"Just finished this amazing tour. We had such a fun group and all got on incredibly well. Complete mix of ages. A very small group which was also a bonus as we became like a big family, looking out for each other and making such good friendships."

"I would definitely recommend Via Travel! Had the most amazing time on the east coast. A must for everyone who likes to travel in small groups and likes to experience the real culture instead of just tourist attractions."

Reviews
I traveled on the first East Coast Australia tour with Via Travel after they had confirmed their partnership with Intrepid Travel. Traveling from Sydney to Cairns on the 14-Day tour was fun filled, informative and filled with lots of wonderful sights from the very first day. Our tour guide was full of interesting facts along the way and knew all the great spots to stop. If you're wanting to get a taste of the East Coast of Australia from Sydney to Cairns, then this is the trip for you!
Hello, I´m Pablo and I wanted to share my experience with you.
Last december I got married to Carmen, we are from Spain and we wanted a different honey moon so we decided to join in the 14 day Sydney to Cairns tour. It has been the trip of our lives, they prepare everything with great care and you can see/feel the social responsibility of the company and the service providers they have chosen.
We were lucky to have Wara as a guide, since he is passionate about his country and a person fully committed to his community, able to give us a lot of information and anecdotes that made the trip much more interesting.
The first week of the tour was great, seeing spectacular places and having the opportunity to go through the koala hospital, but the second week is totally incredible and being able to end up in the Great Barrier Reef is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I recommend you that you to go diving.
Kind regards.

Gret tour company to discover Australia, I highly recommended them. And if you have any unique needs, get in touch with them, they were very helpful!
I recently went on a tour of the Whitsundays with Via Travel Australia. We had a small group and I had so much fun. The place is beautiful, I felt super safe while exploring this amazing part of Australia and learning about the culture. I highly recommend this tour and will most certainly be doing it again.
I travelled with Via travel on a small group east coast tour from Sydney to Brisbane and had a great experience with a small group of like minded travellers all between 20 to 40 years old. Great local inclusions every day, ticked the must see boxes, but also got off the beaten track to experience real nature and wildlife …plus importantly for me we met real local Australian characters and we got to try delicious local food and wine.
I will be travelling later this year on their new 14 day east coast australia adventure tour from Brisbane to cairns. Sitting in the office now dreaming of beaches islands and rainforest. Thanks to everyone at Via for helping me
to experience the real australia and have a relaxing holiday at the same time.

I travelled with Via travel on the west coast of Australia and loved the small group and local insights! I just booked onto their new 14 day East Coast Australia tour from Brisbane to Cairns and I am looking forward to a new adventure with them!
