What our clients are saying about their Short Break and City Break experiences
AAT Kings itinerary for this outback tour was thoughtfully planned. There were many opportunities to learn about Aboriginal culture and view spectacular scenery. We enjoyed getting to know our fellow travellers. Having some evenings free to dine without the group was appreciated. Highlights included "Under a Desert Moon", Field of Light Sunrise and read more Uluru Barbecue with star gazing. Walks along the creek bed at Kings Canyon, Kata Tjuta exploration, around base of Uluru and at Simpsons Gap provided ample photo opportunities. Accommodation at the three resorts was spacious and meals high quality.
Bus drivers/tour guides all knowledgeable. Perfect weather in early June for travel with warm days and no rain.

Our holiday on the Ghan was wonderful. The staff on the train were fantastic and I would give them 10 out of 10. My family and I were in carriage C1 and C2. Hannah is lovely and nothing is too much trouble for her to deal with. I have booked through her before, and definitely will again.
This was an amazing trip. Yarina Lodge is a wonderful place to go. Room facility is good and clean. A special praise to the staffs - the management, the restaurant, the kitchen, they are very attentive care. The guide is very professional, he customize programs according to your fitness level and requirement. This is a place for relaxation and also adventure.

The Indian Pacific - Perth To Sydney
Debbie and Warwick, NSW, Australia, Dec 2025
Once again Tracey helped us greatly with our booking. Prior to boarding the Indian Pacific at East Perth terminal, canapés and drinks were served on the platform. As it was a hot day it would have been preferred inside the terminal (air conditioned ). Once onboard the staff were excellent - friendly and helpful. Platinum cabin and service was great! read more Food was excellent too. On board entertainment was provided by a singer/musician who played in the various lounges throughout the journey. Excursions taken were excellent: Curious Kalgoorlie, star gazing at Cook, dinner at Seppeltsfield Winery(wonderful food pairing, dinner and musicians), walking tour with Shelita in Broken Hill(very entertaining and tasty canapés provided).
Journey overnight from Adelaide was a bit rocky due to the tracks otherwise the journey was very pleasant. Was a wonderful journey through varying scenery across Australia. Thank you Tracey & Global Journeys for another great holiday.

Gallipoli/Troy
Gallipoli Pilgrimage
Wayne and Cass, NSW, Australia, Nov 2025
Considering the distance from Istanbul to the Anzac sites (5 hours on a mini bus), it was absolutely fabulous. Pickup smooth, trip smooth, comfort stop half way, lunch plentiful, transition to guide smooth. 12 on our bus, Australian, Kiwi, Canadians. Our guide for the afternoon’s tour of WW1 sites was Burak, and he was pure gold. We stayed on for the read more second day (others headed straight back to Istanbul). Gorgeous half hour across the Dardanelles to the delightful surprise of Canakkale. Staff transitioning us across and to our hotel fantastic. We then bar hopped our night away and met the most wonderful Turkish people. Çanakkale was fantastic. Slow morning. Cafe hopped. Short (25 min) bus ride to the ruins of Troy - it was nice, but that’s all. Back across the Dardanelles and to our hotel in Istanbul by 9.30pm, which was ahead of schedule. If you must see Gallipoli, you also must have a night out in Canakkale. Glad we did it.
My first walking trip, but it won't be my last
Bruny Island (Long Weekend)
Georgie, QLD, Australia, Nov 2025
If you’re feeling like you need time to unwind, a bit of a challenge, a weekend away with the girls (or your partner), and some fresh air, then this getaway ticks all the boxes. This was my first walking trip, it was a great place to start, and hopefully the first of many. The three of us joined a group of 10. We were a little nervous at first, weren’t t read moreoo sure what to expect despite plenty of advice on how to prepare, and we all questioned our own fitness levels beforehand.
For this walk, you stay at the one campsite on Bruny island and only carry a day pack during the hikes. Most of the group had walking poles. They weren’t essential, but after borrowing them over the few days to test out, we could see how much they helped with stability, so they’ll be my next purchase for sure.
Our group, including our two Guides, gelled from Day One, and from there everything just flowed. We walked and chatted and shared all our meals together. The Guides were amazing, one leading, one trailing, always looking out for everyone, sharing insights about the local flora and fauna, and then somehow pulling together delicious three course dinners back at camp. Mornings included cooked breakfasts if you wanted them, or lighter options like fruit, yoghurt and cereal, plus packed lunches organised for the day.
The glamping tents were warm and comfortable, the showers looked out onto the bush, and the pace over the three days was challenging but very achievable. Best of all, you felt completely regenerated at the end of each day. I highly recommend this trip and can’t wait to do the next one.
