Australia’s favourite travellers are back, blazing a trail through the greatest holiday hotspots on the planet, with a new season of the TV Week Logie Award-winning Travel Guides, premiering Monday, April 21, at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now. 

From the bright lights of the sprawling New York City metropolis, to the vast expanse and natural beauty of Kakadu in the Northern Territory, touring Thailand on a budget, breathing the crisp mountain air of the snowy Swiss Alps, to the so-hot-right now Japan and the tropical paradise of Tahiti, no destination is safe as our Travel Guides return in an eighth season of awesome adventures.

Our favourite travel critics are back, with the Fren family, Matt and Brett, Kevin and Janetta, Kev, Dorian and Teng, and Karly and Bri all serving up their uniquely Aussie perspectives on some of the most epic adventures the world has to offer. 

The most spectacular season ever begins in New York, where our Travel Guides take a monster-sized bite of the Big Apple. From the neon playground of Times Square and singalong show tunes in the West Village to taking in the sights of Central Park and the Statue of Liberty, as well as finding the perfect pizza in hipster-heaven Brooklyn and making an emotional visit to the 9/11 memorial, our Guides discover this really is the city that never sleeps. 

Coming from all different walks of life, our Guides continue to test the theory that one traveller’s dream holiday is another’s nightmare, as they check out local customs and cuisine, check into world-class accommodation, and dive into an array of heart-pumping, adrenaline-filled activities, all the while sharing hilarious, unfiltered views on their destination. 

Last year saw our first ever perfect holiday – with all Guides scoring the Cook Islands five out of five stars. Will one of our ten trips in 2025 hit the same lofty heights?

Buckle up and brace for adventure in the biggest season yet. 

Travel Guides is produced by Nine, and narrated again by beloved Aussie comedian Denise Scott.
