Australia Self-Drive Tour – Sydney to Cairns
We’ve recently put together two Self-Drive tours in Australia for our Chinese travelling clients.
This is not just a straight forward self-drive. We’ve included Chinese meals where the localities permit, site seeing tours and entrance fees, vehicle familiarisation on collection of hire vehicles, airport meet and greet, full vehicle insurance with no extra payments required, and can even supply interpreter/guide inclusion for the self-drive, in their own vehicle for the tour duration as an extra if the service is required.
This is an ideal package for couples, groups, clubs and corporate travellers. We’ve even included pricing for one to eight vehicles (and can extend this further if required) – and even included free places on some of the packages. All you or your clients have got to do is drive!
This tour can easily be changed to suit different nationalities where we can obtain national meals in the various locations, and various national speaking guides when required.
