My friend and I are looking at the Australia/New Zealand tour for next year. Like most of you, we have had the good fortune to be able to see a lot of spectacular scenery over the years especially in Alaska, Hawaii, most of the Pacific Coast, Norway, Austrian and Swiss Alps and Italian Dolomites plus many national parks in the USA. Patagonia is coming later this year and poor Iceland has been bumped 3 times but we’ll get there.
Australia/New Zealand via Tauck sounds like a great trip based on your reviews, but also very expensive, especially if you add in the airfare to get there. I’m a Tauck traveler because I enjoy the tours, the directors and the guests but this time I am focusing on scenery and culture. The food and wine experiences look great but not my main focus this trip.
Can anyone who has taken this tour please tell me: Did you get to experience as much natural beauty, wildlife and cultural immersion as you wanted, and how did that particular aspect compare with your other travels? Would you have added any other locations to this itinerary? Thank you.
