Happy customers
Hear what our satisfied customers have to say.
I have just returned from my first trip with Aurora to Tasmania. It’s made me want to do more trips with you. It was an amazing trip thanks to Rog and Ali who were the perfect team, and looked after our every need. The accommodation and food were excellent, we covered so much and experienced many interesting things. What I would like to enquire about is when will your 2026 brochure by available. I’m planning on booking in a few.
Just a note to thank you and your team for a most enjoyable tour to Longreach and Winton last week, It was great to have Max see us through Sydney and the onward connection from Brisbane to Longreach, and from there being met by Rog and Ali who certainly went above and beyond for the duration of the tour. I am extremely grateful for the care and consideration extended to my brother Patrick Tonner ..from wheelchair assistance Qantas both boarding/disembarking aircraft and also for the wheelchair at the Qantas museum Longreach. I now look forward very much to my travel Broome to Perth in August, again with Rog and Ali, and the coach with such amazing leg room. The Longreach tour was my first with Aurora, and I certainly will be looking at future tours as and when they arise.
Just back from my 2nd Coach trip with Rog and Ali. There are not enough superlatives to describe the experience to the Flinders Ranges. It was a geography/geology university course in 5 days!! So much information. I am still in awe of your change of plan to fly to Birdsville for lunch. Never did I think that I would go there and see the floods. the land etc. The adrenaline is still pumping. The whole tour was so well put together. .it is your attention to detail that puts your tours above the rest. Congratulations to all

A very belated thank you to the three of you for organising and running such a great tour for us all to enjoy. Having not been brought up in Australia my knowledge of its geography was pretty much nil, so it came as a great surprise to me to realise not only how vast SA is, but also how dry, arid and relatively flat it was. A great deal of that was due to all the flights without which we wouldn’t have had such a broad understanding of the state from south to north. Your hard research and work to set it all up for us gave us such a gamut of experiences allowing us to take in all the history, landforms and living conditions. I thought the Kimberley area to Darwin was huge, but it was nothing compared to SA! Thank you especially Scott and Max for making each day on ‘the coal face’ so seamless for us. I know that a lot happens behind the scenes from all three of you for that the happen and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. We had a great tour group and the benefit of it being so small is that we all got to know each other and find things in common. Thank you each again for your part in making our tour so memorable and congratulations on creating such a successful business tailored for us ‘oldies’ to enjoy travelling around Australia. Looking forward to Perth-Broome in 2025.
Kindest regards

I am writing on behalf of Sandra and myself to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our recent tour to Tasmania with your company Aurora. We really appreciated that you were there to greet us at airport and ensure all passengers arrived at the departure gate. Likewise when we returned we were looked after so well. The personal touch you include is amazing. Looking after everyone involved so well. I loved being immersed in the natural bush and landscape, beautiful views from Tamar Resort. The little bit of Switzerland at Grindelwald, Freycinet, Beaconsfield – the guided tour very good. The group was very inclusive of everyone, largely due to the way Ali and Rog mixed with everyone at meals etc. That same personal touch is true of the wonderful crew on our coach. Ali and Rog were wonderful hosts and worked so hard ensuring the comfort of us all. They were very obliging, ( particularly considering my mobility issues) entertaining and personable. Also the coach was extremely comfortable. Continue what you are doing so well Scott and Holly.

Hi Scott, Holly and Warwick, I just wanted to say how great the coach trip to Norfolk Island 23rd – 30th March was. Warwick was the perfect leader, so attentive and caring. We saw so many wonderful parts of this picturesque island and heard lots of stories from the locals about their rich history. We had good accommodation, lots of fun and were blessed with perfect warm weather which helped to make it a very memorable experience. Thanks to all at Aurora

The Outback Queensland trip was my first travel experience in a coach group so I have nothing to compare it with in a way, but I found it excellent in so many ways. Rog and Ali were so welcoming, friendly, helpful, efficient and a lot of fun. The way things were organised was so efficient without being officious. The design of the whole trip provided such a variety of experiences, which gave an insight into the way life pans out in the outback, which was one of the things I was hoping for. The inclusion of lots of visits to museums and historical places I found especially enjoyable: one thing that appealed was the variety. Walking into a dozen museum buildings would have become boring, but the inclusion of talks in some places, some being outside venues etc. avoided ANY boredom! The sharing of bush poetry in a few settings, and the ways that was done, especially Angie at the Thompson River sharing through her own experiences, were one of the key things in giving me insight into the life in outback Queensland via enjoyable experiences. I loved all of it but I have to give a special mention to the stage coach ride! Fantastic. Thanks for the way you get things done in Aurora.

John & I would like to thank you for looking after us so well. It was a great trip and we saw so many glorious areas. Loved all the crocodiles and the boat trips. We very much look forward to travelling with you again.

Thank you very much for a lovely Great Ocean Road & Kangaroo Island Trip. Your attention to detail and concern for our wellbeing was just wonderful.
Wyoming
Once again it is time to thank you both so much for a really wonderful tour. The company has been great & I have enjoyed every minute of it. As usual you took us to some incredible places that I would never have seen otherwise. I am looking forward now to the King & Flinders Island tour in March.
Erina
I recently had the pleasure of joining you on the “Great Ocean Road & Kangaroo Island” tour. It was excellent! As an oldie- 85 yrs! I’d like you to know that I could not have asked for anything more. I feel that the tour was so well planned & executed and for that, I have both of you to thank. Keep up the good work and the very best to you and your company.
Cherrybrook
WOW! Not only have I just had an overseas holiday without leaving Australia – a 13 day tour of Tasmania, but it’s been the best ever coach tour. Your fabulous coach, great itinerary, attention to detail – the best accomodation, morning teas, meals, Scotts amazing driving and enthusiasm for giving so much information, and Holly’s incredible skills (plus driving the coach when Scott came with the tour group) made it very special. I can’t thank you enough for an unforgettable holiday. Looking forward to travelling with you again in the near future.
Morisset
You are one in a Million!!! A fantastic couple. Thank you so much for all your care & help with King. God bless you both.
Cromer
Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday to the Gold Coast & Hinterland. I had a great time and enjoyed every minute thanks to Warwick’s excellent driving and good humour and Nina’s kind and considerate ways. The planning of the holiday, the accommodation, food and the very comfortable coach was excellent. Thank you very much.
Erina
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You guys are amazing and Keith,Kim & Kylie (me) cannot thank you enough for the inclusion, welcoming and accommodating of the three of us. Just so we could catch up and spend precious time with one of your guests. My Aunty Barb, my 80 year old dads sister. The time and activities that we managed to do together during her tour was fantastic. We appreciate your cooperation in making this happen. When my dad said I’m going to meet my sister in Longreach… I said “Dad that’s a long way from Townsville. And he said “She’s coming from Sydney, that’s further”. I said, “well let’s try. Kim and I’ll take you.” Best decision ever. We booked and arranged times and when it didn’t quite work out, Scott and Holly fixed it. Going above and beyond just caring for their own tour group. I highly recommend both Holly and Scott from Aurora Tours when you are ready for your next Holiday.
Townsville
A quick note to say thank you for all the hard work you both put in to make our recent tour of the Kimberley a holiday we will never forget. The ever changing scenery was breathtaking, changing colours under different light conditions and offering something different as we travelled through the countryside. Scott your knowledge of the country added to our experience. The bus was extremely roomy and comfortable and never having to handle our luggage was beyond the service we ever expected. Congratulations on the way the two of you handled the ever changing Covid regulations and despite our unanticipated lockdown in Kununurra you both managed to change our schedule so nothing was missed. We will definitely recommend Aurora to our friends and will be travelling with you again soon.
We wish to sincerely thank you for the care & consideration shown to all those in your care on the “Hervey Bay “tour. The respect & care shown to your senior clients is a credit to how you run your company. We hope to travel with you again.
Erina
We have had a wonderful holiday. Seen so many places and things. Enjoyed making new friends. Realising what a beautiful and large country we live in. Hope to join you on another great escape in the not too distant future.

I have recently come back from a tour with Aurora Coach tours in the Flinders Ranges. It was a fantastic experience, seeing first-hand the magnificent mountain scenery and Lake Eyre with water in it. Aurora did a magnificent job; we had a small congenial group and Scott and Rog were great group leaders. I know Holly worked hard in the background in arranging what was a fascinating itinerary. The standout feature was the personal touches that Scott and Rog gave and the fact we were able to see interesting places and people that the larger tour operators would not bother to do. Another plus was the innovative ideas such as light aircraft charter allowing us to see the countryside and Laker Eyre up close from the air. Well done guys!
I am slowly adjusting to not seeing you both each day! May I say a very warm thank you for making the Outback Queensland tour so enjoyable and memorable. The “highlights “you organised were outstanding and something that, I believe, cannot be experienced to the same degree when one travels as an individual. Best wishes for your short break and then a successful touring season.
North Turramurra
I want to thank you for a most incredible holiday in Tasmania. The accommodation, food and itinerary and diverse scenery was excellent and unforgettable. Your professional and personal skills will further enhance (if possible) the awesome reputation of Aurora Coach Tours that travellers know and respect. Best wishes for your future tours, I look forward to travelling with you soon.
Wyoming
Once again, many thanks for giving us such a lovely holiday in Melbourne. You are both so caring & attentive to everyone’s demands & nothing is a problem for you We think you are wonderful. We look forward to coming with you to Tasmania later this year it is always a pleasure being with both of you. Till then, with our appreciation & thanks.
Erina
Allan & I want to tell you how much we enjoyed our Kimberley adventure. I want to thank you both again so much for an absolutely fabulous experience. We loved every minute of it. You both know how to add that little bit extra to everything we do, so that every day becomes special and different and you always make us feel so cared for! Thank you thank you Aurora! Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Wyoming
My elderly parents Joan & Walter, recently went on your Adelaide tour and I just wanted to thank you so much. They had a wonderful time and were so well looked after and enjoyed the tour and your care to detail. You have enriched their life and they shall be looking forward to their next trip with you. Thank you so much for all your care.
Kincumber
I’ve just returned from the most amazing tour to South Australia – the Flinders Ranges and Lake Eyre. Holly you have excelled this time with the most amazing itinerary. As usual, great accommodation and food, with extra specials thrown in. It was fantastic to see Scott and Rog bouncing off each other, and it was obvious they were excited at doing this new tour together in the new coach. Three days flying with Arid Air from Marree was awesome and extra special to see so much water in Lake Eyre flowing in from the Warburton river and Cooper Creek. Looking forward to my next trip. Thanks for the new name Rog!
Janner
Keith and I would like you to know how much we enjoyed our trip with you to Alice Springs & Ayers Rock. We had planned to go there many years ago but somehow put it off. Alas I would like to thank you both for the assistance you gave to Keith I greatly appreciated it. We hope we have the opportunity to travel with you again before too long.
Waitara
After such a wonderful trip, I feel compelled to write to thank you both. It was the holiday of a life time for me probably my “last hurrah” I’m not surprised your business is going so well as you are two beautiful people kind & caring & very efficient. It will be a pleasure to recommend you.
Marsfield
We want to give you a big “THANK YOU” for the most magical trip we have had. We have told all our friends and be sure you will see us again.
