Does anyone know of any comparable options for Australia? The ABD date I wanted/needed is already in waitlist status for summer 2020, I was on hold for 4 hours today and didn't get it :-( Seems like Thomson and Tauck don't have Australia Family options. Is Nat Geo a good option, or Butterfield? I will have a 9 year old and an 11 year old then, so I don't want something that's too adult... Anything other companies I'm not thinking of? We could also go custom, but we've done that before and I feel like there's more pressure on us to be "on" all the time when we are 1:1 with our guides all day.
You should really try the waitlist first - As Say Hello has already mentioned, some folks drop when they find out they didn't get the EBD; sometimes they also add dates. They have 12 trips that are not adult exclusive - we usually come into these with four or five preferred dates - try a different date if you can't get your first choice. Australia is an amazing country and many parts of this trip are spectacular. Read some of the trip reports on this as well, and don't be shy about using OYO time - plan ahead.
