TV Guide: Travel Guides 2023 on Nine and 9Now

Travel Guides is back to bring viewers more laughs and more scenic destinations for a new season, premiering Wednesday, April 19, at 7.30 pm on Nine and 9Now. 

Each episode will see the Travel Guides pack their bags and set off on a journey full of new experiences and adventures. They share their unfiltered and brutally honest opinions as they encounter the same week-long holiday, which includes activities, different foods, must-see tourist spots, and all sorts of local culture.

The TV Week Logie Award-winning show will feature the return of the show's travel critics: the budget-hunting Fren family from Newcastle, fun-loving Matt and Brett, jetsetters Kevin and Janetta, and best mates Kev, Dorian and Teng.
 
While cowgirl Mel takes time off to be with her baby, twin sister Stack is joined by their younger brother, Josh.

Josh has never been overseas before, and he has packed an extra pair of jocks along with his passport. Like his sisters, Josh is a true-blue country boy who will no doubt struggle with the lingo, the customs and the crowds in foreign lands. But lucky for him, he is just as game as the girls and will give anything a crack.

Mediaweek spoke to Stack and Josh about setting off around the world, and asked how they found travelling with each other.

Stack: Travelling with Josh is definitely different from travelling with Mel. Mel and I have this weird twin bond where we can look at each other or say half of a sentence and the other can finish it off. This is the most time Josh and I have ever spent together, so it’s been awesome getting to know each other’s little quirks better.

Josh: Stack and I travel well together. I think we see eye to eye on most things. We are both laid back and easygoing.

Stack: Yes, we see eye to eye most of the time, except when I’m giving directions or singing – both Josh and Mel seem to struggle with those!

Narrated by Aussie comedian Denise Scott, Travel Guides is produced by Nine.
