Travel Guides reveal their 'top destinations' ever - and exactly how they rate their holidays
The Fren Family from Newcastle say they hadn't travelled much before joining Nine's show The Fren Family
But in the years since joining the series, they've seen plenty of the world's most popular travel destinations, and some spots less visited.
So do they have an all-time favourite? And how exactly do they choose a rating for a holiday?

Speaking to 9Travel, Cathy says they'd been to places like the Gold Coast and Melbourne before joining the show. But have relished the opportunity to explore more of Australia in that time.
Mark's highlight was having their vows renewed by Elvis in Las Vegas. Jono rates their winter holiday in Finland as his best experience on Travel Guides.
Victoria's number one pick is the Cook Islands.
"I thought the Cook Islands was beautiful. It's definitely somewhere we wouldn't [have gone ourselves], but we loved it," she says.
The family gave the destination five stars on the show.

So how do they choose what to give top marks to?
As Victoria points out - rating a holiday is really tricky when there are four people.
"But accommodation always comes into it, and the food," she says. "They've got to have good food there otherwise the rating is going down."
Despite this, Cathy says there is a lot of thought that goes into it.
"When we score it we take it quite seriously. It's not that we just go, 'oh let's give this place five stars'".

"We've all taken time to think about what we've done and we discuss it and argue about it to. About what we think it should be. So many people look at us and say we're a similar family - would that holiday suit us."
Mark agrees: "We have to be honest in our reviews. The good, the bad, and the ugly."
