Toured Sydney, Australia. Josh was a great tour guide. He made sure everyone on the trip was comfortable and had everything they needed. Lots of interesting information and recommendations for further travel. Ultimate were very helpful making sure we had all the information we needed and were always available to help. Highly recommend, especially if you're a first time solo traveller and feeling a bit nervous about going alone.

I was on the 3 week East Coast highlight tour in September and had the best time ever. I loved my girls group and we had such a fun time with our awesome tour guide Katherine!!😊
She always tried to make everything as comfortable as possible for everyone and we had so much fun all together. 👑
Such an amazing and unique experience. Everything was planed and organized so well for us.
Can 100% recommend this tour for solo travelers who don’t want to travel completely on their own.
Booking that tour was such a good decision! 🤩

A friend of mine recommended Ultimate Travel to me and it did not take long for me to realise why.
From first contact with the company, Hoggy in the sales team was courteous, attentive and always quick to answer any questions I had when booking my tour package, which made organising my East Coast trip so much easier.
The jewel in Ultimate Travel's crown was without a doubt my tour guide, Josh. Josh ensured that every moment of the 3-week tour ran seemelessly from start to finish and, thanks to him, I have finished the tour with the most amazing memories and I loved every minute of it. Josh was extremely knowledgeable about every place that we visited - I particularly loved his fun facts and hidden gems. Josh was more than just a tour guide, he became a close friend and a key part of my East Coast experience.
I would 100% recommend Josh and the team at Ultimate Travel. I hope to book another adventure with you soon!

Had the best time on my 6 weeks east coast tour with ultimate travel. We visited so many great places and I made the best memories with the most amazing group of people. Our tour guide Katherine was the best and she made sure we all had the best time and that everything ran smoothly. By the end of the trip she’d become a friend. Would recommend the tour to everyone!

I cannot recommend ULTIMATE Travel enough! Our guide Mia made everyone in the group feel welcome right from the start, and she kept such a warm, easygoing spirit going for all 5 weeks together. As a first-time backpacker, I always felt comfortable bringing her my questions and worries, no matter how small. She went above and beyond too, creating superlative awards for us at the end of the trip and snapping photos to send back home to our families. We miss you already, Mamma Mia!

I was staying for one week with the group and i would definitely say that this was one of the best weeks of my life.
Every activity was new to me and all the people were so funny and friendly.
Especially a big shout out to my group leaders Liz, Marcus and Ethan you guys did an amazing job so that it was never boring for us.
I can definitely recommend this adventure, its also a really good way to get some first impressions of Australia.

I had the most amazing time doing the 6 week East Coast tour. We visited so many incredible places and did so many fun activities. Everything was so well organised and I genuinely enjoyed every single part of the trip.
Our tour guide Jon made the whole experience even better. He ran the tour very smoothly, was always helpful, and made sure we had a great time.
One of my favourite things was meeting so many amazing people and making so many new friends. I’ve had the time of my life and made memories that I’ll never forget.
I’m genuinely so sad that the 6 weeks are already over, but I can absolutely recommend the tour and I would 100% do it again!

I’ve just finished an amazing 5-week East Coast tour with Ame, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better tour leader! ❤️ She’s such a genuine, caring and positive person who went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the best possible experience. She brought the whole group together, made everyone feel included and made every stop so memorable with her amazing recommendations and enthusiasm. You can really tell how much she loves what she does and how much she cares about everyone in the group. Thank you, Ame, for all the unforgettable memories! 🥹💕 xxx
