To the top of Australia 0 Cape York and Tropical North by 4WD , NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
Interesting and informative trip. Well worth the effort and definitely a 'bucket list' tour. Accommodation, meals, 4WD vehicle and driver/guide Noel were all very good although the Bramwell Station accommodation was quite cramped. Our thanks to Grace for her assistance throughout the booking process.
Far North Queensland and beyond 0 Gulf Savannah Discovery by 4WD , NSW, Australia, Jun 2026
We combined the Gulf Savannah and Cape York trips back-to-back. Both tours were very interesting and worthwhile.
Highlights of the Gulf Savannah tour were sunset and drinks on a sand island in the Gulf at Karumba, exploring Cobbold Gorge and going deep into the Undarra Lava Tubes. Our driver/guide (Danny) was personable and informative, but some of read more the accommodation and meals were very basic.

Highlights of the Cape York tour were travelling the Bloomfield 4WD track, crocodile spotting in Weipa, exploring Bamaga, walking to the tip of Cape York, and checking out the highlights of Thursday Island. Our driver/guide (Noel) was excellent and very experienced/knowledgeable about the areas visited. Accommodation and meals were generally good, although Bramwell Station is quite different!

As usual, Grace from GJ was a great help with our booking, liaising professionally with Travelmarvel when the tour dates were changed late in the process.
River cruise 0 Lisbon with Douro Discovery , NSW, Australia, Jun 2026
Our river cruise was incident-free, well organised, and attention to detail could not be faulted. For our age group, it was paced, and every request was attended to with professionalism. The ship was clean and comfortable, and the meals were well presented with a good choice. We did enjoy the friendly atmosphere created by the ship's crew.
Canada & Alaska   0 Reflections of the Rockies and Alaska Cruise , NSW, Australia, May 2026
Very happy booking with Global Journeys. I had quick responses to any queries from Hannah Perry. Loved every moment of our Travelmarvel Reflections of the Rockies & Alaska tour. Everything was streamlined to make our journey pretty perfect.

In this instance, accommodation will be in twin-bedded rooms (not applicable on river cruises).
What is the average age of people on your tours & crusies?
Our clients are generally 55+, but more than age, a positive attitude is important in a group situation. We have found ages to be as diverse and varied as the sites and attractions you will see on tour.
What is Travelmarvel's Deposit Cancellation Cover?
With Travelmarvel's Deposit Cancellation Cover you can cancel your holiday 100 days prior to travel and retain a full Travelmarvel holding credit of the deposit paid. There are no penalties if a new booking is then made within three years. If you wish for us to include this protection in your quote, please let us know when enquiring.

Since we cannot guarantee pre-assigned seats or do a group check-in ahead of time, your tour director will assist you at the airports.

Gratuities are included for all of your included meals, hotel charges, Travelmarvel tour director, driver and local guides. See your travel documentation for any variations to this.
