Who We Are

We didn't build a company.
We built access.

Aussie Grand Tours was founded on a simple belief: that Australia is too extraordinary to be experienced through a catalogue. The best moments here - a private sunrise at Uluru with an Anangu guide, a winemaker pouring a barrel sample in the Barossa, a scenic flight over the Kimberley - those aren't bookable online.

We built the relationships. We know the people. We open those doors for your clients.

We are an Australian-owned and operated destination management company, recognised at the Global Tourism Awards 2025 as Best DMC. We hold ATEC accreditation and are active members of the trade community through the Australian Tourism Exchange, AIME, and India's leading trade shows including SATTE, OTM, IITM, and TTF.

Small enough to care deeply. Connected enough to deliver anything.

Aussie Grand Tours - Australia
Our team -- Australians, first and foremost.
Our Journey

From local passion
to global recognition

Aussie Grand Tours was born from a conviction that Australia's extraordinary landscapes, culture, and people deserved a DMC as exceptional as the destination itself.

What began as a small inbound operation has grown into an award-winning company trusted by trade partners and travellers across India, Asia, the UK, and North America.

Every step of that growth has been guided by the same principle: never compromise on the quality of the experience, never let logistics get in the way of a moment that matters.

What Drives Us

Four things we refuse to compromise on

🌿

Local Depth

Every property, every experience comes from years of on-the-ground relationship building - not a database. We know people, not just places.

Seamless Execution

We plan obsessively so your clients never notice the machinery behind their journey. Every transfer, dinner, check-in - invisible and perfect.

🔑

Genuine Exclusivity

We don't resell what anyone can book online. If we recommend it, it means we have direct access of it - or we've negotiated something special for you.

🛡️

Partner Loyalty

Your clients are your clients. We work under your brand, protect your margins, and never market directly to your customer base. Full stop.

The People

The team behind every journey

Australians by birth or by choice -- we are specialists, not generalists. Every member of our team is an expert in their region and their craft.

Chetan Gupta -- Founder, Aussie Grand Tours

Chetan Gupta, CIS

Founder & Managing Director

With deep expertise in Australia's luxury travel landscape, Chetan built Aussie Grand Tours on the conviction that the country deserves a DMC as extraordinary as its landscapes. An ATEC-accredited operator and Global Tourism Awards 2025 winner, he personally oversees every high-value programme.
