Trip Planning FAQs

When should I visit Australia?
The best time to take Australia tours is in spring and autumn, when the climate is pleasant and you could join many outdoor activities. The spring in Australia is from September to November and autumn is from March to May.

If you travel to Australia in summer from December to February, you could choose some beach cities like Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. In winter from June to August, you can enjoy skiing in south of Australia.
Can I use my credit card in Australia?
Yes, credit cards are widely accepted in Australia. But some small shops only accept cash. So please prepare some cash just in case. There are many ATMs in the large cities. It is quite easy to withdraw cash with your credit card from ATMs. But it may be limited in the remote areas. When you go to the small town or national parks during Australia vacation packages, please take enough cash with you.
Do I need to tip in Australia?
It is not customary to tip in Australia. However, if you are satisfied with service offered, the tipping is highly appreciated to the tour guides and drivers. For the restaurant staff and taxi drivers, you could leave the spare change for them as the tip.
Can I drink the tap water in Australia?
Sure, the tap water is safe to drink in Australia, unless there is a notice not to drink. So you can take a refillable water bottle with you instead of buying bottled water.
Can I use my mobile phone during Australia tours?
Yes, please just be sure your global roaming is activated before your tour. Or you can buy a local sim card in Australia. There are three sim card operators - Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. You are advised to buy a Telstra sim card, for it offers the best network coverage in the country.
