Book Me Review By ZigZag Whitsundays

Updated 1/1/2025 By Nath J

ZigZag Whitsundays day tour tickets have been sold on Book Me Australia for the last 4 years, so we thought we would give do a Book Me Review for all the customers who want to buy their tickets and all operators who are thinking of joining the bookme.com.au website to sell their tours, activities, restaurants or accommodation packages. So let’s get into it!

Over the last 7 years we have over 1700 reviews on Book Me, over 1400 of these are 5 stars. We are the highest reviewed product on bookme.com.au, so we are more than highly qualified to give you the truth on how Book Me works

One of the most common misconceptions we get over the phone is “the prices are too good to be true”. And yes, I can see why we get told this so often, but to know why the prices are set low, first you need to know that in our industry, the standard commission rate (what we pay travel agents) on an Australian Tour or Activity can range from 20 to 35% of the operator’s ticket price!..

This is not the case with Book Me; their commission is much lower than the industry standard, and they rely on cheaper tickets at a higher turnover. This allows the tour/activity operator to sell their product at a lower price while still getting the same monetary value as the other agents selling them. It is a win for the customer and a win for the activity/tour operator.

Is Book Me a trustworthy way to book tours as a customer?
The simple answer is yes. The operators add their own availability and prices
Over the last year of COVID 19 we have had a massive amount of cancelations, Book Me Australia has issued all our guests full refunds within 48 hours of us requesting them. You can not get better than that in our industry!

Summary From a customer’s perspective, if the tour and activity operators load their own deals and availability and their refund procedures are the best in the industry, then you can not go wrong!

Book Me has tours and activities all over Australia and New Zealand, so if you are looking for a great deal from a trusted source, jump over and check out the deals today!
