Fred and Jane travelled to Australia and enjoyed a tailor-made holiday. Here's what they had to say:

This was my first time in Australia, and decided to combine a house exchange with friends with a bit of sightseeing. I’d been on a USA tour with American Sky already in 2014, but this time wanted to arrange my own tailor-made holiday – I loved the freedom of being able to decide on where I wanted to go, and then letting the team produce an itinerary just for me. The trip they created for me had a comfortable and relaxed pace, which I enjoyed thoroughly.

I was amazed by Uluru and the desert, and also loved Sydney and the Blue Mountains – cruising into Sydney Harbour at sunset was certainly a wow moment – it was a very beautiful sight and one I won’t forget. My favourite place overall though, was travelling to Grampians and Healsville and getting close to so many Australian animals. Australia’s native animals are so unusual, so it was great to see them up close. I even made friends with an albino kangaroo!

The people in Australia are so friendly and welcoming, which made the holiday all the better, and I really enjoyed trying my first Aussie pie.

If you’re hoping to travel to Australia soon, contact Australian Sky and tell them what you would like to do and how much you’re willing to spend, and they will do the rest. I would love to go back and visit other parts of Australia but we will just have to see what the future holds.

We would like to thank Fred & Jane for sharing their story with us and hope to welcome you on another holiday soon..
