Roy’s Solo Holiday to Australia

My recent trip to Australia was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the itinerary was seamless, thoughtful, and perfectly tailored — a true 5‑star experience. Every hotel throughout the trip was well located and of exceptional standard.

The adventure began in Melbourne, from there I moved on to Sydney where I enjoyed some fantastic cricket. Just when I thought the trip couldn’t get any better, Cairns delivered the spectacular Kuranda Scenic Railway and Skyrail. The journey ended in Brisbane, a wonderful city with a beautiful river.

Questions and Answers

What did you do in Melbourne?

The organised tours in Melbourne set the tone for the entire holiday. The Great Ocean Road and Twelve Apostles were breathtaking, and the VIP Philip Island experience was unforgettable. Every detail was handled with such care that all I had to do was enjoy the moment.

What were your highlights in Sydney?

It was the Blue Mountains tour that truly blew me away – the range of activities included made it a standout day. The Opera House tour with dinner that followed was on another level entirely — a world‑class experience I’ll never forget.

What did you do in Cairns?

Cairns delivered the spectacular Kuranda Scenic Railway and Skyrail, an absolute must for anyone visiting Australia. Unfortunately, due to a passing cyclone, my Great Barrier Reef trip was cancelled — but Freedom Destinations were so efficient that the refund arrived the very next day. My schedule didn’t allow for rearranging, but that simply gives me the perfect excuse to return.

What was your final stop?

The journey ended in Brisbane, a wonderful city with a beautiful river and a charming Koala tour that was the perfect finale.
