Why should we travel with Bunnik Tours?

Bunnik Tours is a family business with a focus on crafting itineraries that really get to the heart of all that a destination has to offer through a balance of organised sightseeing, special local experiences and time for independent exploration. We know that some of the best experiences are when you wander away from the group and make your own discoveries.
In creating our small group tours, we are driven by two guiding principles. First, everything we do is about your experience, which is why we only run tours with a maximum of 20 people – read more that’s less time waiting, more time exploring. Second, when done properly, tourism can be an incredible force for good that generates economic and social benefits in the places we visit.

Fabulous Iceland 0
Bill and Yvonne, NSW, Australia, Sep 2026
Impressed with first tour with Bunnik. Perfect group size of 20 all Australians made it fun. Excellent itinerary managed by terrific tour director Gregor. Meals were excellent & accommodation very good considering days in remote areas. It was the last tour of the season & we were happy with that departure date even though we knew it would rain a bit read more in September but there would be less crowds. We always receive professional, efficient & friendly service from Hannah Perry.
Sth America will not disappoint! 0
Mark & Jenine, VIC, Australia, Sep 2026
What an amazing trip! Too many highlights to single one out. All of the tour guides were not just very lovely people, but also exceptionally good at their jobs. One glitch was a 24 hour travelling day; up at 4am and to bed at 4am the next day - Arequipa to Lima to Brazil (3 flights). And a recommendataion or two - we extended our stay in Buenos Aires read more to spend some time in the Palermo districts of Soho and Hollywood, then took the ferry to Uruguay - the town of Colonia del Sacramento (Unesco World Heritage site) is stunning and worth a couple of nights stay.
South American Explorer / September 2026 0
Paul and Kathryn, SA, Australia, Aug 2026
We absolutely loved our South American trip with Bunnik. We travelled with them before and will again. Travelling with small groups enables everyone to get to know their fellow travellers and to make new friends.
Prior to travelling we were a little concerned about how we would cope with the altitude, the amount of steps at Machu Picchu, and the read more heat in the Amazon, as we have some leg and knee issues. We are in our mid 60s and had no trouble managing as did most of our group, many who were older.
The tour director and the local guides had a wealth of knowledge, were very friendly and cheerful, and always willing to assist with any issues. All of the hotels were of a very high standard. We have booked with Global Journeys multiple times and will be using them again for our next trip. They are helpful, friendly and very efficient.

Northern Spain & Portugal 0
Kerry & Peter, VIC, Australia, May 2026
We recently travelled with Bunnik on a tour through Northern Spain & Portugal. The tour was very good and only a small group of 9 of us. Our Tour leader was great with his guidance, suggestions and able to speak the local language and knowledge of the countries. We had terrific bus drivers as well. All accommodation was clean, comfortable and staff read more helpful when needed. Breakfast at all the accommodation were plentiful and a good variety to suit many nationalities. The places we visited on this tour were lovely and local guides showed us around their town/village with pride and shared their history and stories. Our favourite places were in the Pyrenees mountain region, the lakes, rivers, valleys were beautiful to drive through in Northern Spain. Porto in Portugal was a special favorite as well where the accommodation was along the river with an easy walk if you wanted into the town, our weather was also 99% perfect. Would highly recommend this tour.

Intrepid Morocco Highlights 3
Katie, ON, Canada, Sep 2026
This was my first time traveling on a group tour, and was a great introduction to group travel! Intrepid truly checked all the boxes and put together an incredible itinerary that really encompassed Moroccan culture. Our local guide, Lahcen, was incredible. He showed us the local culture, shared his stories and experiences, and even arranged some exclusive read more experiences including a private after hours tour of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca and henna tattoos for the whole group, done by local Berber woman in their home. He truly took this tour to the next level and made the trip such a memorable experience.
This itinerary is fast paced, with only one night at most accommodations, but this allowed us to see so many of the country’s highlights in just 10 days. Each hotel we stayed at was clean and comfortable, offering air conditioning and complimentary breakfast. While the breakfasts were simple, there was enough variety to leave us all satisfied. Some of the hotels also featured a swimming pool, which was a nice touch in the Moroccan heat.
We had an excellent group of 13 people on the tour, with a combination of solo travelers, and pairs. The whole group got along really well and this helped to enhance the experience. While optional, the whole group chose to eat all of our meals together, spend free time together, and even indulge in some carpool karaoke! While I was traveling in a pair for this trip, it did leave me with confidence that I would enjoy traveling solo with Intrepid in the future.
The itinerary also allowed us to experience a variety of transit options including a ride on a local train from Marrakech to Casablanca, local taxis, and a private vehicle and driver. Our driver throughout the trip was excellent and helped to make the experience. The van was spacious and comfortably accommodated our group of 13. We made frequent stops along the way which made the long drives feel shorter and more exciting. Some of the ‘comfort’ stops included cooperatives for argan oil, rose oil, and dates, panoramic viewpoints, and of course, plenty of food stops.
The highlight of the trip for most was a sunset camel ride on the sand dunes of the Sahara, followed by an evening in a desert camp filled with drumming, singing, dancing, stargazing, and a bonfire. It was unforgettable and definitely one of the moments that will stick with me most from the trip.
I am a vegetarian, and my travel partner is gluten free, so we were both a little nervous prior to the trip about what our food options would be like. However, our guide did an excellent job at ensuring we were both taken care of at every meal, and we never ran into any problems. Each restaurant and hotel was incredibly accommodating of our dietary restrictions and were prepared for our arrival with appropriate alternatives for us both. The food consisted of mostly tagines, couscous, and pastillas, all of which we enjoyed.
At the start of the tour, our guide discussed doing a group tipping kitty, which is something many Intrepid tours utilize. The tipping kitty was optional, although everyone in our group chose to participate. We each paid 500 MAD to our guide on the first day of the tour, which then covered our tips to local guides, cost of local taxis, luggage porters at the hotels, and bottled water throughout the tour. At the end of the trip, the money that had not been spent was returned to everyone. This made things much easier day to day and if given the choice on future trips, I would certainly participate in the tipping kitty again.
Overall, this was incredible intro to group travel. This itinerary allowed us to see as much of the culture, food, hospitality, and landscapes that we could fit into 10 days. Each day brought new excitement and highlights.
Magical Morocco 0
Steve and Tracey, NSW, Australia, Sep 2026
Intrepid Travel's itinerary for their 18 day Premium Tour is a mixture of - Intriguing cultural sights and activities, tremendous vistas, amazing varied accommodation and unexpected culinary delights all overseen by our very capable and organised Tour guide, Kahlid. Although we experienced unusually high temps due to a heat wave over Morocco (up to read more 47 degrees C ) we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Lifelong memories were created when Camel riding into the Sahara Desert. Highly recommended!
