Wonders of the Kimberley Reviews

Thought starting with a free day unnecessary. Tour manager and driver were excellent - organised, helpful and congenial. Accommodation and meal at Fitzroy Crossing below standard and $20 compensation seems inadequate. Generally I would have liked a little more free time at the end of each day. Sometimes a bare hour was all there was. Meals could be ...read more later.

It was an interesting trip. Our tour guide Nellie Sullivan was enthusiastic and informative and Mark our driver was very good on the roads and the trip generally. Favourite moments were Broome and the Stairway to the Moon, the Geiki Gorge and Ord River cruises although the Ord was my favourite. You could include another cruise. The guides were also ...read more interesting and informative and the organisers of the Ord cruise surprised us with afternoon tea and someone had even made gluten free cakes, a lovely touch. I also enjoyed the visit to the Yiylli Aboriginal Community and their art gallery - one of the highlights as was Ted, our Aboriginal Guide at the Argyl diamond mine. More of these Aboriginal experiences would be good.I was impressed with the Emma Gorge resort. Also the chef at Fitzroy Crossing accommodation was very helpful about g/f food and even made me a special dessert. My only crticism was that the g/f options weren't always available which is why I was appreciative when anyone made a special effort. Thre were two of us on the trip who had to follow a g/f diet. Most of the accommodation was very good especially The Cable Beach Resort. Overall it was an intense and inspirational time, the landscapes and people were amazing and worth every cent. One criticism, we were strongly encouraged not to use the toilet on the coach, which is a bit restrictive for a tour which included many over 55s - sometimes there were long delays between stops.

Our tour was amazing, our guide Nellie, one in a million and so so knowledgeable and in touch with the Kimberley's. And Mark the Driver superb also. AAT has very high standards and these two certainly are valued members, they were a delight. Scenery was breathtaking and the people we met along the way all lovely and made our journey special too, be ...read more it our travel companions, hotel staff or tour guides - all very special. Bruce in the Bungles and Dylan on the Ord River the real stand outs. Loved it!!

The trip was fantastic, AAT Kings excelled themselves once again. Well planned and well organised. Good accommodation and meals in the outback. Beautiful landscapes and magnificent cruises. Top marks to Driver, Mark and also to Tour Guide, Nellie for sharing her knowledge and the history of the areas we travelled through. Also thanks for the little ...read more touches like wine at sunset over the Kimberleys on an unused airstrip and drinks at the Sandalwood Factory. Thanks to Georgie from Global Journeys for all her administrative skills in organising the tour and for arranging extra accommodation and Day Tours in Perth and Darwin to coincide with our visit to Western Australia and the Northern Territory. I would recommend this tour as a 'MUST DO'.

Tour was great, our guide and driver were excellent. Best part were the included side tours, these were very informative and well presented.

Our Tour Guide, Nellie, really made the tour come alive for us through her dedicated hard work in keeping the tour running smoothly and hassle free. Top marks too for our driver Mark.

Excellent tour, great crew. Beautiful landscapes and magnificent river cruises. Good accommodation in the outback and plentiful food (= too much!).

The trip was great!! Very well organised and the staff were fantastic. AATKings does a great job. Had a good group of fellow travellers which made it a whole lot of fun. The process of booking and payment through Global Journeys was clear and easy. Thank you to Georgie and the team for the work you did at your end.
