The tour director had a very strong accent. She was very difficult to understand. That was a pity, because other than that, she was excellent. We live in the US. Maybe for an Australian crowd, she can be followed. But if you are from anywhere else in the world, it’s a big problem to understand what she is saying.
Travel director ************** was superb highly organized and up with the play. Coach driver Tom was the best I have experienced, never lost one bag in 12 days. I only felt him brake once in the whole trip, two fine employees worth their weight in gold.
