My wife and I had the pleasure of taking a "comfort" tour in August 2024 with Via Travel from Perth to Exmouth. This was an excellent tour, not only in content, but made special by our driver, tour guide, and organiser Jason. His detailed knowledge of the tour attractions, his guidance of our activities and direction could not be faulted and made the tour very special. Besides his knowledge of the area, he was an excellent and safe driver, as well as the occasional cook !. If you are looking for a great tour, I would certainly highly recommend Via Travel and their staff.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Sydney-Brisbane Adventure trip! Easy going agenda, with full respect to the land and the people. The hotels, meals, and particularly the obligatory Aussie BBQ were great. Byron Bay was a bliss, wish I stayed a month 🙂 Would skip Dorrigo and Newy, but understand that’s en route to nicer places! Shout out to Eoin for being such a legend!

Careful - you will want to move to Australia after this trip!

100% recommended!

A special shout-out to our guide, Justin, who was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure every part of our journey was enjoyable and went smoothly. Highly recommend booking your next adventure with them!

I actually only did the Brisbane to cairns portion of this tour, but had others in our group who completed the entire thing. They pack so much fun times into for my group only a week, but I never felt rushed at any of the locations. They always gave us ample time to see everything and enjoy the sites. From Fraser Island, to the Whitsundays, the Atherton Tablelands, and a day on the Great Barrier Reef. As a small group tour your able to get close knit with everyone and meet many people from all around the world. Our tour guide Justin was amazing, so informative, full of energy, and one of the best tour guides making sure everyone had the best time. I’m fact one day we were supposed to be having a long driving day, and our bus broke, we waited at the hotel for some time, but Justin problem solved until he was able to find us another form of transportation. The included meals were great, and the locations Justin picked to give us as an option for dinners on our first night somewhere was always great food. I would highly recommend Via Travel to anyone, especially if you get Justin as a guide.

I had the most amazing 18 day trip up the East Coast of Australia with Via travel! Jason, our tour guide, was a wealth of knowledge! He was so much fun, organised and really flexible! He is definitely highly experienced and knows Australia inside and out!

The tour group was small which meant moving from place to place was a lot easier and we could be flexible about our plans each day! We stayed in great accommodation, a lot of which was locally owned which I really enjoyed. It was nice to stay in smaller rooms of three people, I got to stay with my two friends for the whole trip which was epic!

We packed so much into the tour. Even on days where we were travelling more, Jason squeezed in little nuggets to break up the journeys. I felt we covered everything I wanted to see on the East Coast and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to travel in a smaller group setting! The highlight of the trip was Magnetic Island, our accommodation was brilliant and even though we had a free day, Jason took us around the island to see all the best spots, wild koalas, wallabies and waterfalls!!

Thank you so much Jason and Via for an epic tour and hopefully I can catch one of your West Coast trips next!

I recently had the pleasure of joining a Via tour travelling up the East Coast of Australia from Sydney to Port Douglas. It was a fabulous trip full of surprises and a huge variety of activities. All were included which I appreciated as it becomes annoying when every option incurs an additional charge. The accommodation was fabulous; we were surprised to find that we often ended up in a small studio with our own laundry facilities. Breakfast was included every morning and we were often taken to wonderful local cafes. But beating all was our guide Eoin who ensure everything was fun and ran smoothly. On our particular trip the weather caused a few issues but he ensured back up plans were made. His sense of humour and sense of fun too the trip to another level. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

We traveled with Via Travel Australia along the eastern coast of Australia from Sydney to Cairns. The trip was exceptional as we saw and experienced the absolute beauty of the country. We experienced kaolas and kangaroos at a rehab hospital facility, learned about the aboriginal culture, snorkeled at the great barrier reef, hiked through the daintree rain forest just to name a few experiences. The entire trip was led and managed by an over the top experienced crew. Our tour leader, Eoin Kennedy, was/is quite simply the best leader we’ve had on any tour we ever taken in the past. He is empathetic to the needs and happiness of the clients, incredibly knowledgeable, and has a fantastic sense of humor. His stories about the places and locales along the way help to enhance the travel experiences. I highly recommend Via Travel Australia for your Australian trips. Seriously good!

Have been on 3 trips with Via Travel now. Can't recommend highly enough. Guides were enthusiastic, knowledgable and went above and beyond to ensure the group enjoyed the trip and always had extras to suggest for those that wanted a little more. Accommodation was always clean and well situated. The itineraries are much better designed than what all the other big companies offer. Much more thought out, always including an indigenous experience or two, some down time (so important and usually overlooked on multiple day tours. It is a holiday after all!) and always covering the highlights. Looking forward to my next trip!
