Amazing, magical, memorable and…just book it - Bunnik Tours, Egyptian Discovery! 1 Neil and Patricia, QLD, Australia, Oct 2024
We enjoyed every nanosecond of our tour from the moment we were met by Saeed at the airport until he saw us off again after a most memorable tour. Bassem (our guide, very approachable and a knowledgeable Egyptologist) also deserves a special mention for making our tour exceptional.
To choose a highlight is near impossible as the whole tour was probably ...read more one of, if not the best that we’ve ever done. (We’ve visited close to 60 countries over the past ten years). The Nile River Cruise, Dendera Temple Complex, Tombs of the Nobles and the Hot Air Balloon at Sunrise over the Valley of the Kings are noteworthy though and none of the Optional Excursions should be missed!
We were lucky enough that the new Great Egyptian Museum (GEM) opened during our tour and as a special gesture Bassem took us there on the last day of our tour - so special to be able to experience a visit to the largest museum of its kind in the world - thanks Bunnik Tours!
Our accommodation was very conveniently located and well appointed. Staying in the Four Seasons at Alexandria, Steigenberger Nile Palace at Luxor and Mövenpick Resort at Aswan was a real treat!
We added an extra day before and after the tour and it was so worth it – we were able to do an unforgettable privately booked Sunset Camel ride at the Giza Pyramids (what a magical start to our time spent in Egypt) and some other wonderful tours in Cairo with which Saeed very ably assisted.
Only Egypt offers the opportunity to cruise and sail on the Nile, the longest river in the world; visit GEM, the largest museum of its kind on the planet; enter the Step Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara, the earliest known large-scale cut stone construction (built around 2650 BC) and touch the only surviving structure from the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - the Great Pyramid of Giza.
And lastly – thanks Hannah Campbell and Global Journeys (since 2017 we’ve booked 10 tours with great prices quoted) for your promptness and once again fine-tuning our journey by handling extra accommodation, special requirements etc and in the past dealing with unforeseen cancellations and changes due to the Covid Pandemic. We are looking forward to our next Bunnik Tour to Sri Lanka, coming up very soon!

Bunnik's 'Colours of Northern Japan' was an enjoyable experience. We travelled from Tokyo to Sapporo by coach and Shinkansen (bullet train) with 18 other travellers plus Mitchi, our Japanese tour guide who was one of the best. Hotels in all cities were centrally located and comfortable, most near convenience stores and cafes. Breakfasts were always ...read more something to look forward to as were lunches and dinners, mostly Japanese cuisine. ,A dinner cruise around Tokyo Bay and the scenic cruise along Geibikei Gorge were part of the itinerary.
We visited temples, castles, attended a tie- dyeing workshop and painted traditional Kokeshi dolls both of which were a lot of fun.
Most of the hotels in the north had hot springs which were relaxing after a long, busy day travelling. Autumn leaves started appearing as we travelled further north and on the island of Hokkaido they were at their best. A visit to the Sapporo brewery was interesting as was the Sake brewing experience. We travelled with a very cohesive group which always makes it more enjoyable.
We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would certainly recommend an Autumn visit to this part of Japan.

This was my 9th booking with Global Journeys, although two were cancelled due to the pandemic. As usual, my booking request, and questions were answered promptly and professionally. It was such a pleasure to have Hannah Campbell deal with my booking. I have a 10th booking pending and I’m confident that it will be handled with the same efficiency. This ...read more was my 4th booking with Bunnik Tours, as they are exceptional value for money yet still provide that professional and friendly service. They are an Australian family owned and operated business, have exciting itineraries and operate with a maximum group of 20. I have already recommended Global Journeys, and Bunnik Tours to my family and friends for future travel.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Turkey & Greece with Bunnik. Organised perfectly by Georgie as always! We had great tour guides in each country, both enjoying passing on their extensive knowledge. So much history in both countries and the extra tours were enjoyable. The highlight was hot air ballooning in Cappadocia!

Fantastic trip to Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia 2 Loyal Global Journey Travellers, NT, Australia, Aug 2024
The tour was well organised with tons to see, do and learn along the way, particularly given the rich history, geography and culinary experiences available in each country. The special tour inclusions including local cuisine masterclasses and singers/ musicians in unique locations were particularly memorable. Local guides in Azerbaijan and Georgia were ...read more extremely professional and attentive to the groups needs. The local guide in Armenia was also very knowledgeable however could enhance travellers experience even further by proactively sharing practical information with the group well in advance (e.g. how long until next comfort stop).
Overall this was a comprehensive, well-paced, safe, scenic tour with a wide variety of experiences on offer. Each church, mosque, monastery visited also offered a unique experience, often with breathtaking views at each location.
TIPS: Bring good walking shoes, there’s a few challenging landscapes to navigate, but totally worth it! There are many (safe to use) bank machines available in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia to withdraw local currency from including via Australian visa cards. Currency rates are often much better locally than, for example, exchanging AUD cash at Dubai airport. Tour guides also provide opportunities to change local currencies at each land border crossing. In Yerevan, Armenia, you can also change various international currencies at the SAS supermarket (close to Hilton DoubleTree Yerevan City Centre hotel).
@ Global Journeys - Excellent organisation/ facilitation as usual. You are the only travel company we continue to book directly with.

We really enjoyed travelling with a group of 18 Australians. Our tour guide, Alan, was easy to get on with and he was very knowledgeable. The tour itself was interesting and varied. We particularly like the bus tour except our local tours always seemed to end when the shops were closed for siesta. More time to shop would have been wonderful. All ...read more the hotels were close to the centre of town so that made getting around easy. Plitvice Lakes were spectacular.
Had a great (although fairly tiring) few weeks in Turkiye and Greece with a Bunnik tour. As always, Georgie from Global Journeys did a flawless job of organising everything. The flights home she found for us were amazing. 24 hours from Athens airport to home in Canberra! We'll be back in touch with Georgie soon to lock in our next trip. :)
This trip was quite a pacey one. Well organised and filled with lots of interactive activities. The sushi & noodle making classes were most enjoyable together with calligraphy classes, paper making and visits to sumo exhibition, samurai & tea making exhibitions. So much to see and do. The people in Japan are very welcoming and the tour guide was very

Bunnik Small Group Touring
When Marion Bunnik started Bunnik Tours, Australia didn't need another tour company - it needed a better way of touring! In an industry dominated by large multinationals and mass tourism, Bunnik Tours stands alone. Our aim is simple, to provide a better way for Australians to see the world. As a family business we understand that our family's name and reputation is at stake every time we sell a holiday. That's why we're proud to call these tours our own.
Bunnik's maximum group size is just 20, and even less for some tours in Asia & Africa. For us small groups make for a better holiday experience. They are more personal and you spend less time waiting and more time enjoying your holiday. Small groups are better for sustainability too! We get to visit smaller local businesses on our travels and stay in smaller centrally-located properties which are often impractical for large groups.
Return International Flights Included!
For Bunnik, it's all about providing you with flexibility to create your dream holiday which is why they provide both small group tours that include international airfares from Australia as well as land only small group tours. Their airfares have built-in flexibility so you're able to extend your stay, fly in or out of other cities or upgrade your flights to business or first class.
For tours where return international airfares have not been included, chat to our friendly Global Journeys Travel Advisors for the best advice. We have access to some fantastic fares.
From cable cars to camels and Turkish gulets
While smaller groups mean you'll enjoy plenty of space on-board your coach, you can also expect plenty of variety as you explore the world with Bunnik. you'll travel on camels in Egypt, and on traditional boats in the Amazon, Egypt and Turkey.
While in other parts of the world, we Bunnik the most amazing collection of jeeps, old Chevys, cyclos and rickshaws.
Unique Local Experiences
Small group touring is about being shown around by locals and really capturing the essence of the destination. It means seeing the famous attractions but also wandering off the tourist trail. So much more than just a coach tour, you'll experience the culture, meet the locals and savour the wonderful food.
That's why we also include a range of experiences designed to capture the essence of the places we visit. Experiences like enjoying lunch with a local family in a small rural village in Sri Lanka, making Pizza in Sorrento, Italy, travelling by traditional style boats or exploring the deserts of India, Jordan and Morocco by camel!

FAQ's Frequently asked questions for those considering travelling with Bunnik Tours
What is the average age of someone travelling on a Bunnik Tour?
Bunnik group tours have been specifically designed for ‘the not too young and not too old’. There are lots of tour companies out there catering for the younger party crowd or the older traveller, so we like to think of our tours as being for the forgotten age group in between, that’s people aged 45-65. However,...read more we have many people enjoying our tours who are younger than 45 and older than 65. That being said, we also recognise that some travellers may find our itineraries challenging. We therefore require all our passengers to complete a fitness to travel declaration as part of their passenger registration. What are the group sizes?
Group size is important when travelling. When we say small groups we mean it. We limit our group sizes to a maximum of 20 across all our small group tours. Some regions like Africa offer even smaller groups of 12! Small groups mean less time waiting and more time enjoying your holiday. Are Bunnik tours escorted from Australia?
Our international tours are not escorted from Australia. If a tour includes airfares, all travellers will be met on arrival at the airport by a local representative and the tour will begin from there. However, we do organise a limited number of escorted tours each year and these are advertised accordingly. For...read more domestic tours, a representative from Bunnik Tours will join and will meet all travellers at the hotel on the first day of the tour. Are solo travellers welcome on Bunnik tours?
Single travellers are welcome on all our tours and make up a fair number of our passengers. A single supplement is applicable on all single room bookings, this can be viewed on the trip page. To view solo pricing, select the option from the dropdown which sits just above the pricing table. Alternatively your...read more quote from Global Journeys travel advisor will reflect the correct pricing based on the number of travellers you enter when making an enquiry with us. Are children allowed on a Bunnik Tour?
Children aged 14 and over can travel on Bunnik's group tours. What is Bunnik's policy on refunds & credits for cancelled tours?
If your tour is cancelled, we will endeavour to re-accommodate you on an alternate tour departure. In the event this doesn’t suit you, we will provide you with either a travel credit or a refund, excluding any third-party costs. On many of your tours you have a 'tipping made easy' program. How does this work?
In many parts of the world tipping is a customary practice and often makes up a large part of people’s wages so it’s important to get it right. Our 'tipping made easy' program is a simple system that sees us collect tips at time of booking. We then pay these tips to our local staff and they take care of them...read more to ensure that they are evenly distributed. Easy! Please note, on tours where ‘tipping made easy’ operates, it is compulsory that all tour members participate. Are there any tours where tipping is not included?
All group tours include pre-paid tipping. For countries such as Japan where tipping is not customary, pre-paid tipping is not included, nor expected. Independent and extension packages do not include tipping and it is therefore at your discretion to complete locally. Can flights be upgraded to premium economy, business class or first class?
Yes, of course. For tours that already include airfares we will just add a supplement amount to the quote for the upgrade which will be due in addition to and at the same time as the progress payment. Is it possible to book a Bunnik Tour if flights have already been booked or are not required?
Certainly. Even if the tour you're interested in includes airfares, we will also have a 'Land Only' price which excludes the airfares. Please let your Global Journeys travel advisor know when enquiring and we will be able to advise the 'Land Only' price. Why should I take advantage of the airfares included, when there are special airfares available?
Two reasons – firstly, when we have a tour that includes airfares we use special wholesale fares which are generally as competitive if not cheaper than the advertised specials. Secondly, if we book the flights and the tour is cancelled for any reason, we will look after the flights. If we do not book the flights...read more and the tour is cancelled by us, change and/or cancellation fees may be charged by the airlines. Is it possible to use a different airline or make changes to the flight itinerary when a tour includes flight costs?
Yes, of course. We can book any airline, any dates and any itinerary to fit with other travel arrangements. There may be a difference between the fare booked compared to what is included with the tour (if applicable), so a supplement may apply. Please keep in mind that some airlines have shorter holding times...read more so the progress payment may be brought forward to coincide with the deadline provided by the airline. Can seats be booked on the flights?
All airlines have different policies on seating. If you're booking a tour that includes airfares, please ask your Global Journeys travel advisor if the flight booking is eligible to pre-select seating. Some airlines charge a fee for this, which can be done on the airline’s website once the flights have been ticketed....read more How do the airport transfers work with Bunnik?
For all tours, except our short tour range, airport transfers are included within the price of your tour. This also extends to if you complete pre or post nights, when booked through Bunnik Tours & Global Journeys. Can a transfer be booked to/from the railway station instead of the airport?
Yes, however this may incur an extra fee depending on the location of the railway station. Please ask your Global Journeys travel advisor for more details. What type of transport is used on a Bunnik Tour?
Everything from an air-conditioned coach to a rickshaw or a traditional boat! Each tour page will show a list of the transport types used. Please note, as part of our fitness to travel policy, you will need to be able to get on and off various modes of transport without assistance, and in Africa you'll be required...read more to drive along very bumpy roads for extended periods of time. What is Bunnik's baggage allowance?
On tours where airfares are included, generally there will be an allowance of 23 kg checked baggage and 7 kg carry-on, even though some airlines will allow more than this. This is due to the baggage allowances for the buses used on our tours. Some tours will have more restrictive baggage allowances, especially...read more in Africa, so please check with your travel advisor. Please note, as part of our fitness to travel policy you are required to be able to carry your own luggage. Is it possible to start a Bunnik Tour a day or two later or finish a day or two earlier?
In some cases, it is possible, but standard package price will still apply. Please understand that you may be required to make your own way to the start or end point if transfers are not available. Is it possible to do other travel arrangements before or after the tour?
Of course! We offer a range of pre and post tour add on options as well as extensions and stopovers. The options are endless, just ask your your Global Journeys travel advisor at the time of booking. What standard of hotels do you use on your tours?
On our tours we use good quality 3-5 star hotels. Rather than concentrate solely on star ratings and creature comforts, we choose our hotels based on the following criteria: cleanliness, great service, atmosphere and location. If a more luxurious hotel with a higher star rating is preferred, we offer a range...read more of ‘In-Style’ group tours in certain regions. Do the rooms used on tour have coffee and tea facilities?
Some hotels we use on our tours may include tea and coffee facilities in the rooms. In Europe and where possible, we choose our hotel based on location meaning there are generally local cafes and restaurants close by to enjoy a coffee with the locals. To ensure you aren't disappointed though, we suggest packing...read more a travel kettle and some tea/coffee with you. There are three people travelling together, is a Triple Room available?
Due to Bunnik's contracted year-round rates with our ground operators and for the comfort of all guests, we are not able to offer triple share rooms. The best option in this case is to book one twin/double room and a single room. We can then request with our ground operators for interconnecting rooms which will...read more be subject to availability upon check in. Are meals included on tour?
Many meals are included on our tours and these will be specified on the itinerary and are listed in our e-brochure and on our website. We include many meals, but not all of them, so that everyone has the option to sample some local cuisine and experience the local culture. The itinerary says there will be an early start, is breakfast still included that day?
On some Bunnik Tours there may be a few early starts to make the most of the day’s sightseeing. Breakfast is included daily, and the guide will always make sure that the hotel provides a buffet breakfast or breakfast box to takeaway. How much free time will there be on tour?
Bunnik's team of expert Product Specialists plan every itinerary to create the perfect balance between organised sightseeing and free time to explore the local destination. How much money should be budgeted per day while on tour?
This will depend on the destination and personal spending habits. However, AU $50 (or equivalent) per person per day is usually enough to cover additional meals and expenses in Asia, India & Sri Lanka, the Middle East, and South/Central America. For Europe, AU $75 (or equivalent) per person per day should...read more be adequate. Is USD the best currency to travel with?
While a lot of places tend to accept USD as a form of payment, this is not always the best option for many reasons. Generally, the best currency to take is the local currency of the destination/s visited. Most travellers tend to bring a smaller sum of cash with them for incidentals for the first few days and...read more exchange money along the way. What fitness level is required for a Bunnik Tour?
At Bunnik Tours we don’t put specific age limits on our tours, but we also recognise some travellers may find our itineraries challenging. We have a duty of care to all tour participants and our tour guides, so we do impose a firm policy on the level of fitness required by all of our clients to attempt...read more to ensure your safety and the safety of other travellers on our tours. Is travel insurance required?
Yes, all travellers must have adequate travel insurance for all international destinations (domestic is at your discretion). Unfortunately, this is not a choice, it’s compulsory as we’d hate for something to happen and you weren't covered. Do you accept credit card travel insurance?
Bunnik Tours does not recommend the use of credit card travel insurance, but we do accept it. It's important to carefully check the Product Disclosure Statement from the credit card provider for restrictions such as pre-existing medical conditions, minimum spend required to activate the policy and any other items...read more that are important.
