25 Day Canada and Alaska Tour with APT 1
Bruce, QLD, Australia, Aug 2019
This was a wonderful holiday resulting in great memories of beautiful scenery, wildlife sightings, unimaginable experiences, delicious food and beautiful people. Seamless process from booking this holiday to execution. The holiday lived up to the descriptions and expectations. The wet weather (on some days) only added to the atmosphere of the locations. read more How magical to see the clouds descend and obscure the mountains only to rise again sometime later to reveal a natural beauty.
Our tour director was a true gem offering insightful knowledge, helpful suggestions. We were able to slip into holiday mode and let someone else worry about the itinerary, gratuities and so forth, the only decision we had to make was what to eat! Our coach driver in Canada was experienced and delivered a smooth and relaxed ride. The coach was first class and was kept in excellent condition - windows were cleaned every morning and interior was spotless.

We found Juliet (from Global Journeys) to be very helpful and answered all questions even when we were the ones unsure. She had a bright sunny personality. Her advice was helpful regarding visas and helped us even when APT didn’t help. Would use Global Journeys again if we book another trip.
