Worthwhile 0 , Canada, Feb 2017
Great trip overall. Great tour director, Paul Cotterill. Had a fun time visiting the various beach destinations and the in-between sites. I am just disappointed with the Novotel in Cairns where the cleanliness of the pool was not at par and room housekeeping was extremely disappointing (no vacuuming or mopping for three days, tea cups and glasses ...read more not washed).
Terrific trip! 1 , Australia, Nov 2015
Thank you Georgie for once again organising our holiday so successfully. Our bus tour with AAT Kings from Sydney to Cairns was a terrific trip! Our fellow travellers were so friendly and we had a wonderful time together, there were 8 Australians and 20 Internationals. The highlights were the Great Barrier Reef, Fraser Island, Daydream Island and Mission ...read more Beach, to name a few. It was so nice to see another section of our diverse country, we saw a working cattle station, cane fields, banana & pineapple plantations, tropical rainforests and so much more. We hope we can see another slice of our great country in the not too distant future, and we would certainly book again with Global Journeys!
Very satisfied with the journey and with Global Journeys 0 , Switzerland, Jun 2014
I was very satisfied with the journey and with the services of Global Journeys. Everything was well organized and went very well. The Coach was in an excellent condition, the seats very comfortable and the Driver excellent. The accommodations were in good condition and the daily breakfast-buffets and the included lunches and dinners very nice. If I ...read more have the opportunity to travel again to Australia (or somewhere else), I will again use your services.
Loved my tour 0 , Canada, Mar 2014
Loved my tour. Our Tour Guide was outstanding - she was knowledgeable and informative and very friendly. Didn't like all the rules the coach driver sent our way...a bit much. Loved where we went, loved Kirby's assistance at Global Journeys and would recommend this tour to others.
Global Journeys and AAT Kings were great 0 , Canada, Feb 2014
The East Coast Explorer gave us a nice look at this area of Australia. Highlights were Fraser Island and Farm Homestead visit. Mission Beach Castaways resort on the beach was great - wished we could stay an extra day. We also really enjoyed Noosa. The only negative was the Travel Lodge Rockhampton - AC was noisy and the hallway carpet smelled so bad ...read more that we had to stop breathing in order to get to our room - think this stop over needs to be replaced. Global Journeys and AAT Kings were great.
Would recommend the tour just for the itinerary 1 , United Kingdom, Jul 2013
The positives were that I had a great holiday and would recommend the tour just for the itinerary. We saw a lot of amazing places and the tour could of been extended to 14 days as we could of fitted in more places to see and gone further into far North Queensland. Met some amazing people who I'll keep in contact with and our tour guide and driver were ...read more fantastic. Ok the negatives were that at most of the hotels we stayed at we had to carry our own luggage up and down to our hotel rooms. In Noosa, I had to sleep on a sofa bed for 2 nights which wasn't great and share my hotel rooms with another lady who snored! Single travellers invest in single supplement/single room and learn from my mistake! The food in most of the hotels was pretty good some wasn't great. Apart from that I had a great holiday and have taken away some great memories!
Stays in Noosa and Cairns were my highlights 0 , United States, Nov 2012
I completed a tour from Sydney to Cairns during November. We had some pretty nice stops (the Reef in Cairns was the best), but I could have done with some different excursions. Due to the distance we stopped for over night stays at some places that had nothing to do once we got there. Within the major areas we had a great time. The stays in Noosa and ...read more Cairns were my highlights. My tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave great insight along the way. Kirby (my consultant) was very helpful and professional. I needed her help and advice several times before the tour and she was able to help each time.
Tour director really made sure we were taken care of 1 , Australia, Mar 2011
Another excellent tour by Global Journeys and AAT Kings. Smooth booking process, overall good tour. We tried scuba diving on this tour at the Great Barrier Reef, very good, good price for the introductary dive. It is a nice way to see the east coast. There were places that we would have like an extra day (Surfer's Paradise & Gold Coast) and also would ...read more have perfered better room's at Coff's Harbour hotel/motel (the upper rooms were better than ground floor). As we are vegetarian, our tour director Gillian really made sure we were taken care of and weren't just eating salad. Also, there are early starts because there is lots to do during the days. Definitely recommend the tour and Global Journeys.
A great itinerary and a positive group dynamic 1 , Canada, Dec 2010
This was an excellent tour - a great itinerary and a positive group dynamic. During the time of the flooding in Queensland, it was comforting that the AAT Kings was taking the responsibility to monitor the situation and to adjust the tour accordingly. We didn't have to worry and we faced no additional cost, despite the need to add a flight to our itinerary. ...read more Thank you for making those arrangements and for making the tour seamless and fun! Paul, our driver, was excellent at ensuring that our travels were safe and timely. Jodi, our tour director, was extremely knowledgeable, attentive and thorough. At times, the 'lectures' could have been shortened and more interactive, with input from the group. She seems to be more comfortable remaining entirely in control of the group at all times, rather than allowing any opportunity for autonomy within the group. We had a fabulous experience on this tour and would not hesitate to book with Global Journeys & AAT Kings in the future. Thank you!
Really enjoyable holiday, rain didn't spoil things one bit 0 , United Kingdom, Sep 2010
Really enjoyable holiday, Tony the tour guide was excellent as was most of the places we visited with the exception of Surfers Paradise which we thought was not a very nice area and I am sure somewhere better could have been found. All the hotels were to a very good standard, Fraser Island and Daydream Island were wonderful. All the people we meet on ...read more our tour were friendly which made it all the more enjoyable. We had a lot of rain whilst travelling but this didn't spoil things one bit.
