A Wonderful Experience   0 South Australian Eyre Peninsula Escape , WA, Australia, Oct 2025
I have done many bus tours in Australia and this was one of the best. I have also visited SA many times but had not spent a lot of time on the Eyre Peninsula. The, scenery, the places we visited, the experiences from Murphy's Haystack to visiting oyster farms, to having mouth watering food, were simply the best. The accommodation was good, the particular read more stand out was the hotel at Port Lincoln located on the waterfront. Liz our Tour Director was very professional in her management and organisational, along with her enthusiasm for the country side. Anthony the coach driver was as good as they come, there were no uneasy moments. Kings always do a great job. Well done.
Fabulous Kimberley tour 0 Untamed Kimberley , VIC, Australia, Aug 2025
Our Untamed Kimberley tour with AAT Kings was wonderful. Global Journeys made all the arrangements for us and responded quickly to all our enquiries.
Untamed Kimberley and West Coast with AAT Kings 0 Untamed Kimberley & West Coast , FL, United States, Aug 2025
This was an incredible trip, a trip of a lifetime. It was a great time of year to go, leaving Darwin on 12 August 2025. We were lucky to have a very experienced Tour Manager as our guide the whole way. Carolyn was very familiar with the entire area, and knew many of the local guides and hotel managers personally. This was helpful for our optional trips. read more Our coach driver, Macca, was excellent. He washed the coach every day and kept our windows clean for great viewing from the coach. Everyone on this trip got on well with each other and we felt like a big family, helping each other if needed. The accommodations were excellent (even in remote areas), and the food delicious. Group dinners, when provided, were delicious and we could select from a few options for each course. Carolyn also made sure that those with special dietary needs were catered for each day. I was lucky to have Grace as my travel advisor at Global Journeys, and she kept on top of my bookings and transfers. It was a pleasure to work with her. Other travel agencies could not get me the AAT Kings discounts (like being a previous traveler with AAT Kings), so luckily I found Grace and she got them for me!
Great outback adventure 0 Outback Adventure , NSW, Australia, Jun 2025
The tour was organised exceptionally well, I had a fantastic time. Thank you Georgie for all your help, you made it stress free. Loved the trip. A bit rushed. Too many early mornings and long days. Great way to see Central Australia. Coach driver and travel director were great, very knowledgeable. Thanks again Georgie.
Top End Highlights   0 Top End Highlights , Australia, Jun 2025
Both tour guide and driver were great. Tour guide had great knowledge of everywhere we went. We saw amazing country and the billabong cruise was are highlight. The culture experiences were very interesting. The days were packed and a few of the walks were a bit difficult for some on the tour.
Kia Ora. New Zealand.   1 Kia Ora New Zealand , Australia, Mar 2025
I began by consulting various travel agents, and Global Journeys emerged as the most exceptional choice. From the very beginning to the very end, my entire travel experience was flawless. The hotels, coach, coach driver, and tour guide exceeded all my expectations.

Great short break   2 Capital Blooms , NSW, Australia, Sep 2024
Chose this tour specifically for Floriade but was so much more. Our driver/director was marvelous. Really enjoyed this short break to Canberra and surrounds. Great accomodation in great location. Have done a few trips with AAT Kings now and would recommend. Georgie from Global Journeys was helpful as ever.

FAQ's

How many people will be on my AAT Kings holiday?

Depending on the holiday you choose and the time of year you're travelling, our group sizes will vary. Classic Coach Tours will be a maximum of 48 guests; Small Group Tours are up to 24 guest with an average of 16 and Short Breaks will be a maximum of 58 guests. So whichever holiday you choose, there is a great opportunity to mingle and make new friends.

What are my room options as a solo traveller?

Travelling solo with AAT Kings doesn't mean you have to travel alone. On nearly all AAT King's itineraries you can choose to be matched with a same gender traveller and only pay the twin share price. Alternatively, AAT King's offer single room supplements across their tours if you'd prefer to enjoy a room to yourself. Simply choose your tour and select your room preference in the booking process.

Are AAT Kings tours suited to all fitness levels?

With such a diverse range of holidays and tours, we offer sightseeing options to suit everyone. However, some will require a higher fitness level than others. If you are unsure, please check with your Global Journeys Travel Advisor for advice before booking.

What if I have special dietary requirements?

Please advise us of special meal requests at the time of booking, or no later than 14 days prior to departure. Please note that while all effort is made to accommodate special dietary requirements, due to the remote locations visited, these cannot be guaranteed.

What are the coaches like?

On our Guided Holidays, we pride ourselves on having the finest fleet of fuel-efficient, fully air-conditioned coaches, all with reclining seats, seatbelts and restrooms. The high vantage point from your coach’s window means you can take in all the glorious scenery, whether it’s a vast rural landscape or an urban city centre. We also have onboard Wi-Fi.

On AAT Kings short breaks the fleet varies. On the majority of these tours, the experience will be as above, however we sometimes use mini coaches to accommodate smaller groups which do not have a restroom or reclining seats.

How long will we spend on the coach?

Classic coach tours visit multiple destinations and have the most amount of time on the coach. Australia is very big and some itineraries will have long drives to get to your next destination, however we ensure there are stops every couple of hours to take photos or have a rest. Short Breaks visit one or two regions that are close to your starting point. If the time on the road will exceed 2 hours, we will ensure there is a photo or rest stop along the journey.

Will I have free time?

Yes. We want to ensure you get all you want out of your trip. Each itinerary offers the perfect balance of downtime and discoveries. We also give you the opportunity to tailor your trip with Optional Experiences. You might choose to enjoy a scenic flight over the Bungle Bungle Ranges or maybe a cruise to Whitehaven Beach in the heart of the Whitsundays.

If you would like to exclude yourself from an included experience please ensure you speak with your Travel Director, so they are aware of your plans. They will make sure you are aware of any necessary times or meeting points. Please note we cannot provide any compensation or refunds, if you decide to not take part in an included activity or meal.

What are Optional Experiences and when can I book them?

AAT Kings itineraries include plenty of free time for you to explore destinations in your own way. Optional Experiences are a great way to make the most of your time and tailor your trip to your interests. Available Optional Experiences are listed on the trip itinerary. No need to book or prepay, you can do this with your Travel Director on trip and payment can be made by credit card or cash.

Will I travel with people from other countries?

The beauty of taking a holiday with us is you’ll have the opportunity to meet and travel with people from all over the globe.

How much luggage can I bring?

You can bring one suitcase per person with the approximate dimensions of 76cm x 46cm x 25cm (30" x 18" x 10") and weight not exceeding 23 kg (50 lbs) due to the limited space on the coach. We suggest you have wheels on your suitcase, as there are certain places where assistance is not available (e.g. airports, railway stations and cruise terminals). You may also bring a backpack or day pack to take on the coach. 

On Short Breaks you can bring one suitcase per person with the approximate dimensions of 76cm x 46cm x 25cm (30" x 18" x 10") and weight not exceeding 20 kg (44 lbs) due to the limited space on the coach.

Can I bring the suitcase I bring on the airplane with me in the coach as my carry-on?

A limit of one small soft travel bag (approximately 30cm x 30cm x 70cm and preferably without wheels) and a small daypack (cabin baggage) is permitted per person. No hard bags or suitcases can be accommodated on the coach.

Is luggage handling provided?

Porterage is included at hotels on all AAT Kings guided coach tours & small group journeys. One suitcase per person will be delivered to your room.

Do I need to tip my Travel Director or Driver Guide?

As this is a matter of private and individual nature your gratuity should be sealed in an envelope and given to your Travel Director and Driver Guide, cash only, at the end of your trip. A guideline of $5 - $10 AUD per person per day to your Travel Director and Driver Guide

When will I receive travel documents?
