Travel Guides

I hate reality TV but they have nailed this show. On paper it sounds rubbish I.e. send groups of people to different locations to rate the holiday. What makes this show are the people and the situations that the production team put them through. The Fren family are so funny with their self-deprecating humor. Kevin's acerbic wit is comedy gold. Add other groups like the twins who have never gone further than Tamworth in the mix and it all adds up to one of the funniest shows on TV. Take it for what it is, this is not really a travel guide but unscripted comedy with a slice of travel info. Excellent.

If they laugh so much at their own lame jokes it's a waste of an hour, very sad how lame Aussie shows are becoming, apparently the cruder the better to attract the brainless society that will laugh at anything

I'm not Australian, but I wish those who are and who put this programme down could see what genius it is. Five bunches of Aussies sent on a mission each week to report back. They can be in luxury accommodation or living in a tent on a beach, you can depend on a variety of responses and reactions. I can never guess who is going to rave about their week or hate it. It's a good way to relax and enjoy fun tv - something that is becoming rare. Some weeks, it is the group of lads who drive you nuts, other weeks it's the Fren family (I do wonder how they manage their accommodation ?) or perhaps Kevin and Janetta? Noooo..... It's good tv because you see various places and can work out if you'd like to visit by the teams' reactions.

Love most of the teams on this show but Kevin and Janetta are SOOOO boring and try so hard to be snobs. It's so disheartening and hard to watch their behaviour. My husband and I travel a lot and have visited most of the countries featured on the show, and more than once on some occasions having travelled business class and budget too. Wish this couple would show some respect for countries they visit and not be so up themselves. Everyone on the show should appreciate the opportunity they've been given by Travel Guides. Absolutely love Kev, Dorian and Teng, Matt and Brett. Stack and Mel and the Fren family. Just love the show - great job keep it up.

Love the show and the Fren family but Mrs Fren is getting over the top. Her mouth is always open waiting to laugh and laugh she does very loudly. It is just sounding so very fake. Then there is the oh oh from the two women when they see food or drink. Too fake. Tone it down back to spontaneity. The new girls are too much as well. You've lost the spontaneity of the show. It just seems everyone is waiting to give the comedy but it is falling flat. The show has always been a good laugh as well as seeing new places some of which make me want to go visit but maybe some new blood is needed. Good job.
