary. Many of these places we would have never experienced on our own. Jason barbecued kangaroo for our dinner one evening which was a treat. Along with Eoin, both guides made our trip very enjoyable and exceeded our expectations.
Thank you Tara, Jason and Eoin for an amazing adventure.
