Australia Local culture Trips

My wife and I have been on several trips with the Trafalgar group (AAT Kings / Insight / Trafalgar). We have not had a bad experience yet. The travel directors were like personal concierges to us. Our travel directors, Tony and Marty, were fantastic people. Funny, professional and helpful. Bus drivers were excellent, optional experiences were great. We look forward to going on future tours with the Trafalgar group.

Very comprehensive itinerary, all hotels are centrally located, specialty meals were very good to excellent. Animal encounters were great, including the penguins, koalas, Tasmanian devil and kangaroos. Landscape is breathtaking. Great Maori cultural encounter. New Zealand is pristine!

Just the right amount of guided tour and free time to explore. Enjoyed every minute of it. The Sydney Harbor tour, Sydney Opera House, The tours of the glacial lake in New Zealand and trying news foods in both countries.

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

My husband and I had a fantastic time. Chris, our tour guide, was very knowledgable, informative and accessible for anything we needed on advice, suggestions, or just to chat. We had plenty of personal downtime to rest and recover. I loved that Chris stated “This is your vacation, do as you like.” So we felt more freedom to explore independently.

This was an ambitious tour that covered the highlights of New Zealand's south island, the Great Barrier Reef, and Sydney. The New Zealand portion of the trip was my favorite. The scenery is stunning, and the excursions were unique and interesting, including a cruise on Milford Sound and a trip to a working sheep ranch. Our Collette guide was fantastic--she went out of her way to answer every question and address every concern. Our time in Sydney was great. The only disappointment was the day spent at the Great Barrier Reef, which felt rushed. All in all, though, it was a great tour!
