North Africa City sightseeing Trips

I think, no need for 2 days in Uralla, you could see the rocks in one day./night. Also in Sydney, 3 days are enough. This will reduce the total cost of the trip

This itinerary was busy but completely worth it - it truly hit all the highlights in Australia and New Zealand. I enjoyed every planned activity and we took advantage of many of the optional tours. Some of my favorites were snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, tour and later dinner at the Sydney Opera House, Sydney harbor cruise, Hobbiton, visiting the Kiwi hatchery, and the Be Our Guest experience on the sheep farm. Don’t miss these! The hotels at each location were fantastic - very comfortable and more importantly, well placed for easily walking to sites of interest. Both our guides were fantastic. in Australia was energetic and always entertaining. While more subdued was just as fun and knowledgeable and I appreciated his insights as a Māori. Australia and New Zealand had long been on my bucket list and this tour with Trafalgar exceeded my expectations!

My husband and I had a great time in Italy. We enjoyed the great cities, the guided excursions, food, and the tour’s director, whom made the trip easy for us. We would love to have him as our tour director on our next adventure. Thank you for the lovely trip.

The itinerary covers the many interesting parts of Australia and internal flights are included in the price. We stayed at very good hotels, breakfast included and in great locations, withing walking distance to major attractions. Our tour director was exceptional, one of the best we ever had in a tour, very professional and knowledgeable and the coach drivers were very guides too when we took extra trips. The final 4 days are in Sydney and the location of the Intercontinental Hotel could not be better, plus the hotel is excellent. All the little details, dinners included in great restaurants, sunset watching in Uluru with drinks and snacks in the middle of the dessert. It was an amazing trip.

Great trip. Tiring but well worth it to see so much of New Zealand. Driver and tour director were great. Some hotels were a bit basic but generally good. I did a same sex room share which worked out really well. It also helped that we had a good group of travellers. Just didn’t realise the group would be so big! Will do another AATKings trip around Australia if I can afford it.

Two couples and four seasoned single travellers from UK and US soon gelled together as a group. As several reviewers have said before a few advance days in Singapore would have helped with jetlag and acclimatisation. Plus note on this tour, that whilst the Singapore Entry Card can be applied for just prior to travel, the one for Malaysia has to be applied for within three days of crossing border. This is a little more complicated and fiddly on a mobile phone, but our ever helpful local tour guide Sam was there for those that struggled. The Singapore tour was well worth it, even in the hot humid conditions, and the evening light shows are not to be missed. Food experiences and shopping is available for all pockets. Local Malay people are very warm and welcoming, although some other regional visitors can be less polite and culturally unaware of the concept of a queue. Crossing to Malaysia was generally trouble free and currency can be changed just over the border. First stop Malacca is there for your colonial history and the Hotel Puri is a perfect compliment to this. On to KL and again plenty of history and the sort of shopping opportunities that a big city can provide. There is an amount of coach travel between locations, but Sam broke this up by covering several topics and explaining local customs etc. Also at several rest stops he would bring on board yet another tasty exotic tropical fruit or local snack for us to try, but not the durian thankfully. Then moving to the homestay, which although a little sanitised for the visitor, was very enjoyable, but perhaps the accommodation was a little too basic for some. Next the Cameron Highlands then provided respite from the heat and the hotel was pure luxury in comparison. The tea plantation visit was actually very interesting and if the group had not bonded before, they did over the evening Malaysian Hotpot! A pleasant few days in Penang followed, with evening entertainment and dancing for those brave enough, and then on again to Langwaki Island. Here some of the group decided to slowly roast on the beach or swim in the pools, whilst Sam arranged trips for the rest. A highlight was feeding bananas by hand to the local monkeys, as part of a small boats tour in the Northern Mangroves. The last night was a farewell sunset boat trip, a food buffet, and a chance for a swim, water polo, or even a ride in a super speed boat. A varied and enjoyable holiday, resulting from a group of strangers that soon became friends and held together by Sam our guide, who dealt with any issues in a calm and professional manner.
