Kimberley Coastal Expedition   0 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2024
Great trip - Broome inclusions were brilliant, flights good and the APT team were fantastic! Cruise was beyond our expectations- excellent food and service, great accommodation and wonderful crew who looked after us superbly - I could not recommend this trip highly enough!
Excellent Kimberley Expedition     0 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2024
Our Kimberley Coastal Expedition and 3 Day Broome add on (thanks to APT), was a fantastic trip. We travelled with APT who used the Ponant Luxury Expedition ship the Le Laperouse. We went out each day exploring the Kimberleys on zodiacs and had an expert naturalist with us to share their vast knowledge on this beautiful region. We saw loads of wildlife ...read more ranging from turtles, crocodiles, sharks, fish, birds, as well as aboriginal art and fantastic scenery. The ratio of crew to passengers was 1:1 so service was fantastic. The meals and entertainment on board were great and we really enjoyed our daily briefings in the theatre each afternoon. We would like to thank Rachael from Global Journeys, the APT team of Margie and Lauren, all our naturalists especially Kiwi Ed and the Le Laperouse crew, for making this a memorable holiday.
Danube River Cruise   0 , New Zealand, May 2024
Spoilt by too much rain, we didn’t actually cruise - APT and ship’s staff were good but the holiday served its purpose - cruising is not for us. Pick-up and pre cruise arrangements were abysmal - in stark contrast to other cruises doing the same thing. On board we found the food was good (but not brilliant), the cabin excellent but the passengers were ...read more all quite old - we felt a bit out of place. Dining was also necessarily hectic and, if you wanted to dine alone as a couple - it was not possible unless you got room service. Many of the excursions felt too rushed (3-hour coach ride for a 2-hour visit) but weather was largely to blame as we couldn’t dock as planned. We found the flexibility of planning yourself and self-driving enabled better use of time. Some of the exclusive visits were excellent - the Sound of Music Show and the Vienna Recital being extremely worthwhile. Overall, staying twice as long at each stop would be our own preference. Global Journeys support throughout was good and we would consider again - but not for another 10 years.
A must do, trip do it whilst you can.     0 , SA, Australia, May 2024
Our 17 day APT Kimberley and Top End trip was fabulous in every way. ‘Bertha’ (22 seater Mercedes coach 4WD high ground clearance) covered 3,750 km with comfort and ease. The scenery was spectacular, the meals amazing and our fellow travellers were great. The stand out was our driver/guide. He had so much knowledge and delivered his commentary with ...read more enthusiasm and passion coloured with anecdotal stories toboot. Leigh was without doubt the key to our successful journey and experiences. This trip was worth every penny and we take away fond memories which we will treasure for a very long time.
Saw lots of the Kimberley   0 , QLD, Australia, May 2024
The trip was great. We saw the Kimberley in all its glory, as well as snippets of Kakadu and Arnhem Land and the weather was perfect. The APT guides were really well organised and we had a good bunch of people on the trip. There was lots of laughter. The APT accommodation was spot on. It was go, go most of the time, but I guess it has to be, to see ...read more what you've paid for.
Our holiday experience with APT was top quality again.   0 , NSW, Australia, May 2024
What a wonderful holiday we had after being organised by our highly efficient travel agent, Georgie. Our holiday experience with APT was top quality again. Even though the Iconic Italy Tour was hectic, the coach was very comfortable with WiFi. The tours were well organised and informative. It was great to have our tour attraction tickets pre-organised. ...read more The second half of the holiday included the Magnificent 15 day River Cruise. Unfortunately due to the unprecedented wet weather Germany received, we were only able to travel 1/2 the river by boat due to flooding towns and the river flowing too fast. Even though we did not see all the planned itinerary, APT kept all travelers up to date with the river conditions and tried their best to organise alternative day tours. The ship was very comfortable and clean and the food to die for. Considering not being able to see everything we had a great time, made new friends and would highly recommend the cruise to those who are considering doing it.
APT Kimberley's Complete   1 , NSW, Australia, May 2024
Each of the 13 days of the APT Kimberley's Complete tour is a highlight and it is the absolute best way for persons particularly of the Baby Boomers generation to experience the real Australian outback whilst retaining some of the creature comforts. From Hannah at Global Journeys and the APT team, the planning and booking process was seamless.The uniquely ...read more designed 4WD air conditioned buses make the 3000km travel in mid 30degree heat over often inhospitable terrain pass effortlessly particularly so due to the tireless efforts of our enthusiastic and knowledgeable APT guide team of Simon and Hils.

The accomodation was great and the quality of the meals served in the remote stopovers, the biggest surprise of all.Impossible to detail all the favourite walks, gorges, rivers, waterfalls, flights and cruises as each day was a new adventure. APT as a bonus even flew the group to and from the Mitchell Plateau when the road in remained closed. The helicopter trip back from Mitchell Falls to base camp was both picturesque and welcome after a long hike and enjoyable lunch with the tour group who at all times blended perfectly.

Our advice to fellow travellers is don't be deterred by the age on your passport as all walks are graduated at a pace that persons with a reasonable level of fitness will manage. Also don't be hesitant (as we were) to use the aid of a walking stick as it helps with balance on the rough terrain. No need to carry warm clothing in May at least as the temperatures remain mild overnight.
Wonderful European trip   0 , WA, Australia, Apr 2024
Amazing to experience so much of the history of Europe as well as beautiful scenery. Spring was a perfect time to travel. Highly recommend APT river cruise - everything included, professional staff and excellent accommodation and meals in the ship and hotels. Global Journeys booked and made changes very efficiently - thanks again Tracey.

Will I get seasick on a river cruise?
It’s unusual to get seasick on a river cruise, as the waters are calm and river ships don’t move quickly. If you’re worried, you can always discuss your concerns with your doctor before you depart.

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.
