Brilliant tour of the North Island of NZ. Rhys our group leader was great. He had loads of local knowledge about places we visited and was able to provide great recommendations for activities during our free time, as well as organising group activities for us in the evenings, such as karaoke.
Would recommend this trip!

What an awesome trip. So many cool activities included and lots of opportunities to do even more on your own! Alex, our guide, was very knowledgeable and fun! Id definitely recommend the NZ South Island trip if you like the outdoors, adventure, and adrenaline!

The itinerary covered all important things to see and experience. Accommodations are well placed for city life, night life, botanical gardens, parks and close to all the amenities. Day tours are arranged to discover nature wonders, beautiful countryside, famous landmarks. The trip wound up with relaxing warm beautiful beaches in Fiji.
Absolute banger of a time! I've always wanted to go to Australia for many years now and going with Contiki, especially with on the North Queensland to Uluru, was totally worth it! I couldn't speak for the sailing version of the trip, but the land stay in Airlie beach was really a nice bit. I would recommend going in the drier seasons because it rained and was quite windy during our stay in Queensland but nonetheless, a really exciting opportunity for everyone. If it's your first time going to Australia like it was for me, this is absolutely the trip to go, as you'll be seeing the natural highlights of the continent!

As always with Kings the tour director Margate and coach driver Mark both did excellent jobs. The accommodation as always was very good, the food was also very good. I would recommend AAT Kings to anyone wanting a great experience

Me and my sister traveled to Australia togrther. We had been talking about going to Australia for years, and when we finally found this tour, it felt like the perfect fit. It had all the major places we wanted to see Sydney, Cairns, the Great Barrier Reef.
Sydney was amazing. We loved walking around Circular Quay, seeing the Opera House and taking the ferry to Manly Beach. The harbor views are something else.
What we really liked was that the group was small. It made everything easier and more relaxed. We ended up making a few friends from Canada and we still keep in touch on WhatsApp. The guide was friendly and gave us just the right amount of information without overloading us.
The hotels were comfortable and in good locations.
For the price, I think it was really worth it. You get so much in one trip and don’t have to worry about the logistics.
The tour operator was amazing. I fell in love with New Zealand. Simon was great guide and the small tour group made it even better as we all became close friends. I would highly recommend the tour operator to all my friends and Family. I loved every moment that I was in New Zealand. I would come back in a heart beat and travel with the operator again.

I must say that I throughly enjoyed my South Western Escape tour with AAT Kings bus company. Why, you say? Well… let’s start with the people they employ. People like Margaret, our tour guide and Mark, our driver. Such professional people who ensure the comfort and quality of the tour is their number one priority. Nothing was too big or small a request for these two to get right in there and give a helping hand. Then there’s the bus itself! Modern, clean and comfortable, with wide windows for picture taking and I shouldn’t forget the charging ports on board. Videos that relate to particular steps are shown to increase your awareness of what is coming up.
Great accomodation, comfortable, clean, that are well positioned in the towns and cities you visit. There is a variety of meals to be had and every one of them were of a good standard and quality. Lastly, and it is by no means last, is the itinerary, which is really the reason that you wanted to go in the first place. Everything down to the last item is timed perfectly and meticulously planned. The information provided is most interesting and I found myself listening with baited breathe. There’s only one thing wrong that I can mention and that’s the last evening meal together. It means that you have to say good bye to the friends you’ve made along the way. However, sometimes, like me, you may meet up again with them on the next AAT trip that you take!
Don’t wait, join an AAT Kings bus holiday today as you’ll never be this young again in your life! I did and I had a ball.

Fantastc driver/guides and tour director Nellie was brilliant. Amazing places covered on tour. 100% recommended. Only confusion was the luggage allowance, which was happily more than stated. 😀
