Wonders of the South West 0 , VIC, Australia, Mar 2023
We were very happy with the tour and everything went smoothly. The accommodation, meals and sightseeing were great and our driver and tour director were excellent and gave us lots of information about the areas we were travelling through and also the history. Western Australia is so vast that we would never cover the distances that we did on the tour ...read more by ourselves. Also we were very impressed with how clean and well kept every city and town - no graffiti anywhere! The highlights were Monkey Mai, Pinnacles Desert and Wave Rock. We would have liked to spend more time in Margaret River. We would definitely travel with Travelmarvel again and book through Global Journeys. And thank you Jemma for all your good work with the bookings as everything worked out perfectly!
We had a terrific holiday 0 , ACT, Australia, Nov 2017
We really enjoyed our holiday. All the arrangements made by Travelmarvel went smoothly, the coach was very comfortable, the accommodation and meals were excellent. Our guide, Judy, was exceptionally good and our driver Ian was a great driver and good company. We managed to see a lot of Western Australia in a short time. The itinerary was excellent. ...read more We covered about 4600 kilometres in 15 days but we never became tired of the long bus trips. They were an essential part of our experience of the vastness of Western Australia.
Wonderful Western Australia 3 , NSW, Australia, Oct 2017
All inquiries and our booking were handled professionally by Yvonne yet again. Travelmarvel's 15 day Wonders of the South West of WA was excellent. A small group in a large coach. We traveled over 4500km, everyday there were new experiences and places to see. There were some excellent local guides especially at Wave Rock Hyden, HMS Sydney Memorial Geraldton ...read more and Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges.

The tour was not rushed even though there were some long days. The guide/driver, Wally and Andrew, found time for extra stops to view the wildflowers. We felt that our group had extra experiences to the other tours that were traveling the same route at the same time. Accommodation was at a high standard except for one, included meals were of a high standard with plenty of choice.
Comprehensive variety of wonderful places 0 , Australia, Oct 2014
Beryl and I have just returned to Rockhampton after a fabulous 13 day tour, preceded by two days with friends in Perth and two days again after the tour finished. I just wanted to thank Georgie and Global Journeys for your assistance to us as we prepared for the trip and made our bookings. We enjoyed the comprehensive variety of the wonderful places ...read more we saw including the wildflowers. Travel Marvel and APT are to be congratulated on their attention to detail and the information they supplied to us before we departed. We recommend the tour to anyone who is interested. Our Tour Director, Jeff Armstrong, was incredible in sharing his vast knowledge of each area that we visited and our driver, Jeff Osborne, made us all feel extremely safe as we travelled the various roads along the way. Nothing was ever a trouble to either of them.
