Original tours

We have designed our own special tours that include the most popular tourist attractions in South East Queensland and several unique places of interest that locals know and the usual tourists don't get the opportunity to see.

    Tours include:
  • Beautiful Mount Cootha Mountain Lookout,
  • Australian lifestyles,
  • Long Pine world's largest Koala Zoo and Australian animal park,
  • Aboriginal rock painting and art work hiking tour,
  • Wild kangaroo finding tour,
  • Brisbane city sights tour,
  • Brisbane night spots tour,
  • The beautiful Gold Coast beach to the wonderful world heritage rain forest (including Glow Worm viewing) plus optional tour days.
  • Shopping
  • Your choice of theme parks

Safest home stay!

Our home stay families are selected from among our carefully screened families in a safe middle class area surrounding our Brisbane home/office. We are in constant contact with the home stay families and know their houses well.

Fantastic for English students!

  • All our tour guides are experienced English teachers who have worked in Japan for several years.
  • Our customers study English in a natural way and as they tour they learn.
  • Customised English lessons that can be learned and then practised in real situations throughout the tour.

Best Points!

  • Aussie English teacher tour guides (all have lived in Japan)
  • Incredible value for money
  • Flexible tours (we can change and add things to suit your interests: tennis, golf, social dance, museums, horse riding and so on)
  • Support staff
  • Meet Aussie people
  • All ages ok: seniors to parent/child.

What to expect

Each day your tour guide will pick you up from your home stay house and take you on a day full of tours, English practice and other fun activities. Most evenings will be spent with a home stay family enjoying Aussie family life, food and culture.

A more flexible and more casual tour, we can adjust tours to your needs, hobbies interests for example if you want to visit a sports club, a school, a certain type of business we'll try an arrange it for you.

English lessons

Our English lessons have been specially made for practical use in Australia and on our tours. We teach you useful natural English that you can use in your home stay, while shopping, using transport, visiting tourist attractions and so on.

Our lessons prepare you for the days tours for example before doing the Aboriginal cultural tours the lesson is about Aboriginal Australians and the vocabulary you will need to use during the day. These lessons make sure you get the most out of your time in Australia. Tour guides are all experienced teachers so as you enjoy our tours you will be learning English all day.

Price

The standard tour starts from $1,399.00 depending on extras and options. Also depending on numbers of reservations and the season we can adjust the length of tours to suit your own preferences.
