Oceania Food 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!

Overall we all had great time, a memorable trip with unique experience from watching sheep shearing demonstration to wool making. There’s last changes that we weren’t sure why. Felt a bit rushed on the last couple days at Adelaide. Overall it’s great tour. We enjoyed watching penguins coming out of the ocean at Phillip island although the weather was kind of wild but that’s what made it very memorable, Kangaroo island was nice too. I wished to have more time to enjoy watching kangaroos at Naracoorte right after we came out of the cave. That’s the only place we could see kangaroos from closer distance. We saw only 2 kangaroos from a distant at Adelaide zoo. Other than this, I didnt see more kangaroos from a good distance. We saw more kangaroos but they’re very far away from the coach as we passed on the freeway. Visiting eels farm was not that exciting, didn't see any eel at all. At Lady Bay location, we were placed at upstairs room with no lift and a late assistance when we checked in. An assistant came later when he realized the room was upstairs. I did tell him in the beginning that it looked upstairs but he said no. We had no assistance at all when checking out. This situation would not have happened if the tour pay attention to age group. Younger people can handles upstairs much better than people over 60. We were disappointed. There’s another place (I forgot the name) where we could have used more help. That’s the reason for 4 stars. It’s still a nice and memorable trip.

All ready did this survey.
