tour company to Australia/NZ?
 
Could anyone recommend a good tour company for travel from U.S. to Australia/NZ?

Australian Pacific is a wonderful tour company. We traveled with them in Australia and N.Z.

Judy, <BR> <BR>Experience New Zealand (www.experiencenz.com) are excellent if you want a self drive type tour option. They also can arrange for a personalised tour (i.e. one person taking you around NZ). <BR> <BR>Regards <BR>Glenn

Dear Judy: <BR> <BR>We recently spent 10 days in OZ and 10 days in NZ. We wanted a travel agency in the region to set our itinerary. We found Travelworld LTD in Wellington, NZ who laid out a wonderful trip for us. Highly recommend them. Ask for Shelley. <BR>Their email [email protected]. Tell her John and Kay recommended them. <BR> <BR>John

Dear Judy : This advice is from someone who knows what he is talking about. Stay away from Newmans, Austravel, Inta-travel, Mitchell Corp and many others. They mark up the prices 100% from what you can buy rooms etc. direct. Try Swain or Don Em in San Francisco. they are fair. Ask the agent to tell you how much they are tacking on to the wholesale price. Use the internet. Regards Charles

Just came back from a wonderful trip to Oz...use Swain Travel agency in Philadephia, ask for David Thomas - an Aussie and he's great!! Best trip in my life.

I also used Swain Travel (and David Thomas)in Philadephia. Helped us book an awesome trip to AU last year and found prices to be very reasonable! Excellent agency!
