Made loads of friends & had a wonderful time 0 , Australia, Mar 2011
We had a wonderful time in Tassie with AATKings. Our Tour Director Robin & Driver Tom were excellent. Our only complaint was with the airlines from the Gold Coast to Hobart & return. My advice to anybody would be to book direct flights. Apart from that the tour was great, very informative, made loads of friends & had many happy days. Thank you for organising ...read more the tour.
Organisation was spot on, a hassle free holiday 0 , Australia, Feb 2011
Thank you Georgina for helping us plan our trip to Tasmania with Global Journeys. We had a really enjoyable time and in the 10 days there we saw so much. The efficiency in the organizing of our day trips, tours, cruises, meals and our very comfortable accommodation was spot on. We made some lovely friends on tour and have recommended Global Journeys ...read more to our friends who are looking for a hassle free holiday.
Myself and my mum thoroughly enjoyed everything 0 , Australia, Feb 2011
The tour was great both, myself and my mum thoroughly enjoyed everything. The accommodation/food was great the tour guide Peter Redman was very informative and accommodating to everyone's needs. And the bus driver tom was also very pleasant at all times. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Pretty cold, but I guess that is why it is so lush and beautiful 0 , United Kingdom, Feb 2011
I loved Tasmania. It was a pity that it was pretty cold for the time of year having left Canberra in 37 degrees and arrived in Hobart in 17 degrees which went down to 9 degrees in the mountains, but I guess that is why it is so lush and beautiful. It was a pity that it was never warm enough to even walk on the beaches as the wind was so cold. I was ...read more sorry that there was never enough time to stay long enough in any one place; perhaps some of the visits could have been left out. Also arriving in Launceston late afternoon on a Sunday when we were not provided with an evening meal was difficult as most restaurants were closed. With hindsight we should have eaten at the hotel where we were staying. I loved the little penguins, the mountains and temperate rain forest with magnificent trees covered in moss and lichens, the river cruise from Strahan especially the stop at Katherine Island, and the day at Port Arthur. Richmond was an enchanting little town where I could easily live!
Tour guide was perfect 0 , Australia, Jan 2011
The Tour was well organized and everything was up to schedule. The Carolyn Tipper like a guide was perfect. Her deep knowledge of Tasmanian history and the places we were visiting was overwhelming. Thank you for this tour.
I loved the history, the wilderness, and the people 1 , Australia, Jan 2011
I had an absolutely wonderful holiday. The tour guide had an outstanding knowledge of Tasmanian History, including convicts, locals, environment and products. As well as making the tour friendly and offering lots of extra sightseeing stops. Tasmania was beautiful, I had such a wonderful time. I loved the history, the wilderness, and the people both ...read more of Tasmania and my fellow travellers. The National Parks in Tasmania are awesome, I want to go back to Tasmania especially to see Cradle Mountain once again.
Saw some wonderful scenery and sights 0 , Australia, Jan 2011
Had a lovely time touring Tasmania - saw some wonderful scenery and sights. I wish the group was a little smaller, and although I was told that it will be busy I didn't feel rushed. We stayed in some lovely accommodation and the meals were all great.
Mixed feelings on the tour 0 , Australia, Dec 2010
The tour was good and bad. The good included Hobart, Russell Falls, Gordon River Cruise, Cradle Mountain, Stanley, Launceston & Bicheno. The fantastic included Port Arthur, Richmond, Freycinet & Legerwood Memorial. The bad was the cheese factory, Axeman's hall of fame, the junk shop. The absolute pits was Queenstown and for 2 nights!? Such a shame we ...read more didn't stay in Strahan especially the night of the cruise as there was theatre relating to Sarah Island. The tour guide was disappointing. Unfriendly, not very knowledgeable and repeated instructions incessantly as though we were two year olds. The coach and driver were great.
Covered a lot and no doubt saw the highlights of Tasmania 0 , Australia, Nov 2010
There were too many on the tour and because of this we had very little time to take many photos especially when the weather was good. Generally we enjoyed the tour. The coach driver was a very good driver and the guide did her best to keep us happy and informed. We felt the tour covered a lot in the time available and no doubt saw the highlights of ...read more Tasmania. Starting the tour and ending the tour at Hobart was good as we could get a direct flight from and to Brisbane. The fellow passengers fitted in very well and we got along with everybody and we all had a good time together. Meals and accommodation were good but arriving in Launceston on the Sunday afternoon was not a good idea as most of the shops and eating places were closed and dinner was not included that day. We would have liked to have spent more time at the gorge near Launceston since very little was open in Launceston and it was a lovely day to have spent more time at the gorge.
Each day full of interesting places 0 , Canada, Nov 2010
This was a good trip with excellent driver (Smilie) and guide (Carolyn). Both were very knowledgeable and provided wonderful commentary on Tasmanian history and the sights we visited. They worked hard to keep each day full of interesting places. We were with an interesting group of seniors who related well and enjoyed the trip.
A very comprehensive tour 0 , Australia, Oct 2010
We highly recommend this holiday. A very comprehensive tour with great driver and tour director in a very comfortable coach. Accomodation was clean and comfortable and included meals were generous and delicious.
Best holiday ever! 0 , Australia, May 2010
The tour was purchased on behalf of my parents. They state it is one of the best holidays that they have ever had. Everything was well organised and flowed easy from the airport transfers to the actual tour itself. The coach was first class with an exceptional bus driver and tour guide. All the accommodation was as hoped being clean, comfortable and ...read more well positioned. All food was first class. The trip was full on but set at a pace that was easily held to by my aged parents. The trip and Global Journeys have a world class tour and it is highly recommended to anyone.
Loved Tassie, saw lots, did lots, ate lots 1 , Australia, May 2010
From the beginning Georgie made booking so easy. Thank you Georgie. Loved Tassie, saw lots, did lots, ate lots. Tour Guide Katherine very knowledgable and left us in no doubt as to what was happening. Driver Peter worked hard. No real complaints but disappointing that the Chancellor Queenstown manager so rude to his staff and some guests. Breakfast ...read more staff at Burnie seemed eager for us to move on. Last dinner at Mercure Launceston extremely poor however complaints accepted graciously. Great tour variety, something for everyone. Enjoyed some places so much wanted to go back and see more! Tour end felt a bit bitsy and flat. Would have liked a definite tour finish with opportunity for full group goodbye and thanks to our crew, especially as we had 'lived together' for 10 days. All four of us still buzzing and remembering special moments.
We both had a wonderful time 0 , Australia, Apr 2010
We both had a wonderful time. The intenery was very good. The accommodation was also excellent. Our tour guide and driver were very efficient and friendly. Thanks for the great holiday.
Never a dull moment 1 , Australia, Mar 2010
I found that the 10 days Best of Tasmania tour was a great way to see so many of the different but always interesting and beautiful areas of Tasmania. Barbara our Tour Director and Neville our driver were always most helpful and made the trip a safe and happy experience for us all. There was never a dull moment on this tour and I recommend it to anyone ...read more wishing to visit Tasmania the easy and trouble free way. A very big thank you is also sent to Georgia Walpole for all her help in organizing this trip for Odette and myself. It has been more then 30 years since we have had a chance to have a holiday together but as our families have all grown up we felt now was the time and we were not disappointed. We both had a great time.
Difficult to have a more complete tour 1 , New Zealand, Oct 2009
As far as itinerary went, it would be difficult to have a more complete tour. Enough praise cannot be given also to the tour company, especially the tour director and driver we were given. However, it has come to my attention that AAT Kings is also a member of the Trafalgar/Insight travel group, and as a frequent traveller and member of their discount ...read more traveller's club, it would have been better if this had been advised to me.
Just the best time 0 , New Zealand, Oct 2009
Just the best time. Ted and Pete were absolutely great. We were priviledged to have Teds local knowledge. It was great to have everything planned for us so we didn't have to worry about bookings of hotels etc. The coach was soooo comfy with good views out. I'm a bit nervous that if we did do another holiday it wouldn't be as good as this one was. So ...read more thanks ever so much.
