Goway’s 22 day fully escorted tour to Australia and New Zealand is endearingly named “The Waltzing Matilda” and is the ultimate tour to Downunder. It is one of only six fully escorted tours Goway operates and which have the special designation, “HOLIDAYS OF A LIFETIME”. The tour is flexible for those travellers who want to only take either the Australia or New Zealand portions (these are aptly called “The Best of OZ” and “The Best of New Zealand”), and for anyone wishing to extend their itinerary to include other parts of Australia or New Zealand, this is easily arranged.
The regular departures of the Waltzing Matilda feature air travel with the award winning Qantas Airways. The places visited give a well balanced experience in these two countries and allow for a pleasantly paced tour. New Zealand includes Auckland, Rotorua, Queenstown, Milford Sound and Christchurch. Australia features Cairns, the Great Barrier Reef, Ayers Rock, Alice Springs, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. There is also the ability to have an optional overnight train journey between Alice Springs and Adelaide on The Ghan train.
What makes the Waltzing Matilda a special tour? Not only does Goway really know Downunder having been offering travel to this part of the world for the past 39 years but included are additional features which are not usually found in other tours. An example is the Fun Themes which vary according to the departure such as Food and Wine, Geography and History, Lifestyles and Native Culture and Animal and Plant Life. All tour departures include tipping; special dinners and Goway’s twin share guarantee a benefit for single travellers. Goway will match them with someone of the same sex avoiding the single room supplement. If this option is taken up and there is no one else wishing to share, a single room is provided at no additional cost. Additionally a quality Travel Companion booklet with a wealth of destination information and a souvenir group photograph at the end of the tour are provided.
Goway’s professional Tour Directors who accompany the groups from North America know Downunder intimately having been there repeatedly. Goway does not hesitate to call The Waltzing Matilda the best escorted tour from North America to Downunder. Prices start from $9559 per person sharing basis from Vancouver.
