Great short break Lyn, NSW, Australia, Sep 2024
Chose this tour specifically for Floriade but was so much more. Our driver/director was marvelous. Really enjoyed this short break to Canberra and surrounds. Great accomodation in great location. Have done a few trips with AAT Kings now and would recommend. Georgie from Global Journeys was helpful as ever.
Ghan Darwin to Adelaide Lionel & Terry, QLD, Australia, Sep 2024
We have been very happy with the service from Global Journeys in this and previous trips booked. While we enjoyed the people we met and the staff and service on the Ghan, the Gold Class cabin was old and outmoded. For the cost we don’t expect to be in 1950’s era rail sleeper. It really needs a major upgrade. The carriage is very noisy including the ...read more aircon which is near your head on the top bunk. Teensy and old shower/toilet bathroom, albeit functioning. Side trips very well organised and enjoyable. Dinner under the stars very enjoyable and food and wine good. Journey Beyond coped extremely well when our journey got delayed after the cattle train crashed into the Ghan north of Alice Springs.
Western Wonderland - WOW! Paul and Mary Anne, QLD, Australia, Sep 2024

Lots of kms - 4,831 but we had many of stops and in house commentary and documentaries by tour leader Carolyn - she really knew her stuff and has a sense of humor. Coach driver Rhys was a great asset and lots of fun. Could not fault the whole trip - accommodation ...read more was very good, some better than others considering some motels were mainly used for workers - we were comfortable at all times. Meals that were supplied were very good - would recommend this trip to anyone - and we are in our 70's! Hannah did a great job in organising the tour and was always there to answer initial questions - thank you!
Excellent informative journey Shaan and Jenny, New Zealand, Sep 2024
Carolyn is excellent host with a wealth of knowledge who makes everyone comfortable yet brings home reality of Australia history. She entertained us with information and data on places and people. Carolyn is an excellent “people person’ and credit to the company. We especially appreciated birthday acknowledgement. One suggestion for future is Busselton ...read more jetty - would be good to do train on the jetty, or have enough time to take it.
