Small Group Tour Small groups are usually defined as between 10 and 24 travelers, often less. If you're the kind of person who enjoys more intimate experiences and personal service this is a good choice. All else being equal you will pay a premium for this style vs a larger group tour.
Private Guided Private tours give you the undivided attention of a guide, and often involve special access to sites and unique experiences not available to larger groups. This is a great option for families, couples, and small friend groups. Expect to pay a bit more for the extra service.
Self Guided Tour A travel company plans your itinerary and arranges all the logistics including lodging, local activities, and transportantion. You have the flexibility of a solo trip while still getting the convience and time savings of expert planning. Get 90% of the benefits of a tour, without a guide.
Group Tour Groups are between 25-60 people, typically ~30-40. Usually there will be many opportunities to split off and enjoy meals and excursions in smaller groups. This is the most economical way to travel, saving up to 40% versus booking the same itinerary yourself.
River Cruise These vessels are smaller than most ocean cruisers, limiting which amenties are available. Passenger counts can vary. One of the biggest advantages of a river cruise is the ability to dock at smaller ports and local villages.
Small Ship Cruise Small ship cruises usually have a max passenger count of 500. The primary purpose of these trips is to spend time off the vessel in local ports (e.g. Mediterranean) or experiencing nature (e.g Galapagos or Antarctica). Cabins can vary from budget to luxury.
Large Ship Cruise This is the "floating city" experience, with multiple ways to enjoy your vacation aboard the ship as much as on land. Ships are multiple floors, provide several activities, culinary, and shopping options. They often make fewer stops and have less time available for shore excursions.
Retreats Similar to a self guided tour but staying in one location only with activities and day outings included as a part of the stay.

Australia in 2 Weeks
With 2 weeks in Australia, the possibilities are (almost) endless. Explore the outback, learn more about Australian wildlife, enjoy a meal in downtown Melbourne, or view the sunrise over Uluru. Stick to one region or split the trip in two.
To have the most immersive experience in one place, we recommend spending multiple days in one spot. This could look like 3 day in one city and 4 days in another before you travel across the country to see a new region with new sights and wonders.
There are many different combinations of sights and destinations that you can see within two weeks in Australia. Below are some itineraries to help you find the perfect trip in Australia.

Top Australia Attractions
Iconic Australian Cities To Explore on A Trip
Australia's main cities are primarily on the southeastern coast. This area is known for its amazing weather and was where the country first developed as a shipping and penal colony.
- Sydney: The most significant Australian city, Sydney is a hub for finance, tourism, and the arts. Most tours begin and end in Sydney, the country's principal port, where many prominent happenings occur.
- Melbourne: The funky, hip, and laidback city of Melbourne stays true to Australia's well-known calm and relaxed vibe. The city is the country's cultural capital, is considered one of the world's coffee capitals, and is voted one of the best places to live!
- Brisbane: The city at the heart of the famous Gold Coast, Brisbane is the jumping-off point for Australia's sun and beach culture. The weather in Brisbane is perfect all year round, and surfers, sunbathers, and beach volleyball players thrive there.
- Perth: Considered the most isolated major city in Australia, Perth is located on the southwestern side of the country. While Perth may be isolated from the rest of the country, you won't be bored with the Outback and the Indian Ocean being right outside your front step.
- Other possible destinations include Australia's capital, Canberra, and the far north city of Darwin. Consider taking a train across the width of southern Australia for an unforgettable ride through the Outback.
Visiting Nearby Countries on Australia Tours
The Land Down Under sits between the Indian and the Pacific Ocean. Visitors often check out nearby countries or include them in their tours when visiting Australia.
- New Zealand and Australia Tours: One of the closest countries to Australia and a typical tour combo, New Zealand is an island nation just east of Australia. It's known for its remarkable landscape, hiking, and role as the setting for The Lord of the Rings movies. While Australia has a primarily friendly rivalry with neighboring New Zealand (each believing itself to be the friendlier of the two), they have much in common. Together, they feature several world-class cities and some of the world's best hiking trails, deserts, rainforests, coastlines, and mountains, so if you choose to see both in one tour, allow plenty of time.
- Papua New Guinea: Just north of Australia is Papua New Guinea. This country occupies half an island and is commonly visited for its volcanic and Pacific atmosphere. The island nation boasts many natural wonders and an opportunity to witness and learn about local Pacific Island cultures.
- Indonesia: Only a short flight from Australia, Indonesia has been an island nation at the center of the backpacker and luxury travel world for years. The main area of Indonesia, Bali, draws in digital nomads, yogis, and anyone looking to relax and unwind on the beach.
