What travellers have to say about our tours

A special thanks for a truly inspiring journey. I am in awe of the detailed organisation in the portage of equipment, supply and food preparation. Accommodation was great as were the many side attractions en-route to feature the trip. A very versatile team of gals with a great sense of humor and efficiency. The sharing of your knowledge was much appreciated. A super package! Thank you for a memorable holiday Lucy and Ken Lucy and Ken

Your Murray River Cruise was one of the best holidays I, my husband and five of our kiwi friends have ever had. Flick and Marion were the best hostess ever. Nothing was a bother for them. Their knowledge of the area was amazing and boy oh boy the food on board was to die for. Thankyou girls for the experience. Hope to meet up again soon.

Hi everyone at Australian Iconic Tours. We’ve just come back from our Lake Eyre tour and we had a wonderful time under the magnificent leadership of Mandy who smoothed the way, fed us, answered our questions about plants, wildlife and the amazing terrain that we were seeing as well as entertaining us with her bubbly personality and energy. The tour exceeded our expectations and we ant to thank you all so much. Karen and Carmel

What a fabulous time we had on the Kangaroo Island trip in March. Lots of memorable sights and experiences, good company, great tour leading by Flick, and superb food prepared by Flick! The highlight would be staying in the cottages on the edge of Flinders Chase National Park….superb views of the ocean to wake up to in the morning and enjoy in the evening. Kerry

What a fantastic trip to The Flinders Ranges we did last Oct 2017. Flick provided us with interesting commentaries along the way, whipped up lunches and one evening a home cooked meal under the stars complete with tablecloth. The accommodation was top rate especially at Arkaroola and Wilpena Pound. My favourite experience was the Ridgetop Tour which is included in the cost. Our guides knowledge of the geological formations of the Ranges was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this trip, our host Flick was fabulous and nothing too much trouble including ice creams at Woolshed Flat the halfway point on the Pichi Richi Railway train. All the best for the future. Cheers Chris C Chris, Perth

Hi Flick and Diana. As we leave Adelaide behind us today and head south east we wanted to thank you for your fantastic exposure of the outback of South Australia: for your friendliness, your acceptance of all types of people, your outgoing personality and happy laughter! We, as a group, started out all in our own little boxes but, within a very short time, we were all in one box together absorbing the wealth of your knowledge of the inland and it’s people – thank you Flick for your efforts. The itinerary with its punctuality, the tremendously healthy food and the wonderful pre-arranged accommodation all made up for a trip worthwhile travelling overland for almost 2000km’s to join. Thanks so much Glenice and Bob Glenice and Bob, Qld

Hi Flick, Diana and Marian. Thank you so much for the photos, glad to hear Rosy is doing well.We had a wonderful tour with all of you. We have been singing your praises and hope to do another tour with you at some stage. It is difficult to select a highlight as it is all so amazing, but would have to say Horizontal Falls, helicopter Flight and Ord River would top the list. We cannot omit the wonderful hospitality and great lunches, along with all the little extras. Thank you

Loved every minute of our 5 day tour with Flick and Rita! These guys are such fun, and couldn’t do enough for us. All our attraction visits were great! We loved seeing the opal mine in Coober Pedy, and staying at the William Creek Hotel grounds including flying over Lake Eyre and the Painted Hills! This was such good value, and we would love to tour with Australian Iconic Tours again! They even give you ‘Frequent Flick Points’ on your next tour! Do yourself a favour and give these guys a go!

To Flick and Team at Australian Iconic Tours. How can we thank you enough, everything was so professionally handled from booking to pick up… and then the tour… every day a new high a new surprise, a new treat. What a bunch of experiences we have had, totally memorable. These memories will keep us hankering for another trip with you. Thank you Lee. Lee, NSW

Oh how I enjoyed the Great ocean road trip you and Diana organised for us- TRULY FABULOUS! The six days were so well organised, I loved every minute of it. You managed to give us a wide variety of what the areas we passed through had to offer. The food was delicious and varied and after each meal I thought I would never eat again!! I did.. Again, many thanks to you Flick and Diana, for a wonderful trip. Keep happy and well Joan. Joan, Perth

Just got back from an eight day trip to the Eyre Peninsula with Australian Iconic Tours and am so happy with the service. It is good to see that a small company can organise such a variety of sightseeing, interesting people to meet and great food that really is value for money. This is the second time I have traveled with Australian Iconic Tours and would not hesitate to recommend touring with this company for anyone who wants a good holiday with a friendly personalised service. Robert, Melbourne

13 New Zealand ladies had the most amazing trip of Tasmania, organised by Diana & Flick with Flick as our guide and driver. Flick went out of her way to ensure that we had a fantastic experience. We all agreed that we would love to do another trip with Australian Iconic Tours. Cookjan, New Zealand

We have just completed a 10 day Family expedition to Kangaroo island. They totally made our trip exciting and made us feel all welcome. We had kids as young as 7yrs old to the oldest Adult 65+. Full of knowledge and helpful for all of us. Great company.
We are now organising our 3rd Family Trip with Australian Iconic Tours. Even my Daughter who is 10 wants to go on tour everyday with them if she had the chance. Well done keep it up. We truly Recommend you to book a tour. Well worth it. Matt S

We really enjoyed our trip to Lake Eyre with you -a real experience, lovely people, good cooking – let alone the excellent bus driving and outstanding tour guiding. As promised I will be wearing the Tshirt throughout the country music festival in Tamworth in January. Kind regards Bernie and Wendy. Bernie and Wendy, NSW

I joined the team in Adelaide for the outback Tour culminating for me in Alice Springs. This was my first time on an organised tour and I cannot speak too highly of the organisation and the friendliness of Flick and Diane. I had a wonderful time in good company. Many laughs and wonderful sights. I am eagerly looking forward to my next trip with Australian Iconic Tours to the Flinders Ranges . I agree with Anne T highly recommended for singles. Maureen, New Zealand

Hi Flick and Diana, Thanks so much for the wonderful photos, they are much better than mine! What a huge number of kilometres you covered Flick! The trip highlighted to me once again what a big land we live in and most of which many people never see. Thanks again to you and your team for your excellent organisation, delicious healthy food, delightful company and the variety of activities in our trip itinerary. Must complement you on the impeccable weather too! I love the concept of the small group tour and would never even consider a 50 passenger tour again! It was great to get to know well our small group of like-minded travellers. Will look forward to seeing you again in the future. I am recommending Australian Iconic Tours to all my friends. Many thanks, Jenny

Hello Flick, Rita and Diana, Wow. What a fabulous adventure it was. I have not been able to choose my favourite place – they were all so good! I have raved about my trip to many, and have sung your praises. I hope Australian Iconic Tours will benefit! Thanks for the photos – they are a great reminder of such good times. Also, huge thanks for a job so well done. I am very grateful I was able to join the group to the Kimberley. I’ll see you when I’m looking at you!! Sue O

Last week I returned from seven wonderful days on the Australian Iconic Tours Murray River Cruise with 9 friends. Diana from Australian Iconic Tours was so helpful and obliging with the planning beforehand and all arrangements went very smoothly. During the week Flick and Marion navigated the river very professionally and organised activities to keep us as busy as we wanted to be …..canoeing, fishing, walks, visiting tourist attractions and joining us for playing cards. We enjoyed delicious gourmet food and wines cooked and chosen by Flick and special attention was given to all dietary requirements. Both Marion and Flick looked after our every need as well as being wonderful travelling companions. I had a great time and would recommend this cruise wholeheartedly. #smiles Lainie1746, Brisbane

Just a short note to say thank you for a truly memorable experience that we had on our Lake Eyre tour. The effort that you put into organising and running this tour ensured that everything went smoothly, we were fed well, saw great country and travelled in relative comfort on some pretty rough roads. We also had a good group of people. This was our first experience of a group tour and we really enjoyed it. We will have no hesitation in recommending Australian Iconic Tours to anyone we think may be interested in the tours that you do. We will certainly look at travelling with you again sometime in the future. Alan and Leonie

We have just returned with a group of 15 from a guided trip in the Flinders. I noticed that all the reviews are very positive and it is all true. Flick is an amazing guide..She very aware of the pacing each day and is flexible with weather and interests. I also note that all the reviews are written by Australians. We were the odd couple out being Canadians. We couldn’t have been more welcomed and we all had a lot of fun. Even though it poured on us on the Akaroola Ridge top tour it just added to the drama of the tour. We did do the Wilpena Pound optional flight which we would recommend. Some of the meals were provided by Flick and they were delicious. This trip will appeal to those who want to be informed about the histroy and have some chance to experience the countryside. The meals were good and the accommodation comfortable. Train buffs will like this tour. Thanks Flick. This will be one of the highlights of our 2 months travelling around Australia. Barb and Ken, Canada

Hi Flick and ladies!!! The Lake Eyre trip was our first ever bus tour and from pick up to set down in Adelaide, it was five days of good company, good food(catering very good) and as everyone on the bus got on well there was a lot of laughing going on. Loved the outback, Angorichina Village was a pleasant surprise in the middle of nowhere and the iconic towns like Blinman and Marree where delightful.The Lake Eyre fly over on a sunny morning was awesome. The trip was one of the best holidays we have had. What can we say about our tour guide, driver, caterer, counsellor, diplomat not to mention DIY expert??? You are a star. Shine on! Joan and Ron, Melbourne

Dear Diana and Flick. Thank you so much for a wonderful tour. I certainly enjoyed every minute of it, the different accommodation, the 4 wheel drive in Arkaroola, the plane trips and the food. We certainly did not go hungry even to the last day. It really has been a memorable trip and I have plenty of great photos to prove it. I won’t have any hesitation in recommending your company. All the best Jean. Jean, Perth

I have travelled with Australian Iconic Tours FIVE times , and each trip has been a fabulous experience. Mostly I travelled with my sister, once with my daughter and once with a young friend. Each time my companions also greatly enjoyed the trips and thanked me for their great holiday. Who would travel 5 X , if they did not have a wonderful time with delicious fresh food ? and very good value for their money ? Wonderful Experience, Ursula Ursula, Bellingen

Dear Flick and Diana, Thank you both so very much for a great trip through your part of our lovely country. It was wonderful to see the lovely country side… it is so different to where we live here on the East coast. The pretty Flinders Ranges and the vast flat desert plains, Lake Eyre, although without water, the colours of the salt and the green all around it were I sight to see and then the underground experience in Coober Pedy! What more can I say. Your attention to detail, the wonderful food, your friendliness and all the unexpected extras made the tour absolutely fantastic. I hope you celebrated your birthday in style Flick, and feel sure you would of enjoyed yourself. I will happily recommend you and your tours to anyone I meet. Once again a very big THANK YOU for making our trip so enjoyable. Kind regards Pam Pam, Gold Coast

Just completed an excellent trip to Tasmania. This was my second trip with Australian Iconic Tours and hopefully it will not be the last. Tasmania is beautiful and so varied – the attention to detail to ensure our enjoyment and comfort is outstanding and the research and pre-planning makes it all seem effortless – despite the hard work and long hours that Flick and I am sure Diana put in. thanks ladies – another great experience. Jadeleaf, Perth

Very well organised and operated. We had nothing to complain about with this tour. The contact before the tour was excellent and everything on tour was great. The idea of breakfast boxes for each booking was a good idea and contained everything you needed for a continental breakfast and more. We had good meals in the evening at restaurants or hotels and lunch along the way. When the roads were closed our tour operator immediately booked flights into and out of William Creek. Other operators were not so quick.We had a great time and will be looking at other tours with Australian Iconic Tours. Lyndall201520, Bethania

The 7 day trip to Arkaroola was fantastic. Loved the ruggedness of the Flinders Ranges and the stay in Arkaroola village for 4 nights was so peaceful. Ridge top tour and walks so enjoyable, Flick cooked us beaut meals and our group of just 5 got on really well and we got to ride in Bette, Flicks 4WD 7 seater! Great organisation and itineraries from this small company. Will go on another trip with them for sure. Buitraveller, Sydney

Right from our pre-tour conversations/emails, the professionalism and proficiency of those behind Australian Iconic Tours became very evident. We did the Lake Eyre tour and the small group size was an advantage in all becoming very quickly known. The tour was extremely well organised, coordinated and executed. Flick particularly ensured the individual needs were recognised and addressed – qualities not always evident in today’s world. Just when we thought we had seen it all, Flick would spring another exhilarating surprise location and this occurred on a daily basis. All of the accommodation was comfortable and the meals were well balanced, plentiful and nutritious. Daily driving times were calculated to maximise time at the various sites and daylight arrival at the accommodation venue. The included flight over Lake Eyre was a highlight. Flick and Mandy exhibited an outstanding knowledge of local history and culture, this attribute significantly contributed to our enjoyment of the tour. Through her leadership and example, Flick maintained the groups high spirit: there were numerous incidents of laughter. We very highly recommend Australian Iconic Tours and we thank Flick, Diana and Mandy for a fantastic experience, very much appreciated. John and Denise, Murwllumbah

What can one say! Having recently returned from doing the Darwin to Adelaide trip with Australian Iconic Tours my husband and I have nothing but praise for this company. Flick is a marvel as is I am sure Diana. From the excellent transport to the great meals, nothing was an effort and then to be able to sit back and take in this wonderful country of ours. What a great trip and a great company to do it with. Thoroughly enjoyable! Jenni R, South West Rocks

Follow the footsteps of many happy travellers.
