Australia Honeymoon Review: Hamilton Island, Sydney, Blue Mountains, Melbourne, Phillip Island, 2-Week Trip

This was the trip of a lifetime! Zicasso’s travel specialist and the travel company were able to curate the perfect honeymoon in Australia, which hit everything we wanted to see in the short time we had. Every single tour operator we were paired with was incredible.

The travel company really places you with the best of the best—we had a great experience with each tour and would not have changed anything. Almost every hotel even recognized it was our honeymoon, which was very special. I could not have imagined a better trip and we highly recommend this travel company!
