An escorted tour offers a smooth travel experience through Australia. It is often carried out by coach, and depending on the distance between destinations, domestic flights may be undertaken. Touring Australia's popular tourist destinations on an escorted motorcoach tour is a great idea for a number of reasons.
1. Driving on your own can be challenging for some travellers.
If you're a solo traveller and unfamiliar with left-hand driving, adjusting to driving on Aussie roads can take a while. You're likely to experience challenges driving 4WDs in the Outback. Motorcoach tours can be a good alternative as they allow you to explore the country in a relaxed way.
2. You pass scenic routes.
Many motorcoach tours of Australia take scenic routes, enhancing your travel experience. For example, the Great Ocean Road is a popular route for motorcoach tours. An escorted tour of the Kimberly region offers stunning coastline views. Sydney to Darwin showcases the natural beauty of the country on your journey.
3. Australia's road network is well-connected.
Australia's vast network of highways and roads connects all major cities and regional areas. This allows motorcoach tours to cover a wide range of destinations across the country.
4. An opportunity to enjoy shared experiences with like-minded people.
On an escorted group tour, you're travelling with people who have similar interests as you. The tour group is usually small, with a limited number of people. The itinerary may be customized to the needs of the group, enhancing the experience of touring the particular destinations.
5. You travel to and discover places effortlessly.
An escorted Australian vacation is led by a travel guide and driver who are intimately familiar with the locales on the itinerary. They safely transport you to your destination, attending to any problems that may arise during the tour. Your tour guide shares information about places that you might be hard-pressed to gather through independent travel over the same period.
6. All-inclusive prices.
A motorcoach tour of Australia is no less expensive than travelling on your own. It may even be cheaper as your provider will have access to discounted group rates on everything from accommodation to museum guides, which help bring down costs. Independent travel can present many challenges, some of which may cost you time and/or money. This risk is low to non-existent for an escorted small group tour.

What do the experts say?
Tasmania is under the radar for many travelers, but it’s great for hikes, natural landscapes and now modern art!
Sydney and Melbourne are a great combination for first-time visitors to Australia, with Brisbane, Adelaide and/or the Outback added in, depending on how much time you have. Returnees should take in Perth, Darwin and the Kakadu National Park area and/or Tasmania if they can, plus spend some time in the cities they loved the first time around
It might sound cliche, but you really can visit year-round. Australia is a big country, so there is always somewhere with amazing weather!
