Best trip, everything was thought of, lots of information given and driver and tour director were so helpful and nothing was a trouble for them.
The Top End Highlights tour was excellent saw a variety of things from sunsets to crocodiles rock paintings to sharks. Tony and Terry were excellent and very helpful if there was a problem. Tony also knew a lot.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. It was well organized and great activities. Our driver and guide were excellent
We had the best time our guide and driver made the trip fun and informative. It was a well rounded trip seeing all the sights and many highlights. I would choose another trip with you **
A good itinerary, a very good driver in Terry and a fantastic tour guide in Tony. Food was first class and accommodation very good
Tour was good and a lot done on 6 days. Very informative tour guide. Accommodation at Katherine was not that good, sorry disappointing.
Great part of Australia and very enjoyable experience. Excellent tour guide with Tony and tour coach driver Terry made our trip comfortable and certainly informative. Visited many special places and interesting sites.
I found the recent Top End Highlights the ideal way for me to see places I would not have been able to do so on my own. Tony the Travel Director was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and entertaining; as was Terry the coach driver. The coach was very comfortable, and the accommodation and restaurants were fantastic.
Tour guide and driver excellent However accommodation good
Could not fault our wonderful tour leader Tony or our very supportive bus driver Terry . Tonys amazing knowledge he shared with us , caring and sharing and great sense of humour. Terrys complete safety of us both on and off the bus .They were a great team .and much appreciated.The trip was great with many highlights. One of which was a great surprise and so much fun Katherine s great Outback Experience! The Top End Country was fantastic and it was a pleasure to hear ,ride in boats ,and learn about the Aboriginal cultures .We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone even if they have slight disabilities. D and N .
We really enjoyed our trip. So much to see and learn about. Both the leader and driver were exceptional in the way they looked out for everyone on the tour. The leader had an amazing about of information about the places we travelled to.
Great time very professional
Katherine needs a rethink. Rooms tired, no water pressure and food nor very good
OMG What a fantastic trip and done with a great, very knowledgeable woman with a wicked sense of humor and a very helpful, serving and caring coach opperator. I hope I get the opportunity to have both these People when i get to travel again with AAT as they went above and beyond to make sure my trip was one to remember.
The overall experience was excellent. Our room at the Contour Motel/Hotel in Katherine had a short splash of hot water the first night otherwise only cold showers. Others had hot water and having lived out west many years understand that this present time and economy may cause more maintenance problems.
Wonderful tour. Well organised and informative guide. Will definitely do another AAT Kings tour.
Really happy with the overall content and seeing so many sights. The coach was very comfortable and clean daily. The guide and driver were fantastic. Accommodation was very good for the outback. My only question I guess is why did we have to leave so early on the last day to arrive back in Darwin at midday. We could have stopped at the famous Humpty Doo pub for lunch before heading back into Darwin. Tour was advertised as a 6 day tour but it really was only 5 days.
A fantastic trip with a fantastic crew
A wonderful trip. Guide and driver were very knowledgable, friendly and they looked after us very well. Accommodation and food was also very good. We loved the tours and definitely got a taste of the beautiful top end of Australia. We will be travelling with AAT KINGS in the future.
An extremely well planned and executed tour. Very informative
This was an excellent tour - good itinerary, great coach, knowledgeable and fun people as driver and tour director. They took great care of us, and made it a really memorable experience.
It was excellent. Both Carolyn and Lance worked well as a team. In future a bit more downtime would be appreciated as most found it quite tiring at times. It should be on everyone’s bucket list….
Most accommodation was good contour at Katherine was only adequate. Show was poor and room very basic.
What an experience. Five full days of the most amazing scenery in the company of an exceptional tour guide and driver. The local guides shared a wealth of knowledge, and we learned a lot. Travel, accommodation and meals were of the highest level. Highly recommended.
Tour experience great. Accommodation and food plan ordinary
Outback nice rooms. It took us multiple requests to have our room serviced. Food options great. Reception often not helpful.
Amazing experiences provided. Excellent guide and driver who were very knowledgeable. Driver very careful.
The trip was very good and the tours well executed. Very beautiful part of the country.
We experienced some amazing sights and explored the beauty of this amazing part of NT. Some of the accomodation was very disappointing with very outdated bathrooms . I didn’t like some of the restaurants at a couple of the accomodations decided to give us a shortened, limited menu. Many of us on this trip were not pleased with the food from the restaurants. These restaurants had our bookings prior to our arrival so it should of not been a problem to supply us with a full dinner menu and food plentiful for us to enjoy, not search the plate to try and find you piece of barramundi and have to pay $20 to put salad with it. The crocodile Hotel was overrated, the bathrooms were unsafe with the shower over the bath and no hand rails and the fact that there were no lifts so all your luggage needed to be dragged up steep steps was ridiculous The tour was run very well and we got to visit and experience many places. The asking for tips for our director and bus driver is not Australian . Yes I would recommend this trip but will highlight the pitfalls to alert them.
Our accommodation in Darwin at the Leea was lovely but both places in Katherine and Kakadu really needed a bit of updating . Loved Katherine Gorge and our flight over Kakadu was amazing on the whole we had a great time .
