The Amazing Kimberley   2 , NSW, Australia, Aug 2022
The cruise on the Caledonian Sky was once again a wonderful adventure. This was the fourth time we have travelled on this ship. Previously we had toured with Noble Caledonian tours and we can honestly say that the service from the expedition team and hotel staff was the same which was of high quality The highlight of the trip was Montgomery's reef. ...read more If you thinking of taking this trip it would be better at the end of the wet season as when we where there in September the waterfalls were dry but the landscape was beautiful. The knowledge of the expedition team was fantastic.

The only negative was that on arrival in Broome we had not been booked into the hotel that we originally booked and paid for due to confusion between Oaks and APT but the staff of Oaks Cable Beach were able to organise with Oaks Town for us to stay with them sat the Oaks Cable Beach Sanctuary. Thank you Rachael from Oaks Cable Beach.
Kimberley 4WD Tour & Horizontal Falls   0 , WA, Australia, Aug 2022
A wonderful experience to see the Kimberley's via the Gibb River Road. A great 14 days and a wonderful driver / guide full of knowledge of surrounding areas and all the flora and fauna. Horizontal falls was a really wonderful trip not to be missed, and great food throughout.
Kimberley Cruise   1 , WA, Australia, Aug 2022
We had a wonderful time on the Kimberley cruise. The Caledonian Sky was very comfortable, the meals and drinks were first rate and the crew were excellent, very attentive and always polite. Overall, we’d give it 10 out of 10.
Long awaited river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest   3 , NSW, Australia, Aug 2022
A very enjoyable trip dispite the low river levels and the need to change ships. The scenery and Signature experiences were wonderful and well organised. Great mix of fellow passengers and everyone looked out for each other. Found the food choices a little disappointing. Presented lovely, but found it largely very bland and not a lot of variety. ...read more Fellow passengers who had done the trip before expressed the view that it was not up to the standard of their original trip and I think there was a general view that standards had slipped. Perhaps that was a result of COVID affecting the staffing levels or general cost cutting. Would like to see a wider range of wines and food selections, but overall we had a great time. Hannah at Global Journeys was as always, helpful, timely and obliging.
Exceptional Canadian Rockies tour     1 , NSW, Australia, Aug 2022
The scenery was superb throughout the trip. The travel group was full of friendly like-minded travellers. Interesting optional activities included in package. I sometimes opted for more than one activity at my cost.
FNQ Glimpses   0 , QLD, Australia, Aug 2022
The small group, comfortable travel and easy support of the tour director and driver made the trip a happy experience for the participants. Each place visited had plenty to see and do with a range of interests catered for. Having nights free was a bonus for the range of people on the tour.
APT Prague to Paris   1 , SA, Australia, Aug 2022
Georgie from Global Journeys has supported us to book our past three adventures and I hope will continue to support us into the future. Georgie has efficiently and effectively managed a large range of silly questions from me, without batting an eyelid (at least not that I can see) and has always been very helpful. She responds quickly to my enquiries ...read more and has negotiated many situations with tour providers or has clearly and quickly advised that what I was requesting was not doable.

We are and have always been happy to have Georgie there and look forward to working with Georgie and the Global Journeys team on future bookings.
Wonderful tour of Central Australia     0 , QLD, Australia, Aug 2022
This was a great itinerary, allowing us to see many of the outback's natural beauty and scenery, at our leisure. There were so many highlights throughout this tour, but special mention of the scenic flight over Lake Eyre and the helicopter over the Lost City in the Lorella Springs Wilderness Park. The accommodation and meals quality ranged from 5 star ...read more to lower, depending on the remoteness of the locations. However this was to be expected in some areas. August was a good time to visit, as the days were not too hot, especially when heading north. It was chilly in the early mornings and evenings, in the south and central parts, but we were advised about that.

We were lucky with a good mix of fellow passengers who got along very well. The duffle bags provided by APT made it easy for everyone to pack their luggage neatly into, as well as transport to and from the bus. A top job by our APT tour team (Tony and Linda Goodlet) with their easy style of interaction as well as being well organised, genuinely friendly and knowledgeable. We would have no hesitation in recommending APT tours to everyone.

Thank you to Tracey Standing from Global Journeys for your professionalism and helpfullness throughout the process of booking our holiday and keeping us up to date along the way. Our booking started with you over 2 years ago during the difficult covid lockdowns, when we were supposed to be travelling to Canada/Alaska. Our Central Australia tour was wonderful and we are still keen on booking the Canada/Alaska tour with you, when hopefully the world settles down.
Kimberley and the Top End, July 2022   0 , NSW, Australia, Jul 2022
APT is well organised. Accomodation and meals well catered. Highly recommended, both APT and Global Journeys. Every one should see these regions of Australia. It is a wonderful experience.
The amazing Aussie north west   0 , VIC, Australia, Jul 2022
When my partner first suggested the idea of travelling to the Kimberley’s I was hesitant. All I could think of was red dust & camping which is not my cup of tea. Well I was pleasantly surprised yes there was plenty of red dust & camping but not the way I know it. We stayed in luxurious APT glamping style tents with ensuites & high quality beds. It was ...read more a real adventure holiday with plenty of walks through gorges, tunnels, seeing waterfalls, swimming in rivers, the list goes on. The food was of high restaurant quality with professional chefs.

The whole APT staff were very accommodating & friendly. A special mention to our fearless leader/guide, Taimi, who drove over rough roads, through river crossings whilst giving us a commentary. She was always friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We were fortunate to be travelling with a great bunch of people who were fun & funny. We would highly recommend this experience and we are so glad we did this wonderful trip.
Beautiful Bungle Bungles   0 , New South Wales, Australia, Jul 2022
Just returned from a 9 day trip of the Kimberley’s. Beautiful, breathtaking and wonderful. Booked through Global Journeys over 3 years ago with COVID delays and Hannah Campbell navigated us through all the delays and rebooking with expertise. We travelled with APT, who didn’t quite deliver on the promoted itinerary, which was disappointing. However, ...read more Trish and Ellie - our Driver-Tour Guides we’re absolutely amazing and managed several curve balls with outstanding customer service and a smile. A great trip.
Well organized Tour Experience   0 , QLD, Australia, Jul 2022
With regards to the accommodation, the APT Lodges were the best with some outstanding meals. Scott our Guide/Driver was exceptional with his knowledge, skill, and attention to our needs. The bus was very comfortable and very suitable for the dirt roads. Again, we thank Global Journeys and APT for all the care given to us. People need to take seriously ...read more the fitness level required because some of the walks were strenuous and a few people had falls or needed assistance getting over rocks and along tracks. With regards to the accommodation, the APT Lodges were the best with some outstanding meals. We would definitely travel with APT, especially if Global Journeys arranged our booking!
Kimberley Gampling with APT   0 , WA, Australia, Jul 2022
Apart from the initial issue with pick up from hotels which impacted most on our trip, the trip surpassed all our expectations and this was largely due to great APT tour guide Nick who made the trip a memorable one. The camping arrangement were excellent together with the evening dinning. I would highly recommend the trip to the Kimberley’s with AP ...read moreT.
Kimberley wilderness adventures and top end cruise by APT   1 , NSW, Australia, Jul 2022
We feel very privilege to be able to get on the cruise after 2 years of restrictions and COVID 19 lockdowns. it was a wonderful adventure which has been carefully planned by a group of scientists employed by Ponant , we had a meeting in the evening to review what we saw during our expeditions by zodiac during the day and the following day programs, ...read more very rare experience of the country. the scenery of ancient rock formation and old history and rock arts of first nation, the fresh warm air and pristine water make this trip a very memorable one. We enjoyed the 5-7 course meals (French cuisine) every day for 11 days!
Kimberley Complete   0 , QLD, Australia, Jun 2022
The Kimberley's, what a vast and wonderful part of our country. Don't miss the Bungle Bungles and all the springs in the area. The worst part of the holiday was the APT camps and the meals, and homesteads, the evening meals were cold.
Fabulous Kimberley cruise   1 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2022
We thoroughly enjoyed our Kimberley cruise. The crew were lovely, and efficient, and the expedition team were great… very knowledgeable and helpful. The cabin was spacious and comfortable. The food was great.. with lots of variety, but also not huge portion sizes ( which I appreciated ). We did have a few COVID cases on board… but the Captain was very ...read more good with keeping us informed on what was happening. A great and comfortable way to see the Kimberley coast.
Central to South Explorer with Kangaroo Island - Ultimate Iconic Australian Tour!!   0 , QLD, Australia, Jun 2022
This tour by APT provided some of those 'Outstanding' life experiences. The booking process and care via Tracey and Global Journeys proved to be an invaluable start.

As a first-time traveller to the outback, who knew the drive from the airport to town of Yulara would see us pass 'the Rock'! On arrival we met our driver/guide Kym who shared his love ...read more of this wonderful country. He proved to be a congenial host and knowledgeable resource with very capable hands behind the wheel in such isolated areas.

For a journey that included Uluru in its glory at both dawn and dusk to Coober Pedy and back to the Flinstone's era; William Creek where we met Trevor Wright who developed a thriving community; the fascinating and hospitable Birdsville Hotel with nearby Diamantina River; a flight over a full Lake Eyre teeming with birdlife; time through Wilpena Pound and their efforts to cultivate local flora and fauna; then via Claire Valley to Adelaide and time at Kangaroo Island - meeting the locals, especially the sea lions in their home environment.

An unexpected highlight was a visit to Parachilna (north of Adelaide) and the Prairie Hotel (a real gem with fabulous luncheon cuisine and hospitality). Obviously travelling in such remote areas everything can't be perfect and the Maree Hotel fitted the bill - not just basic, make sure you take your own soap. Something most impressive was for the number of travellers that pass this way, there was no litter - making the journey extra special. Highly recommend!!
A Wonderful Holiday   0 , NSW, Australia, Jun 2022
The highlight of the holiday for us was the included plane flight to Birdsville were we had lunch then on the return trip fly over Lake Eyre. Seeing all the water come down the rivers then filling the flood planes is incredible. Then seeing the contrast of the dessert either side is amazing. Much better way to visit Birdsville than driving the Birdsville ...read more Track. We saw a wonderful sunrise and sunset at Marree. Our 4WD bus was comfortable and gave us a good view as we travelled on our journey.

Our additional flight over Wilpena Pound was incredible and a vast contrast to the first flight. Glad we did it. The tourist industry is still recovering from COVID and there were a few little glitches along the way but these were fixed very quickly. Everyone along the way were happy to see us and help us out. Thanks Georgie for organising this trip for us. We have already booked another trip with Global Journeys and APT.
Tour of a Life Time     0 , Bavaria, Germany, Jun 2022
I have just returned from my unforgettable trip through Australia. The Kimberley and the Top End tour was just stunning. It was the tour of a life time, absolutely fantastic in every respect. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful, walking through gorges, swimming in billabongs, sleeping in luxurious APT bush camps and amazing food in the middle of ...read more nowhere. Seeing Australia's wildlife and nature, the countryside's diversity by boat and helicopter was just unbelievably beautiful.

We were a lovely group of 16 people, all Australians apart from me. We got on very well and we had lots of fun. Beginning of June was a perfect time as we were fortunate enough to still see lots of waterfalls and crossing quite a few creeks. Our guide Leigh was great with an extensive knowledge of the outback, aboriginal rock art and the culture of the Aboriginal people. Our bus was the most immaculate one in the whole of the Kimberley considering travelling on dirt tracks for over 3,000 kilometres. The Kimberley is a special place which every Australian should experience and book through Global Journeys. My special thanks to Georgie who was easy to communicate with and helpful at all times. Thank you so much.
Central Australian Discovery   0 , NSW, Australia, May 2022
Really disappointed the itinerary in Uluru was changed to jam 2 days of original itinerary into one day. This stopped me being able to walk around Uluru, also gave limited time to explore the Olgas. To do the rim walk at Kings Canyon you had to depart the motel in the dark at 6am. Days on the 'truck' as the guide called it, were long, that was to be ...read more expected but we had days when we were not even told where or when the next comfort stop would be, sometimes driving for 3 hours with no word from Driver or Guide. I would have expected more commentary on the area we were travelling thru. Very rushed tour, poor value for money, most people on the tour felt the same. We would arrive at our destination, eat, sleep & move on early the next day. No time to look around. Very limited free time.
