Oceania 12-Day Tours and Trips

Dave and Ash were perfect hosts, guides, commentators, drivers, chaperones, in fact,you name it they were it! From start to finish they were consummate professionals, courteous, polite, knowledgeable, amusing and perfect hosts in every way. They are superb ambassadors not just for AAT Kings but also, for the beautiful country of Australia! Every attraction on the tour was greeted with enthusiasm by our hosts and even a couple of trips that were in their 'infancy' on the schedule and didn't quite match the enormity and splendour of the other trips were very enjoyable due to their honesty, participation and support. Accommodation throughout was superb, ranging from luxury City hotels to a couple of much smaller out of the way motels that were still a very good standard and beautifully clean. Everywhere we went we were supplied with wonderful food at excellent venues and always with a smile. Great banter on board our bus was helped and in the main initiated by Dave and Ash and apart from a couple of 'old sticks in the mud' everyone joined in and made the very best of our time together. Would we return with AAT? Of course we would. Would we prefer to go with Dave and Ash? You bet your sweet 'Ash' we would!!! Thank you one and all. We will be back!

Your tour guide Liz was very knowledgeable,informative and helpful in all aspects of our journey.Driver Lance gave us an exceptionally smooth and safe journey. My only suggestion to improve the experience would be that name tags be supplied, tour guide Liz was able to remember all our names we had trouble among each other. I would have no hesitation recommending that tour to others.

This was our second Nat Geo tour experience and we loved them both. Great pick of scenic and cultural experiences, great guides and well located accommodations. This tour of New Zealand was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Our trip to Australia with Luxury Gold was an excellent experience, it was a very busy itinerary, but it allowed us to see a lot of what Australia has to offer. The whole schedule was put together exceptionally well, and our Tour Manager was very attentive and looked after us throughout the trip. Our favourite hotel was The Reef Hotel, The Langham was also exceptional. The only part we would change, would be the trip to the Yarra Valley in Melbourne, as the visit to the Chocolate experience was not for us. In hindsight we would rather have spent the day at leisure in Melbourne. Every other aspect of the trip was spot on, we loved it.

Our Tasmania round trip in January 2026 in a small group was the best experience ever. The group was 7to 4 people. Our tour leader was an expert and very professional and took us to many extra little stops. I would not hesitate to commend this wonderful experience

The land and cruise adventure a Fiji was absolutely breathtaking amazing and well thought out. I love the fact that things went very smoothly from start to finish, and I recommended it to so many people to take that opportunity.
