Since 1987, thousands of satisfied clients have traveled with us to the Australian Open. Join us and discover the enchanting lands of New Zealand and Australia while experiencing the Grand Slam excitement of the Australian Open.

Our Australian Open Champion Tour and Champion Tour "Lite" version are both designed for the tennis fan and traveler alike. They both include round trip airfare on award winning Qantas from Los Angeles. It's an exhilirating 13 day journey that begins with a three day stay in New Zealand's spectacular South Island gem, Queenstown. From there, you'll fly to Melbourne, Australia for six nights of unforgettable Grand Slam action at the Australian Open, then lastly on to Sydney, the city often voted as one of the world's top destinations. Throughout this 5 star Australian Open Champion Tour you'll be spoiled with warm hospitality in luxurious accommodations.

The "Lite" version is a little more economical version of the Champion Tour. On the Lite version we feature excellent four star properties rather than five star in Melbourne and Sydney. In Melbourne we offer the Grand Hyatt where most of the players will be staying, and in Sydney we feature the very centrally located luxury Marriott Hotel off Darling Harbour. The other main difference between our Champion Tour and the "Lite" version is your Australian Open tickets are located in the Upper level of Rod Laver Arena as opposed to the Lower Level. (The Upper Level seats offer plenty of nice shade) As anyone knows who's been to the Australian Open before, there really are no bad seats in Rod Laver Arena.
