​'Our trip was fantastic. Our New Zealand portion of the trip was flawless with limos and buses picking us up at the proper times. Queenstown, Milford Sound, the TSS Earnslaw and Walter's Peak experiences were all great. On our free day, we did the gondola ride to the mountain top and then rode the luge cars down!

The Luxury Gold excursions offered through Insight Vacations during our time in Australia was the best. Our tour director was David and he handled everything. We found him to be very personable and knowledgeable about everything we saw. We had a variety of local guides lined up to offer further insights.

The Great Barrier Reef was well organized for tourists. A high-speed boat picked us up at Port Douglas and took us to an offshore facility (floating barge made for diving) about 70 km out. It offered scuba, snorkel, helmet dives, as well as glass-bottomed and submarine dives. Terri did the helmet dive and after that we both snorkeled and did the sub dive. Great fun!

​​Uluru was certainly a high point on the trip especially seeing it at sunrise and sunset while eating appetizers and drinking wine. The group we were with had only 12 people who we all got to know over the 2 weeks we were together. Dave scheduled a helicopter ride for the 3 of us over Uluru and Kata Tjira.

Our adventure in Sydney adventures was the best! The sailboat cruise around Darling Bay provided views of Sydney most people don't often see. We then walked across the Sydney Bridge, went to Bondi Beach, and had dinner at the opera house. Wow!

​All the hotel accommodations were excellent with The Langham in Sydney and The George in Christchurch leading the way.

All of us thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend it to others.'
