This Australia Vacation package was designed for a couple from Los Angeles. They only had about a week for their trip and wanted to visit the two largest cities in Australia: Melbourne and Sydney. This vacation package gave them plenty of excitement in both of these beautiful cities.
During their Australia Vacation in Melbourne, they visited the city’s iconic sports venues, including the Rod Laver Arena, Flemington Race Course, and the Grand Prix Circuit. They enjoyed exclusive access to media centers and members-only areas for an exciting behind-the-scenes experience. The next day, they visited Moonlight Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park to see the wildlife of Australia. There, they enjoyed close encounters with kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, colorful birds, and much more. They spent their last day in Melbourne exploring the many galleries, museums, and restaurants the city has to offer. They also took a tour to see Melbourne’s hidden gems and spent an evening on the Colonial Tramcar Restaurant for a unique dining experience.
Continuing their Australia Vacation package, they made their way to Sydney, Australia’s largest city, and spent an evening taking in iconic sights like the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House, and Royal Botanical Gardens. In Sydney, they enjoyed a morning tea cruise of the beautiful Sydney Harbour and learned about the history of the area while seeing the gorgeous sights. The next day, they explored the city on a private half-day bicycle tour to see iconic and historical structures while receiving fascinating information from their expert guide. Finally, they enjoyed a backstage tour of the Sydney Opera House. In their final evening in Sydney, they were free to indulge in the city’s world-class dining and wine.
At last, after experiencing the highlights of Melbourne and Sydney, their Australia Vacation came to an end. They were transferred to the airport to begin their journey home.
