Letters from Our Travellers

From Ros

I returned last Saturday from an Aldinga Short Break Christmas in July tour in the Bellingen region. The first Aldinga tour since COVID-19 travel restrictions were eased.

It was a most successful trip, Paul and Barbara had put in place all COVID-19 requirements. We all maintained our distancing, and there was plenty of hand sanitiser too. We where warmly welcomed at all the venues which also adhered to the COVID-19 restrictions. Our small group of 20 all felt safe during the tour.

I highly recommend Aldinga tours, whether for a daytrip, short break or their longer stays. I am looking forward to their next 4 day mystery tour, and the 2021 Tasmanian tour (god willing).

Kind regards, Ros

Hi Folks,

I was on the Mudgee trip, which returned yesterday. It was my first experience with Aldinga, and I wanted to thank you – particularly Paul – for a wonderful time. He looked after us magnificently, and made sure we were all comfortable throughout.
We were very fortunate with the weather – very fortunate!


From Toronto Ladies Probus

Good morning Paul and Barbara
On behalf of Toronto Ladies Probus group I would sincerely wish to say a very big thank you for the trip yesterday to Myall Lakes. I have had many telephone calls this morning to say how they enjoyed every part of the trip yesterday. Again big thank you DN Toronto Ladies Probus.


From Joyce C.

On 5 March I commenced a group tour with Aldinga to Central NSW. The 7-day tour to Parkes, Dubbo and Mudgee was all smooth "sailing" thanks to our excellent driver, Paul, and his most obliging assistant and wife, Barbara.

Anyone choosing to travel with Aldinga may be assured of a worry-free, pleasant journey. And the food was just too tempting to resist.


From Tony T, Queensland

I am an organiser of group tours for retired people and first used Aldinga Tours three years ago to tour the Bright district. We had 47 tourists on tour and everyone expressed their sincere appreciation of the service and attention provided by Paul and Barbara Burgess, the owners of Aldinga Tours. So much so that we have used their services on three further tours in the years since. I am presently planning another tour with them for early next year and possibly another later in the year. I can strongly recommend their services to any individuals or groups who wish an enjoyable and memorable tour within Australia or overseas.


From Kerry and Neil W

Hi Paul,

Neil and I would like to say thank you for a wonderful trip and cruise with Aldinga tours on Monday to see the Vivid Lights. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, you even arranged the perfect weather for us.

On the upper deck it was beautiful sitting with our glass of wine watching the lighting display, our group certainly enjoyed our night out.
The food was delicious and more than enough for all.

It was very relaxing riding in the bus not worried about traffic and finding a car park, thank you again and we will certainly be looking at doing other trips with your company.


From Bob and Val B

Thank you Paul, for yet another great holiday with Aldinga. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the Falling Of The Leaves experience, with spectacular scenery all the way. It is so reassuring to know that once we pay for the trip we can be confident that there will be no nasty surprise extra costs, that everything is covered.  Value for money, your trips are in a league of their own.

We appreciate the effort you put into making sure everyone has as many experiences as can be crammed into the time available. Tintaldra is the sort of small place you could drive through, thinking there is nothing to see or do there and you had organised something really different for the lunch stop there. That is a typical example of why we tell everyone we know about what fun we have had with Aldinga.

We look forward to seeing you on the Vivid trip and the Myall River one, plus hopefully, more holidays in the future.
