Aerotravel International is offering this "Great Walks" tour in January 2005. This tour culminates these twenty years of client feed back and mostly our personal knowledge and experiences to offer you a very special vacation. "Great Walks" has the right name although the name implies that this is a hiking [tramping, as they say down under] tour geared generally toward the dedicated hiker. This tour is much more. The hiking or tramping enthusiast will find what their looking for and much more. Their traveling partners, if not as enthusiastic about hiking, will find so many other things to do and see. This tour touches on some of the Great World renowned treks but also puts you in areas to enjoy and see each destination city you visit. Through special designed walks through each city you will cover areas where no other tour would take you. You will learn how to use the transit systems, trains, trolleys, water taxies and of course you will experience plenty of walking as you venture out. You will see museums, art galleries, bridges, beaches, the famous Sydney Opera House, markets, botanical gardens, and so much more.
