I am very happy, firstly with Juliet from Global Journeys who managed all aspects of the tour including single supplement, on a rather late booking. This trip was all I dreamed and more, mainly from the way the tour was organised, and the many extras that were included, the cruises where on one we were treated to afternoon tea in the middle of nowhere. read more Another highlight was the quality of the accommodation, always the best that could be provided in this remote area. Vouchers for two free drinks each evening.
My trip was made so much more enjoyable by our couch driver Warren, who went beyond his duties when I had an unfortunate hiccup on the bus, thank you Warren. Our tour guide Dave, scores 11 out of 10 for his courtesy, helpfulness to all the 35 of us, his knowledge of the area, the history, giving everyone the feeling that we were his friend. Lastly AAT Kings, my first trip with your company, but definitely not my last. As you know word of mouth is the best advertisement, and I will be praising the tour, the personnel, and making this trip so enjoyable.

Ayers Rock and Kings Canyon 1
Juliet, London, United Kingdom, Aug 2018
We had a great tour with guides and drivers who were always friendly and knowledgeable. Wouldn’t hesitate to use AAT Kings again.
An excellent way to see the sunburnt country! 1
Wonders of the Kimberley
Hilary & Aart, ACT, Australia, Jul 2018
We were most impressed by both the tour director (Dave) and the driver (Stu). The information that was relayed to us by Dave along the way was invaluable in appreciating the top of Australia. We felt the pace was just right and the places we visited were clearly well researched by AAT Kings. The accommodation was just right and there were a few gems read more like El Questro. Dinners were buffet style and were of variable quality but most were acceptable and one (Halls Creek) was outstanding. Stu took great care of the bus which was cleaned and disinfected every night. The other passengers were a convivial bunch and friendships were made. Overall a wonderful experience.
An extremely memorable trip to a part of Australia everyone should visit. We especially enjoyed the guides at Kakadu and thought they made the trip particularly memorable.
Kata Tjuta, Uluru & Kings Canyon 1
Patrick, NSW, Australia, Jul 2018
This was a great tour and well worth the expense. The guides/drivers were very professional and knowledgeable. Everything was well organised and went without a hitch. We especially enjoyed the Uluru tours and King's Canyon. We would recommend AAT Kings to others without reservation. All in all, it was a great way to see and experience the Australian Center.
What a wonderful time my friends and I had on the 10 day tour of the south west area of Western Australia! We loved the tour and all it had to offer, even though we travelled long hours on a lot of the days. The scenery was very varied, from the amazing Wave Rock, the beautiful red dirt of the outback, the magnificent white sandy beaches and rugged read more coastline, the tree-top walk high above the tall trees, our delicious meal at a Margaret River winery and many, many more wonderful things we saw and did. The hotels we stayed at were great, as were the included meals. We certainly didn't go hungry!
Our fairly new coach was very comfortable and our tour director, Gordon, was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and was always so polite and patient and went out of his way to make sure we were OK. Our coach driver, Ralph, was also great and we felt very safe with his driving and maneuvering of the coach down narrow, congested streets. Gordon and Ralph were both very entertaining, which added to the enjoyment of our holiday. Even though we went in July, the weather was very kind to us, with temperatures between about 17-22 degrees during the day, but very cold at night, so you definitely need a warm coat and layers of clothing.
Madeline at Global Journeys was always so friendly, prompt and efficient with all of our queries or requests, whether it was via a phone call or email. Thank you Madeline for taking care of our booking. I would highly recommend travelling with AAT Kings and booking with Global Journeys.

Certainly an easy way to see a lot. Very smooth journey with quality stops and a manageable pace. Good choice of accommodation. Tour guides were helpful in many varied ways.
What a wonderful time I've just had on the 10 day Tasmanian Wonders tour. Our tour guide Carolyn knew so much about her island, and along with coach driver Tom, they couldn't do enough for us. We were a good mix of ages on the coach, and it was great to see some much older than me enjoy themselves. Our accommodation was of a very high standard and meals read more delicious. I would certainly recommend this tour everyone. Well done!
15 Day Outback Adventure (AAT Kings) 6
Outback Adventure
Catherine & Michael Cranney, NSW, Australia, May 2018
We would definitely consider travelling with AAT Kings in the future. The entire tour was well organised' with plenty of included sightseeing. Our tour guide, Cam was excellent, giving descriptive information along the way, and our driver Mark, very courteous and helpful. Booking online with Global Journeys was easy and communication with Madeline was read more efficient.
Quality of accommodation was good, especially in small towns having to cater for over 50 people. The included meals were very good, as were the included drinks at dinner, something we've never experienced before on previous overseas tours. Fellow travellers were overall good company. May was a good time of the year to travel on this particular tour, as it was cold, but comfortable, until we reached Tennant Creek, then the weather got warmer to hot when we arrived in Darwin.

We have just returned from a fabulous coach trip around Tasmania with AAT Kings. We stayed in some great locations and the accommodation was really good. We went in early May, which concerned me a little, but it turned out to be a great time to travel. The trees had changed into their Autumn colours, but the sun shone every day. Another plus is that read more their aren't so many other tourists about that late in the season.
Our tour director Gordon was amazing and I was in awe of his knowledge of each area we visited. He was also entertaining and with his sidekick, Tom the driver, we were in great hands. We were given chocs on Mother's Day, as a lovely gesture and sweets were passed down the coach daily. They seemed to go out of their way to take us on new adventures - be it a wonderful view and picture opportunity or taking us for an ice cream in a little town that isn't quite on the tourist map!
We all felt safe and in good hands and the time flew by so quickly with our new friends. Yvonne at Global Journeys was very helpful and pleasant to be associated with and when I had to re-book due to ill health, Yvonne was very understanding and helped us with all our concerns. I would certainly go to Yvonne if I was going on any future travel.

The trip was a very informative journey. I can't really pick a highlight as every day something beautiful was viewed. Gordon our Tour Director was knowledgeable and made it an enjoyable adventure. Tom's driving was excellent.
I was told tourists would mainly be in their 60s but there were only three of us. It was a mix of one 40 year old, three read more in 60s, couples in 70s and 80s and even a 92 year old gentleman. Everyone mixed well with Australians, New Zealanders, a German couple and an elderly French woman who invited me to visit her in Paris which was lovely.
Global Journeys handled my booking well and professionally. The weather was perfect as well. I was travelling alone and the accommodation was very good.

Very enjoyable trip of New Zealand. AAT Kings were brilliant with this trip. Nothing was an issue to the Tour Director and the driver was fantastic also. Only real negative we had was still to much to see and do over there, will have to go back again. Global journeys were a pleasure to use, the booking was handled so well without any issues. Would read more recommend both Global Journeys and AAT KINGS to anyone.
Our first time traveling with AAT Kings, and found the tour well organized, with an excellent bus driver and tour guide. The accommodation was very good for all but one night where we found the room not as clean as the other rooms had been.
The guide had great knowledge of New Zealand, and was fun to be with. The bus driver had the bus clean and read more sanitized every morning to have a clean germ free environment to travel in. The only thing is a stay of two nights in spots where there are a lot of activities would had made the journey better. Overall the tour was excellent and would recommend AAT Kings to other people.

I like small group travel and somehow that got lost in my booking process. There were 44 of us, Far too many, although it was a very good prompt group, except for one couple - there's always one! So, no, I wouldn't book with this company again.
After lots of travel both here and overseas where I've experienced great guides, this one was not one of read more those; she needs a lot of coaching on how to use a microphone, her descriptions and advice re things to see and do in spare time were rambling and we learnt a lot about her family - not what I want to learn when travelling in a new area.

Gordon River cruise operator excellent from start to finish - best day, experienced crew, good meal on catamaran and knowledgeable guide.
We will definitely book with Global Journeys again in the future. We were made to feel special and all questions were answered thoroughly
This was a great tour, run by an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide and an excellent driver. We enjoyed everything about the trip, from comfortable accommodation, fabulous food, well planned excursions to some truly lovely and unique places. The booking process was simple and everything went to plan.
Our amazing guide Caroline looked after everyone exceptionally well. Her knowledge of the Island's history and the people was outstanding. So not only did we see the sights (and the extras Caroline was able to take us to), we got to "know" Tasmania.
The bus driver was excellent and the bus comfortable and perfectly clean at all times. All of the read more accommodation was of a high standard. Perhaps our only comment was that the Wrest in Hobart was a little too far from the city center for walking.
Optional excursions we found a bit disappointing. Cataract Gorge - the boat struggled through the mud around the wharf area then only spent a short time in the Gorge. Bicheno Penguins - a rushed visit. Wrong time of the year to visit, so only saw 3 penguins. Was looking forward to the penguin experience.
We would recommend travelling on an AAT Kings tour and booking with Global Journeys. Leanne and the online system made it easy to keep up with information and payments.

We covered a lot of ground and I learnt so much from our wonderful travel director Pete. We saw some amazing scenery (I loved the forests on the West Coast), stopped at some quirky little towns (Sheffield), and became better acquainted with the convict and aboriginal history of the island.
We were very well catered for with breakfast and dinner and read more most of the accommodation was very good. Best Western Launceston was my least favourite accommodation. I felt safe with our excellent driver Tom, even on those very winding roads. The 2 night stay in Launceston was most welcome and perhaps another 2 night stay could be included, or a full free day.
We had a minor hiccup with the change of starting hotel not noted on all the documents we received and my query via email to Global re this was not answered, although I had previously been notified of the change of venue. Some of our group initially went to the wrong hotel.
This tour is an excellent introduction to Tasmania and I am ready to return soon. AAT Kings take every opportunity to make every post a winner and I will travel with them again.

Excellent holiday, everything was well organized and would definetely book with Global Journeys again. Carolyn was a great tour guide and was always willing to help. Her commentary was very informative.
