Patagonia Glaciers Trips

Had a great time, and my tour guide was lovely. Got to see and do some fantastic things (would recommend doing the FTAs) and the coach made moving around Iceland safe and easy. Given how dark it was and how iced the roads were, this tour was a great way to see Iceland. We were able to see the Northern Lights in Iceland, but this isn’t a Northern Lights tour; it’s very weather dependent. Only notes I’d have for this trip are the optional activities are not really optional, as you will be left on the coach until the activity is done; there is nothing else in the area for you to do during these activities. The glacier hike was manageable for those that don’t regularly hike, but if you don’t have good boots with ankle support you will also have to pay to rent shoes. The hostel we stayed at in Reykjavík was also inconvenient at this time for airport transfers due to construction happening; no hostel pick ups possible, so I’d take care when booking flights to pick a convenient time to catch a bus and arrive at the airport on time.

Beautiful scenic tour. Both Gus and Dave did a great job with all their knowledge, as well as managing the long travel with a full tour. AAT Kings employees knew a lot about every optional activity and provided immense insights into locations. On a separate note as an older solo traveller was very well taken care of.

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.

We had a great time on our recent trip to New Zealand. The tour leader and bus driver are a credit to this company as they were so organised and got us all to our destinations on time every day. They also kept us interested with their knowledge of each areas and the tour director kept us informed about the extra activities we could do and what was happening each day. Totally recommend AAT Kings!

Lots of early morning starts. Did not realize that the excursions were so costly and was only revealed after trip booked and paid for. Meals were Buffet style at Hotels and quite adequate. Hotels were comfortable and clean . Bus was kept spotless and driver was knowledgeable Seats were not that comfortable as not very wide and the seatbelt dug into your hip when fastened. Would have like some music to be played rather than constant talk from driver and guide . Guide went out of his way to help people and was super efficeient . Also very knowledgeable but taked too much. People were nice although had 50 people on this tour. Both Guide and Driver worked hard to make this trip enjoyable and I commend them on the hard work they put into this.

Great tr.ip, well planned, Fantastic views. Great tour director who kept us well informed of history of area as well as best activities available to increase experience at each stop.. Excellent coach driver who drove skillfully and smoothly every day. Great trip but never long enough.
