APT Reviews
Eastern Block and River cruise 0 Eastern Bloc with Magnificent Europe Judith and Geoffrey, QLD, Australia, Jun 2026
APT is definitely a luxury company - accommodation, meals, staff were all exceptional. Mostly Australians and New Zealanders on our 2 tours which made it easy for us to assimilate and find discussion topics with like-minded people. Our tour guides were also exceptional - very helpful, tolerant and accommodating. This was our first journey with APT and read more we would go with this travel company again.
Global Journeys provided timely updates and information and Mandy was also quick with responses to questions and provided the tactful “prod” we needed to get organized for our trip. It’s too easy to let things slide when you are flat strap with daily business but Mandy was diligent in reminding us of things that needed to be done. Loved the “check list” provided.
Name badges: I could have sworn I packed them but they weren’t in the bag when we opened them in Prague. Some travellers didn’t receive them before they left Australia. I would have preferred that APT gave us the name badges at the welcoming event in Prague. The staff on the cruise ship did prove us with one when we asked.

Fantastic APT trip through The Kimberley & The Top End 0 Kimberley and Top End Derek and Alison , New Zealand, Jun 2026
We booked our APT Tour using Global Journeys (Hannah). We had a fantastic time 10/10. 100% met (or actually exceeded) our expectations. Booking process was easy and Hannah helped us manage the process smoothly and always replied quickly to our queries. Trip itself was holiday of a lifetime. 20 of us in the group and we all became 'mates' very quickly. read more Driver / Tour guide Leigh was totally amazing, great personality, unbelievable knowledge and organised everything perfectly.
Highlights?? there are too many to mention, but helicopter ride over the Bunge Bungles would be in the top five. Walk to Mitchell Falls, tour through Arnhem Land / Kakadu National Park, huge selection of Aboriginal rock art to view, Emma Groge walk, numerous amazing swimming spots such as Zebedee Springs are just a few that come to mind. Accommodation at APT Wilderness Lodges (ensuite glamping) and the cuisine we were served was also another definite highlight. Only downside is that, due to the distances that need to be covered, we spent an average of five hours on the (very comfortable, with Starlink) 4WD bus and also this meant lots of early starts each day eg. breakfast at 6am for 6.45am departure. As long as you can handle this I say go for it, you will NOT be disappointed.

Fantastic Lake Eyre and Flinders Ranges 0 Lake Eyre and Flinders Ranges Robert and Denise, QLD, Australia, May 2026
It was the trip of a lifetime. Lake Eyre lived up to its reputation and the Flinders Ranges were spectacular, with an amazing flight over Wilpena Pound. Meals were first class. The coach, operated by Gary. Was top notch. We couldn’t drive on two sections of the roads but APT chartered two planes on two occasions. Hannah from Globus is very professional and friendly.
From the start Grace was very helpful with our booking. Our trip itself was absolutely fantastic and we would highly recommend it. We felt so lucky the whole trip. We felt that travelling mid to late May was the perfect time to travel. The country was so lush and green and there was so many beautiful flowers to be seen, plus so much water in all the read more falls, yet we were earlier enough in the season to be ahead of most travellers as some roads were not yet open after such a late wet season. On that note we were absolutely delighted when APT flew our whole group from Drysdale station to their lodge at Mitchel Plateau as the road in was not open. The next day they then helicoptered the group up to the Mitchell falls and back again, as the walking track was also closed. This by itself ensured that we will be choosing to travel with APT for our future trips.
We were also lucky enough to be on a trip with two guides, Kylie and Dean. We are aware that other trips only had one guide. We feel having two guides added so much to our trip in a number of ways.
Firstly it allowed the driver (mainly Dean) to concentrate on driving, while the other guide (Kylie) did an outstanding job of setting a very happy and respectful tone on the bus. . She had obviously done an incredible amount of research which she shared with us daily about geographical features, cultural issues, and fauna and flora. This was interspersed with a couple of fun games and some music while giving enough quiet time for us to chat between ourselves or just take in the scenery.
The bus was always immaculately clean every morning and plenty of snacks made available to eat while on the bus.
Having the second guide also meant we felt a lot safer on our walks, with one guide leading the way while the other guide was at the rear helping those in the group who were a little slower or needed a bit more help to negotiate any tricky parts. All together this made for an amazing trip!

Lake Eyre and Flinders Ranges 0 Lake Eyre and Flinders Ranges Barb and Garry, QLD, Australia, Apr 2026
Well arranged tour allows you to see & experience from the Flinders Ranges to the outback. The extended flights over Lake Eyre & the Diamantina to Birdsville were spectacular. Unique opportunity now to see the Lake Eyre in flood & desert in bloom.
Botanica Japan 0 Spring Gardens, Culture and History of Japan & South Korea by Small Ship Bill and Yvonne, NSW, Australia, Apr 2026
The trip was really well organised & of high quality. All Botanica staff were excellent being both down to earth as well as knowledgeable. The ship & crew was excellent with the cabins being spacious & plenty of storage. The food was fabulous. The local guides were also fabulous. The trip was very well handled for us by Hannah Perry who is always pleasant.
This tour was from Uluru to Alice Springs over 7 days. Our tour guide/driver, Geery was an amazing guy whose knowledge and lifetime experience in the area gave us an insight into life in the region. Uluru was one place I have always wanted to visit and getting up close to the rock was a great experience. Accommodation and the meals at Sails was superb. read more We then had a couple of days at Kings Canyon before moving onto Alice and spending the day walking through the MacDonnell Ranges. Great experience walking into Simpson's Gap and Standley Chasm. Our last night was spent at the Outback Bush BBQ, a great way to end the tour. Thank you to Hannah from Global Journeys for organising this tour for me.
Vietnam and Cambodia by land, air and river cruise 0 Best of Vietnam and Cambodia Robyn and Michael, VIC, Australia, Apr 2026
Our tour with APT was very well organised and run, with an excellent local Tour Director and knowledgeable local guides. Hotel accommodation, included meals and the one week Mekong River Cruise were generally excellent. While it was not a cheap way to travel, we appreciated the all-inclusive nature of the tour (including not having to search for local read more restaurants most of the time, or worry about tipping). The itinerary nevertheless provided enough choices to limit group sizes for activities and cater to different tastes and abilities. The tour attracted a cohort who were mainly retired and well-travelled Australians and New Zealanders, generally active and curious. There were plenty of opportunities to get up close to local life, and to hear from knowledgeable local guides, while retreating to the bubble of a luxury hotel or cruise boat at night.

FAQs
Who will I be travelling with?
Most of your fellow travellers will be Aussies and Kiwis, but that’s not to say you won’t meet people from all over the world.
Are airport transfers included?
Yes. APT include complimentary airport transfers on the first and last day of the trip, or if you’ve booked pre- or post-trip accommodation as part of your APT package (subject to availability, some exceptions apply).
Are excursions included?
Yes. APT include Freedom of Choice excursions and Signature Experiences on their trips, which are designed to enhance your time in each destination. On some trips, there may also be additional experiences available to purchase (ahead of time and on-tour). Further details will be available in your APT Tour Personaliser and final travel documents.
Can I pre-book excursions?
Yes, you can pre-book some excursions via your APT Tour Personaliser, once your booking is confirmed with Global Journeys. All other excursions can be chosen while on-tour.
Do I have to pay gratuities?
APT include gratuities for all tours and cruises (unless indicated otherwise on the itinerary), so you won’t need to worry about tipping. However, please keep in mind that gratuities are not included for APT trip extensions.
How much luggage can I bring?
Most APT tours permit one (1) bag weighing between 23kg to 30kg, plus a piece of hand luggage. Some safari and adventure tours may have further luggage restrictions where guests need to pack down to a small soft bag due to the smaller vehicles that are used on-tour. Luggage limits for your particular APT trip will be included in your final tour documents.
Do I need a travel adaptor?
If you decide to bring appliances from home, it's essential to pack a travel adaptor that aligns with the power point and voltage specifications of your destination country. If your appliances are not dual voltage, it’s important to also bring a standard voltage converter. Electricity details for your specific trip will be outlined in your final travel documents.
What do I pack for my trip?
The dress code with APT is pretty relaxed, so light, comfortable clothing is best for during the day. Smart casual clothing is good for evenings, and you might also want to bring something a little dressier for any special events or experiences that are included on your trip. Packing layers is always recommended, and consider any cultural expectations or dress codes that may apply to your travel destination.
If you’re travelling on an expedition cruise, Kimberley or Outback Wilderness adventure, you will need to pack destination specific gear to ensure you are comfortable and equipped for touring experiences (for example, hikes over rugged terrain, wet-landings for Zodiacs and polar expeditions). For more information, please refer to your final travel documents.

For more information, please refer to your final travel documents.
Can I bring medication with me?
We recommend packing a small medical kit, as pharmacies can sometimes be difficult to access and not all medications will be available. We suggest packing:
- A general-purpose antibiotic
- Cold and flu medication
- Your preferred pain medication
- Medicine for stomach upsets
- Band aids and blister pads
- Any prescription medication you require while away (including a doctor’s letter confirming your list of prescription medications and dosages).
Will I get seasick on a small-ship cruise?
You may encounter occasional rough weather when sailing in certain destinations such as crossing the Drake Passage. We recommend discussing seasickness medication with your doctor prior to departing for your cruise, as preventative medication is recommended by APT.
Where do I embark and disembark my cruise?
Details on when and where to embark and disembark your cruise will be provided in your final travel documents.
Are APT trips suitable for kids?
Not really. Some families take their children on APT tours and cruises, however it is unlikely you’ll see many, if any. Age restrictions vary depending on your chosen travel style and destination, so your Global Journeys Travel Advisor will be able to provide further information.
What is seat rotation?
Seat rotation means each day you will rotate or change seats onboard the coach to ensure everyone has a chance to enjoy front and window seats while touring.
Will I get altitude sickness in South America?
Some parts of Peru, including Cusco and Lake Titicaca, are situated at an altitude of up to 4,000 metres. At these altitudes, the lack of oxygen affects most people to some extent, until they become acclimatised. You can discuss any concerns of altitude sickness with your doctor.
Are my flights within Africa or South America included?
All internal flights, as per your tour itinerary, are included. Please be aware that certain restrictions may apply, so always read the trip notes as outlined by your Global Journeys travel advisor.
Do I need any vaccinations before I leave on my trip?
Some destinations, such as countries in Africa, require travellers to have specific vaccinations before they can travel. Please refer to your particular trip’s notes and discuss all vaccination requirements with your doctor well in advance of leaving for your trip.
When will I receive my travel documents?
You’ll receive your electronic travel documents approximately two to three weeks prior your departure. Make sure you’ve completed your checklist and provided us with all the necessary information before you go.
What happens if my plans change?
APT offer a Deposit Cancellation Cover, which allows you to change or cancel your trip up to 100 days prior to departure. If you’d like this protection included in your quote, please let your Global Journeys Travel Advisor know at the time of enquiry.
Do I need a visa?
You will need to contact the Embassy (Consular Services) of each country on your itinerary for specific visa requirements, information, forms and fees for your nationality. More information can be found here.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is an essential part of your holiday plans. We strongly recommend that you organise your travel insurance at the time you pay your deposit. Be aware when organizing your insurance, that uninsured travelers (or their families) and travelers without the appropriate level of cover, are held personally liable for cancellation, medical and associated costs incurred at any time whether before the cruise, on board or overseas.
