GotoBus Expands Online Travel Service to Include Australia Sightseeing Tours

June 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Cambridge, MA- GotoBus.com, the leading online ticketing company for intercity bus travel and bus tours, has recently expanded its services to include Australia sightseeing tours. The company now offers over 100 sightseeing tours and activities in nine cities: Adelaide, Alice Springs, Darwin, Gold Coast, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. Throughout the company’s history, GotoBus has continually diversified its product lines to meet the needs of its growing customer base.

GotoBus is pleased to offer its customers unique touristic experiences—like cuddling a koala, exploring the Cadbury Chocolate Factory, or experiencing close encounters with jumping crocodiles along the Adelaide River!
