Recommendation
Happy customers
Hear what our satisfied customers have to say.
My first ever coach tour and doing it solo.
I have the impression that from now going forward I will be setting a high bench mark. Ali and Rog ensured everyone felt very welcome from the first day.
From careful planning and instructions by Manny, to being pickup and returned to my home. Attended to at Sydney airport and being met at Melbourne we were gathered up and delivered to our new home “Clippy”. Accommodation, meals and sights were all wonderful.
But overall the attention and information Rog gave while taking us around all the sights was great. Ali made sure no one was left behind and encouraged all to fill up our water bottles to stay hydrated each day, which can be easily forgotten when you are busy having fun.
Safe driving by Rog and all the behind the scenes organising by Ali (she thinks we didn’t notice) was a top class.
I would recommend Aurora Coach Tours to anyone. Scott and Holly you have a great team.

From the Taste of Tasmania. An amazing experience! Both Roger and Ally were their usual very friendly selves, always there to assist, very professional as tour guides, and with a comprehensive knowledge and commentary on the places we visited. They make the tour happen!! All visits were highlights, gastronomically and scenically, but I particularly enjoyed the visit to the Maritime Museum of Tasmania. The tour experience is already at a very high standard – keep maintaining that standard!

Hobart & Taste of Tasmania. Rog and Ali go above and beyond. You could not have two better employees. They are excellent at their job and are two very lovely and caring people. Truthfully I enjoyed everything as every day was different and had its merits. Obviously the day on the boat was great and the food just lovely. Great holiday and the fact we stayed in the one place was a bonus. You are doing a great job
Kincumber
This was my first tour with Aurora and, even though I arrived home yesterday afternoon from the Aurora and the Hobart & Gourmet Taste of Tasmania trip. Ali and Rog are gems who couldn’t do enough for everyone in the group. The food was outstanding at Frogmore Creek, The Point Revolving Restaurant and the Landscape Restaurant with the service welcoming and friendly. The farm visit to Tim and Jane Parsons property was most interesting and an eye-opener for me, a real enterprise which deserves every success. Of course the plum plum on the cake was being presented with a group photo as we headed for the airport.
North Turramurra
Taste of Tasmania: An unforgettable experience in good company orchestrated by a great hostess and driver. Prompt and detailed email responses from initial enquiry to tour commencement were much appreciated. Ali and Roger were great. Service with a smile and nothing was too much trouble. A great team who really know what customer service – an almost lost art these days – is all about! The 6 day tours suit us well. We rate the 2 such tours that we have done with Aurora as the best of the 5 tours that we have done so far. The Wild Seafood Expedition stands out because it was so different to anything we have done before. Seeing Ali and Roger help the cruiser staff make sure we were all having a great time added to the unique quality of the experience. I am at a loss to propose any improvements to what I what I consider a perfect short break. It certainly met all my expectations – and more!
