It was a wonderful trip with friendly fun people. Tour guide and driver were top of the ladder. The only down side was having to sit on a bus for so long because the first part of the trip was so far from anywhere and each other. Motels were very good, food was excellent. Tracey Standing was very easy to work with.
OK in parts but overall disappointing 1
Dave and Marilyn, VIC, Australia, May 2024
As usual Global Journeys provided an efficient service and we would certainly use them again. However, although the tour had its high spots, we were generally underwhelmed by many days of unending travel leading to uninteresting destinations. In particular we were looking forward to Kalgoorlie but apart from driving to the Super Pit lookout and reservoir ...read more we didn’t see anything else despite there being numerous attractions available. We left the following morning for Esperance at 7.30am when we feel we could have had a visit to a museum in Kalgoorlie to learn more about the gold mining. The driver seemed to want to leave very early each morning to beat the crowds - there weren’t any crowds! Leaving Kalgoorlie at 7.30am, we had morning tea at 8.30am and lunch at 10.30am which didn’t seem very well planned. We arrived in Esperance at 3.30pm! However, overall the accommodation and food were excellent. Highlights of the trip were Wave Rock, wildflower walk and talk, Valley of the Giants and aerial walk, Cape Leeuwen Lighthouse and Margaret River wine tasting and farewell lunch. We don’t think we would choose to use Travelmarvel again and couldn’t recommend this tour to any of our friends. The Tour Leader was very pleasant but didn’t seem to add anything extra.
