From adding a day, upgrading a hotel and moving the flight home by 2 weeks to accommodate a cruise we had already booked, the experience was terrific.”

More Answers to Your Questions

How many days should I spend in Australia?

We recommend at least 9 – 10 days in Australia, which gives you 7 or 8 full nights in the country. Most tours start at 8 nights, visiting three major Australia cities, usually Sydney, Cairns, and Melbourne. This is a good introductory tour route for first time visitors. If you want to see the main highlights of Australia, we recommend a tour of at least 12 nights.

What is the best time of year to visit Australia?

Spring (September–November) and Autumn (March–May) in Australia are generally the best times to visit, with typically mild weather across most of Australia and fewer crowds. Keep in mind that Australia’s seasons are opposite to those in the US, so December is summer and July is winter.

For a full breakdown by region, visit our Best Time to Travel to Australia page.

Do I need a visa to travel to Australia from the US?

Yes, US citizens need a visa to enter Australia. This is called the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA), which is easy to obtain online before departure. For full details on the process and requirements, visit our Australia Travel Visa page.

What currency does Australia use?

Australia uses the Australian Dollar (AUD). Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, and ATMs are available throughout the country. Be sure to notify your bank of your travel dates before departing to avoid your card being flagged for foreign transactions. 

What should I pack for Australia?

We recommend packing a waterproof phone case, Australian power adapter, sunscreen, camera, water shoes, a portable charger, your prescription medicines, insect repellent, reusable water bottle, and your travel documents. For clothes, always pack clothes that you can layer and adjust according to the weather. For more in depth info about what clothes to pack, check out our packing list.

Is an Escorted Tour or All-Inclusive vacation right for me?

Many travelers prefer guided tours for their all-inclusive experience and ease while visiting a foreign country. Australia is an English-speaking country and the works in a similar denomination to the U.S. dollar, so traveling throughout the country doesn’t have as many barriers as other foreign countries.

However, an Australia escorted tour can help you orient yourself in each destination with a professional travel guide to lead the way. Every experience is contextualized with commentary and history, giving you profound insight into your destination.

Travelers who like to travel with like-minded people may also enjoy escorted tours for the collective group experience in a new destination. If you’re curious about whether an escorted tour is right for you, our About Australia Travel Advisors are at hand to help you explore your options.

Who can go on an Escorted Australia Tour?

Escorted Australia tours are great for seniors and older folks who may need a little extra assistance but are ready to embark on a new adventure.

Solo travelers and singles may also consider small group Australia tours to join in the camaraderie of a group. Joining a group trip is the perfect way to meet new friends and all types of travelers!

How much do escorted tour packages cost?

The cost of an escorted tour typically starts in the range of $5,000 – $9,000 per person, which includes the costs of a personal guide throughout the whole trip, all hotels, day tours, and most meals.

The price also depends on how long you’re staying, how many destinations you’re visiting and the class of service you want (3-star, 4-star, 5-star).

Tips for picking the right Australia tour packages for you

1. Determine your top interests

When selecting an Australia all-inclusive package, consider what you like to do on vacation. Are you looking for adventure, relaxation, or cultural experiences? How about culinary delights or wine tastings? Take your top interests and read through different itineraries to see if those vacation packages include the experiences you’re looking for. To make it even easier, connect with our About Australia Travel Advisors for a consultation where we can find the perfect tour for you.

2. Read Reviews

Before booking, it’s wise to read reviews from previous travelers. You can read reviews from our own clients who have trusted us to plan and book their vacation packages here: About Australia Reviews.

3. Check the fine print

Always review what is included in your inclusive vacation package. Some deals may appear enticing at first glance but lack essential components, like international flights or food and drink packages. We always verify what’s included in your tour and disclose if there are any additional fees for certain activities or meals. We include this information on all of our online Australia vacation packages, group tours, and in your personal inclusive vacation quote.
