Custom Self-Driving Tours of Australia

Very cute and quaint. Great location!

The Blue mountains are beautiful. And seeing the flocks of cockatoos was amazing. However this is a very physically demanding tour with lots of steps ( in 1 part there were 1000) and no safety rails. It was wet and slippery also. If I had known I would not have taken this tour.

Great experience. Lots of animals to see. Our guide took us behind the scenes to see and hold baby joeys and pet koalas. Amazing.

Great experience! The staff were great. There were only 9 of us do we got a lot of personal attention. The water was a little rough due to recent rain. Some people got sea sick.

The tour was canceled due to rain causing too high water levels for the ferry. The tour guide took us to a different part of the rainforest which we had 1 hour to spend. Was enough. Not much to see. Was disappointing.

Right out of the 80s. Physical keys to get in the room. Room on the 3rd floor - elevator was out of commission. Air-conditioned room was just big enough for the bed. The other "room" was out the sliding door (which scraped and rumbled when opening or closing) on a covered but open patio. The pool with waterfalls was cool.

Once in a lifetime experience. Education, helicopter ride, snorkeling, submarine - all 10s

I would have preferred a bit more information about the physical, the flora and fauna. Too much about the culture and religion.

Our personal walk with Dave was fun and informative. Very enjoyable.

This hotel is a classic airport hotel, and I judge aiport hotels by a different standard. When I stay at an airport hotel it is usually immediately before or after a flight and I’m looking for convenience and efficiency. The airport Rydges is super convenient to the international terminal and also just 50 meters from the T8 train line that runs every few minutes straight into Sydney. The room was clean and super functional, and an easy (flat, little car traffic) 5 minute walk from the international terminal. I would recommend it to other travelers looking for an airport hotel to facilitate their connections.

This hotel exceeded expectations in every respect. The location is spectacular—in a quiet neighborhood directly across the street from the Four Mile Beach, with 5-10 minute walking access to the best restaurants and shops in Port Douglas. The service was excellent, including a very good included breakfast. And the facilities were excellent. The room included a balcony overlooking the beach and in-room facilities (fridge, stove top, microwave, etc.) and as a result was very comfortable to stay in. Indeed, the room itself was a great destination. If I go back to Port Douglas I will stay at the Peninsula.

This is a fine hotel, but in a city that is otherwise quite beautiful (Sydney) this hotel is located on possibly the ugliest quarter acre in town—it is built in between two freeway ramps and the view out the window is 100% freeway. Functionally it was fine—clean rooms, nice breakfast, good service at the front desk. But given what i now know to be the alternatives in Sydney next time I go I would prefer a different hotel.

Daintree is amazing, and I had a great experience with my guide who did a great job.

A really well done experience from start to finish. A comfortable ship, really well informed and helpful staff, great food, and, of course, amazing snorkeling at the reef.

If you like helicopter tours this is a good one.

This experience was okay, but not great. Food was a bit mediocre and venue was fine, but not really all that different than the hotel.

A good tour with an excellent guide.

A great tour of an amazing building. After the tour we had dinner in the opera house at Bennelong’s — it was superb.

A great tour with a super informed and entertaining guide.
