Nine's four-time TV Week Logie Award-winning Travel Guides is set to jet off its most ambitious, hilarious and eye-opening lap yet around the planet, in a new season premiering Monday, June 22, at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.

Australia’s highest rated travel show will see all our favourites return; the Fren family, Matt and Brett, Kevin and Janetta, Kev, Dorian and Teng, and Karly and Bri.

And for the first time, this season will also welcome fresh Travel Guides, including guest appearances from familiar faces Eliza and Liberty (sisters from The Block), award-winning country music couple Brooke and Adam, and Love Island favourites Callum and Mitch.

Travel Guides 2026 season

The 2026 world tour starts in Chile. From the vibrant, bustling big cities to the snow-capped peaks and icy glaciers of Patagonia, it's an extraordinary journey to the bottom of the world. While Kevin and Janetta sample Chile’s famous wine scene, and the Fren Family get to know the country’s most famous cat, they all get to cruise to an ancient glacier that’s an extraordinary remnant of the last Ice Age.

And that’s just the beginning for our intrepid travellers, as their jetsetting adventures include living out their Lion King dreams on a surprising animal safari in Tanzania, and discovering the many wonders of Indonesia that lie beyond Bali.

Closer to home they’ll discover the laid back beauty of the NSW South Coast, on a road trip that proves a five-star escape can be found right in our own backyard.

From the airlines they fly, to the hotels they bunk down in, and the array of heart pumping activities along the way, our cast’s vastly different perspectives prove time and again that one person’s idea of holiday perfection is another’s idea of total hell! They call it exactly how they see it and rate every adventure out of five stars.

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