What travelers are saying

"We loved this tour and would only change the tranz alpine train ride on last day. It got to be too long and went too late into the evening which was our last night. All the places, things we experienced were wonderful. Our tour director really enhanced our trip. Isobel was very knowledgeable, fun, respectful and friendly."
