The Smith family wanted to celebrate their retirement with a memorable Australian adventure but were concerned about planning and mobility considerations.

The Solution

We designed a custom 10-day Victorian tour combining their interests in wildlife, wine regions, and coastal scenery with appropriate activity levels.

The Experience

From Phillip Island penguins to Yarra Valley vineyards, the Smiths enjoyed perfectly paced days with new friends and expert guides.

The Highlights

Sunset at the Twelve Apostles, a private wine tasting experience, and spotting koalas in the wild became their most treasured memories.

The Outcome

The Smith family returned home with hundreds of photos, lifelong friendships, and already planning their next tour with us.
