The Perfect Start to My Australian Adventure – Highly Recommend!

Joining the Melbourne Gap Year tour with Grabatour was the best way to start my working holiday in Australia. From day one, everything was well-organized, and the team made sure we had all the essentials sorted—bank accounts, tax file numbers, SIM cards, and even job support. It took away all the stress of settling in and allowed me to focus on enjoying the experience. The itinerary was a perfect balance of practical help and exciting activities. We explored Melbourne’s vibrant laneways, visited St. Kilda Beach, and got to experience the city’s amazing food and coffee culture. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with anything we needed. One of the best parts of the tour was the people. I met an incredible group of fellow travelers, and the shared experiences made it easy to form friendships. Even after the tour ended, we stayed in touch and continued exploring Australia together. If you’re planning a working holiday in Australia, I highly recommend this tour. It gives you the perfect start, a great group of friends, and the confidence to begin your adventure the right way!

I recently joined the Melbourne Gap Year tour with Grabatour, and it was hands down the perfect way to kick-start my Australian adventure! From the moment I arrived, everything was well-organized, making the transition into a new country smooth and stress-free. The itinerary was a great mix of practical support and fun experiences. The team helped us set up essentials like bank accounts, tax file numbers, and SIM cards, which saved me so much time and hassle. They also provided great advice on job hunting, which gave me a real head start in finding work. Beyond the practical stuff, the city tours were a highlight. We explored Melbourne’s famous laneways, checked out the street art, and visited St. Kilda Beach, all while learning about the city’s culture. There were also plenty of opportunities to socialize, and I met an amazing group of people from all over the world. The support from their local team didn’t stop when the tour ended—they were always there to help with any questions I had. If you’re looking for an exciting, hassle-free way to start your working holiday in Australia, I highly recommend this tour!

I had quite a very revealing moments during my master's studies in public and health promotion in the UK, being my first time of leaving the shore of my country to more organised and advanced society. UK was an eye opener for me and to experience first hand a multicultural society.

Great start to a great adventure!

Life changing experience. A great foundation that I needed to start me off; friends, travelling. You get out of it as much as you put in. Be fearless. Remember everyone on the trip is going through similar emotions. My favourite year of my life.

Absolutely class!! The team did a great job. Really appreciate the help given for finding work and booking travels. Met such a great mix of people, who all make you feel welcome and just had a good laugh during the intro week. Tour guides felt more like friends than guides, and still managed to keep everyone safe, informed and entertained. One of the best times of my life, and worth every penny!!

Having read all the reviews, we decided to join this program for our working holiday in Australia. We had such an amazing time in Melbourne and got to see so much of the city during the intro week. I appreciate all that is written in the positive reviews. Activities were 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. Additionally, they helped us out with all the Aussie admin stuff during the intro week and supported us with farm work opportunities in Queensland since we all wanted to do the 88 days regional work for the second year visa extension. Highly recommended!

It was really amazing with all the help from the team for finding work in Oz! During 8 days we done many activities and they were fantastic and it is something I don’t regret a bit. You felt welcomed from the first day when you arrive in the accommodation (YHA). Our group leader was extremely helpful. Overall I had a great time on this tour!

Booking this paid work package was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I would recommend it to anyone. The week itself is definitely worth the money since we experienced many amazing activities such as wine tasting penguin spotting getaway trip etc.. and all the extra help especially employment help from the team is what makes this tour so unique. Everyone involved goes above and beyond to help support you and make you feel like home. I got my first job Down Under in Northern territory to extend my second year visa thank to the team. Much appreciated!!

Grabatour provided with an amazing itinerary. Flights were well organised, the accommodation was fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay in The Old Quater, boat trip in halong bay, Ninh Binh countryside and our stay on the island. Tour activities and inland transport were all well organised would like to make special mention of Daniel for his absolute enthusiasm and skills in organizing our tour. He was always available to answer our questions from our initial inquiry to planning our tour. Highly recommend and use them again.

Tour was so much fun. Jake was the best tour guide, he was friendly and informative. The activities were great and we had a variety of things planned. I particularly enjoyed the beach party at Koh Phangan. The food could be slightly improved, however overall the experience was great, I’ve met some fantastic people who I’m hoping to go on travel with.

Great support and amazing service

This tour was exceptionally well organised and coordinated. It was packed with fun and interesting things to do and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I’d say Grabatour Travel have a good understanding of what should go into a good tour, ensuring that all the hot spots are covered as well as having a few hidden gems. We covered a lot of ground in 10 days and it was exactly what I needed for someone with limited time off work. Daniel has an incredible attitude to life and people and his banter and energy fuelled our trip. He was always ready to help anyone and no matter how tired, would come out and have fun as well as dealing with all of our problems effortlessly. Thank you.

Great way to see Thailand

The whole tour was well organised to cater for everyone in the group, no-one left out or unhappy. Accommodation always clean with good beds no matter where we stayed. Interesting transport a couple of time but made the experience memorable! My favourite part of this trip would definitely be Khao sok National Park, as it was really enjoyable chilling in the water all day and getting to know everybody. Will miss our Thailand 11 day tour group so much.
