My experience in the Newcastle Tourism and visitor information service, my discussions with disgruntled clients and on my own research informs me to require leaving this note that this operator is no longer active and that any outstanding coupons or deals made through third parties should be refunded Good Lucjk ... you have been warned

A week before we were booked... More

Despite over 50 attempts to contact this business via sms, email and phone call - there has... More

Have had a similar experience to others. Purchased Cudo vouchers for wine tour for 11 friends. Tried for 2 weeks to contact Gone Walkabout and they would not answer the phone. Spoke to businesses around their office who indicated that they had stopped trading. Cudo provided an alternate contact number for Gone Walkabout which turned out to be 'Tours R... More

I did a Gone Walkabout Hunter Valley wine tour in December. There was 8 people (4 couples) on the tour and I think it's fair to say none of us thought it was a good tour.

Walkabout Tours - The Cinque Terre Trek Italy Well, what can I say, this trip has been the highlite of my stay in Tuscany. The guides Maurice & Douglas were both very knowledgeable and approachable to answer any questions that you had. Both made the trip enjoyable. Highly recommend this trip Sandra
