Amazing week in Melbourne Australia

I have been waiting for sooo long after the covid-19 pandemic for a trip to Australia and frankly I’ve just had the best intro week in Melbourne.
This gap year package covered so many cool activities into one single week :-) You will get an overview of the city and it’s variety. The team made everything fun and exciting because they’re genuinely happy with their job. Whoever planning a gap year/working holiday Down under should book this package. The Group leader was brilliant too. I’d definitely recommend to anyone!!

Such a unique and amazing way to experience traveling to Australia for the first time!

This tour was so much fun and relaxing at the same time! All the hassle of travel is eliminated so all you have to do is enjoy the people, the places and the experiences. Itinerary was great, lots of free time and the destinations were all amazing. I was able to see and experience so much from sandboarding in massive sand dune to dolphin watching cruise. The people you meet during the intro week become family in a matter of days and you go home having learned so much about different cultures, places, and yourself! Our group leader was so knowledgeable about the country and was so helpful in organizing activities, and making recommendations for places to go for my upcoming adventure along the east coast.
Well worth the money and the experience! Would highly recommend to a friend!

Everything was perfect!

They made sure everything was well organised for the whole group. The group leader was very kind and helpful! The accommodation was good, everything was clean and nice. The transportation was very comfortable. The only thing was trying to decide which extra activities you were going to do after the intro week because all of them sound fun!. The food was also good, you get to see beaches, ocean, koalas, sunsets, big city life, party and a lot more! I met a great bunch of people. There is just so many great moments to choose from, if in doubt - book this trip, you won't regret it! Every moment was beautiful and I wouldn't change it for the world. The team was super helpful through out with sorting bank accounts, finding jobs and onwards travel.

Great way to get started in Australia for working holiday travellers

Not a single complaint about this trip. Going to Australia was a big deal for me, I have always wanted to travel to the land Down under but was also extremely nervous about the trip. The tour leader Sam was an absolute legend with great energy. He was the best guide we could have asked for. This was a once in a lifetime experience and Sam made it the trip of a lifetime. Everything was so well organized, and I met great people from all over the world during the intro week. Especially for me as a single traveller this was the perfect fit. The tour is really good value all in all and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the working holiday visa and find full time paid work up to a year in Sydney or elsewhere in Oz. The employment support from the work and travel experts was very helpful!

Great gap year package for new travellers in Melbourne

The tour has an awesome itinerary to introduce how amazing Melbourne is, the trips cater to everyone with relaxing time on some of Australia’s beautiful places as well as some physical activities. Had a blast all week with new travel buddies but Philip Island has to be the highlight. If you're heading to Oz this is the perfect way to start. The team was awesome and such a great support when I had some personal stuff going on! Also a fantastic way to get all the important things done such as job support for second year visa extension, bank account, TFN and stuff..etc they helped us so much. Tour guide had such a vast knowledge too which helped a ton! I just wish it was longer but it has set me up perfectly for further travels across Australia, I especially can’t wait to see the East coast!

What would you improve about this program?
Nothing really. The tour itinerary and support was thoroughly thought out by the team.

Great gap year tour in Oz

Would definitely recommend this package to everyone who’s planning on coming out to Australia either on visitor visa or working holiday visa (like me), it’s been the best week of my life. Everything organised for you, everything explained and its the best way to meet new friends when you arrive. I met friends for life and had the time of my life. The team in Sydney go out of their way to make sure you have the best week possible. They help out with all your job search, CV, Aussie admin stuff so you have no worries. The activities were awesome and we had a variety of things planned. I particularly enjoyed the night away at Port Stevens. We stayed a night there and went sand boarding which was exciting. Would highly recommend to anyone especially if you are planning on flying out here alone.

What was your funniest moment?
We went for sand-boarding near Port Stephens and the experience was absolutely great.

Melbourne Gap Year package was fabulous

I spent my first week in Melbourne with the group and the experience was absolutely amazing! It far exceed my expectations in every way. The team was super helpful since first the day I arrived in the airport. They organised airport pickup and took me straight to the hostel which was crazily well-located and beautiful. Literally the accommodation closes to everything: supermarket, train station, bars, restaurants, bus stops, bank.
Also, they helped me out with the CV, helped one on one of finding jobs, explained medicare, bank accounts and basically just helped with everything you needed to do to live and work in Australia afterward. Additionally, I made life long friends with the other participants in the group and our awesome group leader. I highly recommend this program to everyone! It was totally worth it.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I got to eat kangaroo meat for the first time in my life xD.

Good experience with great leader

Having read all the reviews, we decided to join this tour. We had such an amazing time on our Vietnam tour and got to see so much of Vietnam during 13days. I can appreciate all that is written in the positive reviews. Service was great from the start. The other people who were going in our group was nice and friendly. They kept their word and that is very important. Much will depend on your allocated guide and we were very fortunate for our tour. Our leader Daniel was a really good tour leader with a humour. We spent a really nice time and learned many things about Vietnamese culture in our time. You get a good amount of time to wander in the stops, but it really is just a 'taster' style tour. I will recommend this tour to all of my friends.

Amazing tour

This tour was so amazing. We especially enjoyed Island Private in Halong Bay, it was beautiful.We were allowed to branch off from the tour and see Vietnam our way and Daniel suggested many places of interest. , our tour leader Daniel made us feel very welcome and gave us a brief but very informative history of Vietnam. Daniel was a fantastic tour leader, very friendly and polite despite the fact that there was very difficult and rude others, he kept his composure and remained gracious. We feel privileged to have had the opportunity to see this beautiful city, sample authentic Vietnamese food and to have met so many lovely people. Thank you again to Daniel and the team behind the Grabatour. We cannot wait to return to Vietnam for next time. highly recommended!

The best 10 days in Vietnam

As a first time traveller I can safely say that the tour has met my greatest expectations and more. The tour leader have been supportive from the moment I arrived in Vietnam to the moment I left. The locations we visited such as Freedom Island and the Golden Bridge were amazing I won't be forgetting them anytime soon. The organised activities were so well structured that for me they have a first effort. I would like to thank Daniel for his crazy attitude, his ability to always be reliable for a night out, and for always making sure everyone was well looked after. I have not got one negative thing to say. Both extremely friendly and helpful. I've made lifelong friends and memories on this tour so I will be booking another trip in Thailand with Grabatour Travel once I am home. Thanks for everything!!
