Heads are still spinning from this amazing holiday 2 Carol & Peter Hyde, Australia, Apr 2014
We would thoroughly recommend the 29 Day Eastern Canada, Rockies Explorer and Alaska cruise which we have just completed with APT. It was more expensive than most holidays that we have been on, but as far as value for money it could not have been better. The accommodation, meals, included activities and service was first class all the way. We saw glaciers, ...read more whales, snow capped mountains from a helicopter, views of Victoria from a sea plane and the list goes on. It was when we were having a Bailey's at 9.30am on the Rocky Mountaineer Gold Class train that we realised that we were definitely on a special holiday. We booked our trip through Global Journeys, and would definitely recommend them to friends, and we would use them again. The information that we were given, and the prompt replies for our questions were all very much appreciated, and our documentation was all in order and on time. Our heads are still spinning from this amazing holiday, so our thanks go to APT and Global Journeys for putting it all together.
