AAT Kings Tour Reviews

Thanks to Madeline at Global Journeys for arranging our tour with AAT Kings. All went very smoothly. Whilst some days required early starts the tour was most enjoyable. The Tour Director Delma and driver Ben were exceptional. They were caring and most considerate professionals.

The coach was comfortable, scenery was wonderful, especially the four ...read more river and gorge cruises, and the accommodation, considering the remote location of towns, was very good. The tented cabin at Emma Gorge was great.

I would strongly recommend this tour for anyone who would love to get a feeling and understanding of Northern Australia.

From the moment we arrived in Alice, everything went exactly as planned. We were very excited to be somewhere where we haven't visited before and had talked about visiting for years. It was such a change in surroundings for us, where we are used to everything being green and quite lush to seeing the dry red earth everywhere and the bluest sky ever. ...read more

The hotels were great and we enjoyed all of them. The coaches we travelled around in were always spotlessly clean and the most wonderful, friendly and interesting drivers and guides. They really know their towns, country and area and we were so impressed with their stories and facts about where we were travelling. Congratulations to them all - we loved every minute we spent with them.

I can't explain how wonderful it was to visit Uluru and finally see the amazing landscape. We loved every minute of being there and perhaps one of the many, many highlights was the Fields of Light. It was such a perfect night.

A big thank you also to Hannah from Global Journeys for her prompt and expert arranging. Everything was perfect. All in all a very memorable trip that we will cherish for a long long time to come. Thank you everyone.

We recently did the two-day AAT Kings trip to Kakadu. It was absolutely brilliant. Our guides were so knowledgeable, providing a great understanding of the park, the history and the present day. Highly recommended.

We had a terrific time but unfortunately we’re unable to see Franz Josef glacier due to road being taken out by heavy rain. Our fellow bus travellers were lovely and mostly Australian. Some were from the UK and the States. Absolutely beautiful scenery, great accommodation and meals. Would travel with AAT Kings again. Our tour guide was Tania Simpson, ...read more who has won the award for being the best tour guide with AAT Kings multiple times.

Just returned home from our trip to the Great Ocean Road and Kangaroo Island and Adelaide. We had a fabulous time and enjoyed every part of the trip. Our tour guide and coach driver were great.

Once again thank you for an enjoyable trip.

Global Journeys was very helpful, easy to deal with, efficient and reliable. We had a great trip. We met some great new friends and had a ball. Highlights were Kangaroo Island and the Barossa tour was very good. The accommodation was very good, even in smaller towns, and we were very pleased with the included meals - all were of high quality.

Fantastic trip, happy with the professionalism from booking to the end. AAT Kings were excellent in every aspect and the tour guide Isobel was probably the best guide I have ever had on an escorted tour. Her pride in New Zealand was evident throughout and her knowledge was brilliant. She is a friendly, happy, patient guide, quite a natural to this type ...read more of work. AAT Kings are lucky to have her. Would definitely travel with them again.

I would highly recommend this tour and already have to a close friend. I was happy that the tour included the Mt Field National Park and Cradle Mountain. It was a well paced tour and I felt I was accommodated well. I enjoyed the Freycinet Lodge and all the accommodation was of a high standard. I chose this tour because I had the option to visit MONA ...read more within the timeline of the tour.

The food everywhere was a highlight of this tour particularly at the Josef Chromy Wines Estate. I've learnt about Cape Grim beef and have found it here in QLD. Everywhere everything was delicious. I could write about that aspect all day. Our tour guide Carolyn was a great ambassador for her state. I was surprised how she could inform, be clear and friendly all day and night. She is a marvel. Her reportage of Tasmanian history is personal as she is from convict stock. She is a born storyteller and she brings it alive for all to ponder and connect with that magical island.

The coach was ever so comfortable and the seating was fair and ample. Global Journeys were courteous and prompt with all correspondence. We would use Global Journeys again when planning our next holiday. The discounts were what prompted us to use Global Journeys. I had my birthday on tour and it was the best ever as we visited the lavender farm in the morning and in the evening we all got very merry.

I had booked AAT Kings' Tasmania tour (6 day tour from 29 Dec 18 to 3 Jan 19) through Jemma of Global Journeys. I was impressed by Jemma's efficiency and professionalism.

My husband and I had an enjoyable holiday in Tasmania, however, if AAT Kings could make more of an effort on the following items, it would enhance and sustain its brand and image.

1) ...read more Ensure accuracy of its documents prior to being sent to its customers (I needed to send an email to Jemma prior to the commencement of the trip and requested confirmation on the pick up venue on first day of the tour).

2) Incorrect information listed on the documents resulted in 4 customers being unable to assemble at the correct pick up venue (Travelodge Hobart) at 2:00 pm on the first day of the tour, so they missed out on visiting 2 spots and the driver needed to drive back to the Travelodge to pick them up. This incident shortened our time for sightseeing (visited Hobart's down town...) as the welcome drinks started at 6:00 pm.

3) Time for bag collection was at 7:00 am (4 days) and 8:00 am (1 day), the former collection time gave us discomfort as we needed to wake up at 6:00 am at the latest so as to meet AAT Kings' request. We needed rest on our holiday, however, this request put us under pressure ...

4) Most of the hotel accommodation arranged was pretty good except "Travelodge", the grading of the motel does not meet AAT Kings' brand.

Most of the food arranged together with service rendered by the Travel Director and Driver were good.

I would consider both Global Journeys and AAT Kings in the future as they offer value for money.

Our trip to Tasmania was extremely well organised and certainly met our expectations. The guide Caroline was very informative and very attentive to all the group. Despite the group being very large (50 people) there were no problems at all and everyone got on very well. The accommodation was excellent and we had no complaints there. The itinerary was ...read more well thought out and it was a good time to go. The weather was pleasant with no rain, despite it being very cloudy. The only disappointment was we didn't have enough time at Port Arthur. We would have liked more time to explore all the buildings. Other than that we're very happy.

Global Journeys and AAT Kings made my Tasmanian Wonders tour absolutely worry free. Madeline from Global Journeys organised this tour for me so well. From my arrival to departure I had no worries. The trip was great and we were blessed with beautiful weather.

Everyone was so friendly and helpful on this tour. We got on with each other so well. Our ...read more Travel Director Carolyn had a wealth of knowledge and understanding about Tasmanian history and she was very helpful. Tom our coach driver was excellent in all areas of his expertise and very helpful as well. I left with so much knowledge and understanding of Tasmania. I will visit Tasmania in the near future soon. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves travelling and learning about cultures, people and scenic views.

I enjoyed every minute of this tour. I have already booked another tour to Europe with Global Journeys. Thank you to Global Journeys and AAT Kings for the best tour I have ever had!!

Great trip. Well organised and easy to just sit back and enjoy. Carolyn, our tour director, shared interesting stories and background information on the areas we visited while Tom, our coach driver, was professional, courteous and got us safely from one destination to another. The itinerary was well planned and gave us a great taste of Tasmania. Would ...read more definitely recommend.

Had a fantastic time travelling around Tasmania with AAT Kings. Everything was so well organised, with a very informative travel director and great driver.

Loved Tasmania, particularly the west coast and central highlands. Cradle Mountain was the highlight!

Had a wonderful tour around Tasmania in November, the roadsides were covered in wild flowers, the weather was ideal and the coach tour staff were excellent at keeping us informed about the local history. This tour visited spectacular rainforests and tourist attractions that suited the type of tour we were looking for. The accommodation and meals supplied ...read more were all excellent with special dietary requirements catered for. I would recommend this tour to anyone travelling to Tasmania.

Again Juliet rose to the occasion! I told her what I wanted to do and she arranged it! It was a one night stay so we were constantly busy, but that was the plan! I was a little disappointed in the Pioneer Lodge, but that had been my choice! I thought the check in was unorganised and the buffet was so overpriced! But the accommodations were fine!

Wow what an excellent tour, scenery was fantastic, lovely group of people on our tour and everybody was friendly and mixed well. Would like to say that Isobel Needham our tour guide was fantastic, so helpful and knowledgeable with all our points of interest on the way. Overall could not fault anything on this tour.

Wonderful holiday, we saw all the sights we wanted to visit plus extras. The tour director Gina and our driver Mark went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time even when the weather caused some problems. There was plenty of variety with optional tours. Everything was organised for us so we just had to sit back and relax. Highly recommend ...read moreed.

Was very enjoyable, tours director and driver were excellent. Hotels were good and enjoyed my trip immensely. My fellow companions were good company and the coach was not full which gave room to move around. The inclusions were good and options were diverse although I did not take them.

Very satisfied with all aspects of this tour. Final night BBQ was a great touch. It gave everyone an opportunity to mingle and get to see how life is in North Queensland.

Great trip, did not have to think too much because the tour was all planned. Beautiful coach with an amazing driver, sailed smoothly all the way around. Knowledgeable tour director. I learnt so much about Tasmania that I had no idea about. Accommodation was more than acceptable. Would definitely travel with AAT Kings again.
