Wonderful trip 2
Charmaine Lang & Francis Wilcomes, NSW, Australia, Apr 2016
We had a lot of fun , met some wonderful people, it was very good holiday. We thank Global Journeys for their help in arranging this trip.
Wonderful holiday in Vietnam & Cambodia 3
Vietnam and Cambodia Discovery
Veronica Vergeer, WA, Australia, Apr 2016
I had an absolutely wonderful holiday. I have booked twice before with Global Journeys and I would not hesitate to do so again. Nothing is too much trouble and everything went smoothly. We had a mixture of age groups and everyone gelled very well. I would suggest if going to Cambodia that maybe a cooler time of year would be better than the 44 degree heat we had.
Interesting time in Asia 5
Vietnam and Cambodia Grand Tour
Neil & Jacqueline Tuckwell, WA, Australia, Mar 2016
We should have chosen a different time to go. End of the dry season meant Cambodia was very dry and dusty and the cruise itinerary had to be changed because of low water so we missed the lake of Tonle Sap. The rice paddies of Sapa were bare so not at their best. We had been to Vietnam before and were very disappointed at what was missed in Hanoi read more and Saigon. The day from Ha Long Bay to Hoi An and Hoi An to Hue were very long. Our tour guide Hung was exceptional.
I had a few reservations before going to SE Asia feeling that this region was out of my comfort zone. This was our first tour and I have to say it was the best holiday I have ever had! I loved every minute of it and couldn't fault anything - except perhaps that we were all caught out by exceptionally cold weather in Hanoi and froze in our summer clothes! read more I really feel that I have the travel bug now and can't wait to peruse the options for another tour next year ( and the year after.....). Loved it!!
Happy Anniversary 2
Chris & Hugh Watt, NSW, Australia, Feb 2016
We booked our South Island tour because the date of our 2 night stay at The Hermitage at Mount Cook coincided with our 50th wedding anniversary. We had always said that one day we would stay at the Hermitage and the date of the stay at Mount Cook firmed our plans to join the South Island tour. We had a wonderful tour and we were impressed with every read more part of our tour and the professional attitude of both the Tour leader and the driver who kept the coach immaculately clean both inside and out. We have now decided that we must go back and visit the North Island.
Our trip with APT through Vietnam and Cambodia was a real eye opener. Accommodation was first class, tour operators and guides were excellent. My favourite part of the tour was our two days on Ha Long Bay, it is such a spectacular sight and to top it off we had New Years Eve on board which was greatly enjoyed. The river cruise was lovely but the poverty read more and the history that we heard was a bit depressing. Our hotels in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh city and Siem Reap were wonderful. Both boats, Ha Long Bay and Mekong River were excellent and the service and staff were wonderful.
The entire APT tour exceed our expectations. The highlight of the tour was in Whistler were it snowed during our stay and New years eve in Jasper. Our tour Director Brad Goessler was exceptional...extremely, informative, humorous, friendly , knowledgeable & professional and above all, an excellent tour guide who is well worthy of a special mention. read more We would have no hesitation in recommending Global Journeys or APT as a tour operator to our friends & colleagues.
The Tour Director and the coach driver were excellent. The information, history of Tasmania given during the drive time was informative, very interesting. We had a wonderful weather along the way. The highlights for me were Cradle Mountain and the Tall ancient forest, where one could explore alone, and truly hear the silence. Just awesome. The Gordon read more river cruise is something else to remember. It was a relatively small group of 24, the share accommodation was very good, having met another like minded person. The hotels were excellent with comfortable beds and all with it. The breakfasts were plentiful along with all other meals provided. Visit to the Chocolate Factory was interesting and informative, so was the lavender farm. All in all very good, recommend to go along.
APT Vietnam and Cambodia river tour covered everything needed for an amazing getaway. The staff were lovely, the food and accommodation were tops. The added excursions were interesting and varied with good, understandable guides. We met great people and laughed a lot. We would recommend this tour and with APT to anyone who asks us. Our flights pre-booked read more for us with Singapore Airways was also top notch. Nothing was left for us to do except the Vietnam visa and to enjoy our getaway.
APT Tasman Templation 2
Carol Ward, Australia, Dec 2015
Really enjoyed Port Arthur, would have liked an extra day there. When booking twin accommodation often we had a king or queen bed and a single. When paying a fair amount for a tour would have been good not to have had to sleep in a single bed.
Cruise control 1
Cruise control, VIC, Australia, Oct 2015
We're gradually coming down to earth after the most wonderful trip of a lifetime. It was a busy time taking in the sights and the activities offered but somehow you manage! Our Cruise Manager did an excellent job and was always on hand to provide any information/assistance required. The guides on the coaches (and their drivers) were very courteous and read more provided interesting historical backgrounds of their respective regions/countries. For us the experience sailing on a 5-star cruise ship with its friendly and efficient crew was the highlight; and being entertained by the local folk groups was a real bonus and added to the warm and friendly atmosphere on board Only a few hiccups for us - on arrival at our hotel in Istanbul, we didn't receive information on how to contact our Cruise Manager, and we were unaware of the 'Welcome Cocktail Party'. We were not able to pre-book the optional tours on line. (But did manage to go on most tours of our choice). We would highly recommend this cruise and appreciate Yvonne's commitment through Global Journeys in organising everything for us.
Great support from Yvonne of Global Journeys. Excellent web based system to follow our booking and retrieve information. APT's tour of Vietnam and Cambodia was first class. Care and attention at all points for the three week tour of Vietnam and Cambodia.
First we would like to express a grand thank you to Hannah Campbell, for her professionalism in handling our booking in a personal, kind way. APT is number one in making touring first class in every detail.
Excellent tour 2
Waldo Lutz & Brenda Lutz, NSW, Australia, Oct 2015
Excellent tour. Although Fairmont Peace is in an excellent location, I would not rate this as a 5 star. Housekeeping fair and food cold at breakfast. There was no choice how you would like your eggs and they were ice cold every morning. Raffles and Sofitel outstanding.
Another excellent APT holiday 1
Vietnam and Cambodia Grand Tour
Beverley & Kenneth, WA, Australia, Oct 2015
Another excellent APT holiday and a wonderful first experience with Global Journeys. A big thanks to Hannah for being so professional and efficient. An amazing achievement for APT, a first class adventure in a third world country. Has opened our eyes to the true beauty of Vietnam and Cambodia and it's people. For my husband, going to Long Tan was read more the main focus of this trip, to pay his respects to his best friend who lost his life there. Ken got to lay a wreath and have some time to reflect on their mateship, something he had wanted to do for many years. Thanks to APT for this heartfelt day. Will definitely contact Hannah when booking our next holiday!
Found the cruise to be very professionally run 1
Magnificent Europe
Craig Sedgmen & Debbie McKay, VIC, Australia, Oct 2015
We found the cruise to be very professionally run. One of the best things was knowing that we had paid for everything and there would be no surprises at the end. We would love to have had a dance floor on the ship. We had a great time on our holiday and would love to do another river cruise.
Local tour guides were all really good and well informed 2
Magnificent Europe
Sue Turner, WA, Australia, Oct 2015
Internet very bad on ship. That was the only real complaint. The tour director Colin was excellent and the local tour guides were all really good and well informed. Could be better to have a few more mini buses for some of the outings for oldies.
Once again thanks to Global Journeys for managing our booking and to APT for there expertise in providing a complete worry free cruising holiday. We had a good mix of travellers every one get on very well , this was our first cruise experience and we were not disappointed, with a very committed professional cruised guide that made sure that every thing read more was just right. Also a thank you to the cabin and dinning room staff very good.
If you want to see South America, take this tour 1
Allen & Lorraine Rowbotham, QLD, Australia, Sep 2015
As you were aware were not at all pleased with the APT Vietnam & Cambodia Tour which we took recently however, this trip was the difference between chalk and cheese. The tour was well paced, the accommodation was five star plus and the sites we visited were much more than one expects when only pictures have been seen. Our Tour Director, Patriccio Thijssen read more was superb and went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had an enjoyable time and, in my case went even further out of his way to ensure my comfort and enjoyment. If you want to see the differing sides of South America, take this tour, you will not be disappointed. Our thanks are also due to Global Journeys for setting up out tour at very short notice.
We had been wanting to go on a European river cruise for a number of years and we finally had the time to go. It certainly didn't disappoint. We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious, there was a wonderful selection of wines on board and the staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. The scenery, the on board entertainment and the freedom read more of choice excursions were sensational - all the guides were knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. The cabin was comfortable and clean. We can't recommend the trip and the service we received from Georgie at Global Journeys highly enough. We are now looking forward to our next APT trip and will definitely have Global Journeys organise it for us.
