Amazing Tuscan Adventure
Tuscan & Umbrian Countryside
Katie and John, PA, United States, May 2026
We booked this tour because it had all the areas of Umbria and Tuscany that we wanted to visit. Collette is an excellent company, and we thought that every detail was well planned. We definitely got the experience we desired.
Fantastic Lake Eyre and Flinders Ranges
Lake Eyre and Flinders Ranges
Robert and Denise, QLD, Australia, May 2026
It was the trip of a lifetime. Lake Eyre lived up to its reputation and the Flinders Ranges were spectacular, with an amazing flight over Wilpena Pound. Meals were first class. The coach, operated by Gary. Was top notch. We couldn’t drive on two sections of the roads but APT chartered two planes on two occasions. Hannah from Globus is very professional and friendly.
Grand Pacific Luxury Small Group 9 Day North Island May 2026
Ultimate North Island
Janine, VIC, Australia, May 2026
This was my second trip with Grand Pacific, previously toured South Island May 2024, again luxury small group tour. Top quality company, luxury coaches and good itineraries. Great for singles and couples alike. Seat rotation is fabulous. I would've liked to have had time to enjoy a hot pool spa experience in Rotorua (although the hotel did have read more a small one) and a little more time in Wellington. But that means I can do another trip either alone or find a tour to do the things I want to do. No crowds, no rushing, great hotels/accommodation. Personal insight during the trip with a great coach captain. Highly recommend. Weather was great - a little rain on arrival in Bay of Islands and Napier.
Ultimate North Island. 12-20th May
Ultimate North Island
Ian Gates, VIC, Australia, May 2026
In reviewing this trip, all I can say, is that all the arrangements that were made beforehand, the itinerary, places to visit , excursions, the accommodation, the number of people in the group, were all first class, including the coach captain. Everything went like clockwork, as smooth as anything. All our needs, information, everything we needed, was read more given with the least amount of fuss. I could not recommend the trip highly enough. As for Georgina's handling of my booking, that was mostly done by Hannah, but I am sure Georgina would have handled my booking in the same professional way as Hannah did . Thanks again for a wonderful trip, an experience I will never forget.

From the start Grace was very helpful with our booking. Our trip itself was absolutely fantastic and we would highly recommend it. We felt so lucky the whole trip. We felt that travelling mid to late May was the perfect time to travel. The country was so lush and green and there was so many beautiful flowers to be seen, plus so much water in all the read more falls, yet we were earlier enough in the season to be ahead of most travellers as some roads were not yet open after such a late wet season. On that note we were absolutely delighted when APT flew our whole group from Drysdale station to their lodge at Mitchel Plateau as the road in was not open. The next day they then helicoptered the group up to the Mitchell falls and back again, as the walking track was also closed. This by itself ensured that we will be choosing to travel with APT for our future trips.
We were also lucky enough to be on a trip with two guides, Kylie and Dean. We are aware that other trips only had one guide. We feel having two guides added so much to our trip in a number of ways.
Firstly it allowed the driver (mainly Dean) to concentrate on driving, while the other guide (Kylie) did an outstanding job of setting a very happy and respectful tone on the bus. . She had obviously done an incredible amount of research which she shared with us daily about geographical features, cultural issues, and fauna and flora. This was interspersed with a couple of fun games and some music while giving enough quiet time for us to chat between ourselves or just take in the scenery.
The bus was always immaculately clean every morning and plenty of snacks made available to eat while on the bus.
Having the second guide also meant we felt a lot safer on our walks, with one guide leading the way while the other guide was at the rear helping those in the group who were a little slower or needed a bit more help to negotiate any tricky parts. All together this made for an amazing trip!

Interesting and mostly enjoyable tour.
Magical Japan
John and Renette, VIC, Australia, May 2026
The tour started well with the efficient pick up at the airport and the first 2 nights in a great hotel in Tokyo. The welcome dinner was not up to scratch, but our tour guide helped things along with attentive service. The bus and following few days were all great with glimpses of Japanese life and country. Should have stopped for view of Mt Fuji, not read more a glimpse as the bus rushed by. Mostly the hotels were good quality but for at least 3 nights they were less than 4 stars, not the premium as promised. Included lunches and dinners were good, albeit some at venues a long way from the accommodation. The bullet train was an experience but the other train journey on the last day was a waste of time. Seemed we did the same things X3 (temples/shrine, Japanese lunch/dinner/ bus ride with flashes of scenery)
