What our clients are saying about their recent guided touring experiences
Wonderful Music Tour Chicago to New Orleans Rhythms of the RoadDawn, NSW, Australia, May 2026
The sights and sounds exceeded my expectations and all on board seemed to be having a wonderful time. The coach driver Was excellent as was the tour guide. The hotels were of good standing in good locations.The hand made modern quilt museum at Paducah excellent and a ride inside the St Louis Arch amazing.
Grace was very helpful in arranging the booking and final details. We had a group of 18 on our tour. We saw a lot of interesting places which were definitely worth visiting and it was an unexpected delight to see Lake Eyre full of water. The flies were bad, so a fly net is recommended even for April/May, and we only received an email from the AAT read more King tour guide about it after we had arrived there. Wilpena Pound and Arkaroola were definite highlights and extra nights there would have been desirable in hindsight. The 4WD jeep tour at Arkaroola accessed a very remote area and was spectacular. There were too many fries served at lunches and dinners (even at the winery lunch) for my liking, and I feel that the preordered meals lacked details (ie, chicken, beef, vegetarian). It would help if vegetarian indicated is it rice, pasta, salad? especially for the cost of the trip. Most breakfasts were at 7 am and departures at 745 am so there were no super early departure times. And Coober Pedy is definitely worth visiting.
America's Historic East Tour By Bus America's Historic EastRoger and Ellen, United Kingdom, May 2026
The trip was organised excellently, starting in Washington DC, visiting Mount Vernon, then Williamsburg, Richmond , Shenandoah National Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the battlefield at Gettysburg, Valley Forge National Park and ending in Philadelphia. The tour guide, Patrick Neilson, was excellent. He was inclusive with all passengers, thoughtful read more and caring, a mine of information and both pleasant and amusing at all times. The bus was in perfect condition and Michael, the driver, was highly skilled in his job, coupled with a pleasing, polite and friendly manner. The accommodation at each stop was first class, with very good service. We have learnt a lot of American history on this trip, particularly the Revolution and colonial times, but also about the historic Civil War battlefield at Gettysburg. The trip was excellent and is highly recommended by us.
The south island of New Zealand is just beautiful. We travelled over 2,500 km in 14 days, so we did see a lot of it. We really enjoyed seeing the small towns where we stopped for breaks along the way. The free time we had, to do our own thing, was great.
Thoroughly enjoyed travelling by train around Switzerland with Cosmos as it was uncomplicated, experienced tour leader, good numer of passangers (had 26 - max is 31) relaxing, amazing scenery as we were extremely fortunate to have great weather.
While the days on the bus were long, regular stops were made. Tour was one day on bus then one day in the destination city. Included city tours were good. We did most of the optional experiences and these were all excellent. Some hotels were below expected standard.
