Denise & Kevin, NSW, Australia, Feb 2018
We would definitely book through Global Journeys again. Madeline Lewis made our tour exciting from our first contact. She answered our questions promptly and kept us informed. Thank you Madeline for all your help.
Our Tour Operator, AAT Kings, Tour Guide and Driver were professional and both the guide and driver had a great sense of humour which read more helped to make us and all our fellow passenger comfortable with them and each other. The accommodation and meals were varied and good quality. The scenery must be seen to be believed and I think we all fell in love with the mountains. Our only regret (not a complaint) was that the short stops were not a little longer.
All round it was a wonder-filled holiday.

Good holiday until I had to pull out due to previous accident 2

Liz was very good.The tour started off bad for me first i had a bad fall prior to boarding the plane in Perth, we were delayed one hour and I wasn’t met in Brisbane. I enjoyed the tour until I had to pull out with knee pain. Was sorry to leave as I am sure that the rest of the tour was very good. Thanks for all the help I received. If I travel again read more I will contact Global Journeys again. Thanks Jemma.
My daughter and I went on the 17day NZ coach trip on AAT Kings which incorporated both islands of the country. We thoroughly enjoyed each day. The group was cohesive and we met some lovely people. The tour director Aaron and the driver, Mike, were great ambassadors for their country. Having cruised to NZ many times, the coach trip was a way to see more read more deeply into this beautiful country. We would highly recommend this tour.
Global Journeys, in particular Yvonne Brooks, made the whole process simple. Her communication was friendly and personal. She returned emails promptly. I have already booked another Global Journeys tour with Yvonne and if she reads this and calls me back, I will have another destination for her to organise!!!!

Good value. Well organised. Excellent tour director and coach driver. My fellow travellers - all whom I met for the first time on the trip - seemed to also enjoy the experience. Overall, well worth it.
Coach crew were very good and accommodation & food were also very good. We would definitely travel with AAT Kings again. We were lucky as the weather was good in December too.
Organisation of our trip with Global Journeys was very good. Other passengers were a good group. Overall, no complaints. Thanks for a good travel experience.

Worry free holiday from Sydney to Melbourne 1
Southern Capitals: City Meets Bush
Rosemary, East Sussex, United Kingdom, Nov 2017
Thoroughly enjoyed this trip, Especially the visit to Craig's sheep farm. The meal he put on for us and his talk on sheep rounding up and shearing were great and the place had a pleasant welcoming, homely feel. Immersing ourselves in the history of Ned Kelly and his gang as we visited the places where his story took place really made us feel the harshness read more of the times when they lived and how injustice could soon turn to tragedy. Unfortunately, heavy rain in Melbourne dampened the last day of the trip curtailing excursions but then we can't order the weather. Travelling by coach certainly teaches you the distances and nature of the terrain journeyed over.
Well organised. Would have liked rooms with a good view in Hobart ( Grand chancellor very noisy) to start the holiday. We did the alcohol history of Hobart tour which was quite a disappointment - tastings were so stingy you could hardly taste the whisky or gin. Food was good, however prefer the set meals rather than the buffets.
Guide - very knowledgeable - hotels - good including breakfast - pace - suitable to most people's ability -
rotation system - great, never seen this before and gives everyone a chance not only to sit in best seats but to
meet all the other passengers.

Tasmanian Wonders
Rondha, QLD, Australia, Nov 2017
Tasmania put on some wonderful weather for us and we were fortunate to visit places which would be inaccessible in bad weather. Accommodation on the whole was good. Very impressed with accommodation, meals and service at Bicheno.
Top class driver - Tom. Coach always clean - even the tyres. Some optional excursions were difficult to see where the read more value was particularly the afternoon delight Tamar River cruise. Overall rating is very good with the best of Tasmania on show together with genial company and great commentary from the tour director.

Whole tour was very enjoyable. Accommodation was first class. I was a single traveller and my room mate was very good. No problems. The world heritage areas were spectacular including Cradle Mountain where the Chalet has an very interesting history which was very well explained. The tour guide was brilliant and her ability to impart the history of read more the Murder of the Aborigines, and the cruelty to the convicts, was appreciated . My fellow travellers were all kind and courteous.
This was the perfect tour for us. The 4WD tour was excellent. Rich was a passionate guide and got us climbing the rocks to see some awesome rock art. This was done at a leisurely pace and no question was stupid. Beautiful lunch by a billabong. Croc hotel was a good base for this tour as well and food was reasonably priced. We also did the scenic flight read more on the first morning and was dropped off at Jabiru Airport and flew over Kakadu to Cooinda where we met the coach again to do the Yellow River tour. We would recommend doing this flight as it really puts everything into perspective. The river cruise on the last day was also a highlight and the number of crocs by Cahill crossing really opened your eyes. We would thoroughly recommend doing this tour.
A busy but rewarding and fulfilling tour. AAT and staff were brilliant, particularly the small female bus driver (Monica), wow, some of the tight squeezes she manoeuvred the bus into, many would not have fitted a car!!! Overall brilliant, so will just mention the couple of low lights. New room access cards used at one motel, didn't work, and many read more had trouble with them, and lift situation at one motel was woeful, it took 45 minutes for the last of our 48 crew to get into a lift to get to their room after a long day.
Great taste of southeast WA! Many kilometres covered by an excellent driver. The guide was very informative and entertaining - aiming for all to enjoy their holiday. Wonderful variety from Monkey Mia to the Giant Trees and across to Esperance and Kalgoorlie. A highlight was Wave Rock and the lady who fostered local tourism there in an environmental read more way - a most interesting character.
Impressed with AAT Kings organisation. Overall the hotel accommodation was good and the meals provided were of good quality. Main complaint was that there were no separate shower recesses - only shower over baths. I find it difficult to get in and out of baths. Perhaps when filling in future details there be space to check that need.
Relaxing way to experience the best of Tasmania. 5
Tasmanian Wonders
Bruno & Emila, NSW, Australia, Sep 2017
A great coach tour which comprehensively covered Tasmania. The well planned itinerary showed us much of the beauty of Tasmania and the character of it's people. The hotels and included meals were all very good. Our tour director Margaret and driver Tom were world class, keeping us well informed, entertained and safe. Global Journeys were again very read more helpful - thanks Madeline. Our highlight was the snow dump that greeted us at the Cradle Mountain hotel. The only thing we didn't like is the very steep middle steps on the new AAT coach (front ones were a bit better).
Well organised. 2

Well organised independent look at Far North Queensland. Tours to Cape Tribulation, the Reef andKurunda were well designed to experience the areas in a short amount of time. Accommodation excellent!
Very memorable trip. 1
Kakadu & Arnhem Land Explorer
Susan, Cherie & Susan, NSW, Australia, Aug 2017
What a great time we have just had at Kakadu/Arnhem land. The drivers were outstanding, the scenery and wildlife spectacular. Accommodation a little tired but fitted the purpose. Overall fantastic.
We had the best trip thanks to AAT Kings and our wonderful Tour director Dave and Best bus driver Warren. They made our trip trouble free and everything ran to plan. They do a fantastic job and Daves knowledge is unbelievable. The places we stayed were wonderful and the food was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed the outback show in Katherine. The read more flight over the Bungle bungles was a special treat.
As it was our first time to Kakadu we found it to be very enjoyable, covering all aspects that was of interest in that part of the country, our first day lunch time was cut a bit short but I understand the distance that had to be travelled. Overall a most enjoyable trip.
