It was such a great trip. Thanks to the excellent service from the tour director (Craig Hill) and the coach driver (George). Appreciated the stories and insights provided by the local guides. As well, enjoyed the friendly and fun travel companions on the coach bus. Overall, a memorable trip with laughter, memories and great company!
AAT Kings itinerary for this outback tour was thoughtfully planned. There were many opportunities to learn about Aboriginal culture and view spectacular scenery. We enjoyed getting to know our fellow travellers. Having some evenings free to dine without the group was appreciated. Highlights included "Under a Desert Moon", Field of Light Sunrise and read more Uluru Barbecue with star gazing. Walks along the creek bed at Kings Canyon, Kata Tjuta exploration, around base of Uluru and at Simpsons Gap provided ample photo opportunities. Accommodation at the three resorts was spacious and meals high quality.
Bus drivers/tour guides all knowledgeable. Perfect weather in early June for travel with warm days and no rain.

Scenic Slovenia and Croatia 0
Discover Croatia, Slovenia & the Adriatic Coast
Helen , QLD, Australia, Jun 2026
I had the best time on this tour in the beautiful scenic countries of Slovenia and Croatia. This was my first time travelling with Collette tours and I couldn’t have been happier. We visited beautiful places such as Ljublijana, Lake Bled, Plitvice Lakes, as well as the historical and interesting old towns of Split and Dubrovnik on the Adriatic Sea. read more There were guided tours in each place.
We also had lots of fun experiences from exploring little hill top villages, farm to plate lunches, sampling local tasty produce, liquors and wine and little surprises along the way with unexpected extras such as visiting a war bunker and an old salt mine. We had great accommodation and breakfasts in all stays!
Our tour manager Sonja was excellent and being from Croatia gave us great insights into the countries and cultures. Our driver was very safe and professional. All fellow travellers, mainly from the USA were friendly, fun and interested in sharing stories with us three Australians! I’d definitely consider travelling with Collette tours again.

This was my first HX Expeditions trip - and I did enjoy the trip once on board. The HX communication prior to that was nothing short of appalling, and highly stressful - couldn't get info about flights, times or anything. The full day in Longyearbyen was also poorly structured as it left us sitting in a hotel foyer for most of the day. BUT - on board read more - such a different experience - absolutely wonderful cabin staff, excellent meals and very pleasant ship facilities. Communication also had its problems aboard - with everything delivered via an app ... which mostly didn't work and had no back up, thus providing information sometimes up to 2 days late.
The scenery was spectacular and the zodiac trips a real highlight. There is nothing like the experience of the midnight sun, the -14C of the Arctic and the grandeur of glaciers and ice floes. Animal sightings were MUCH fewer than I had expected or hoped - and VERY distant - but still wonderful to see animals in their native habitat. A VERY strong set of binoculars and/or ultra long camera lens are certainly necessary. I would certainly consider another Arctic trip - but probably not with HX ... at least until their systems and communications improve.

We had a great time lots of interesting sights and lots of laughs. We met some lovely fellow travellers whom I’m sure we will keep in touch with. Transport very comfortable and accomodation very good. Tracy did everything she could have to keep us fully informed and will definitely call again if we travel for a 3rd time with Backroads.
A trip with plenty of variety 0
Country Roads of Scandinavia
Lesley and John, NSW, Australia, Jun 2026
We had a bit of everything Scandinavia has to offer. Pieter and Roland took us to the highlighted places but surprised us with a few spectacular extras that made the journey special.
The trip was everything the advertised and more. Staff was excellent, room as advertised and food and beverage service was excellent. Rita is Celiac and they took great care of her. Absolutely no complaints.
Fantastic APT trip through The Kimberley & The Top End 0
Kimberley and Top End
Derek and Alison , New Zealand, Jun 2026
We booked our APT Tour using Global Journeys (Hannah). We had a fantastic time 10/10. 100% met (or actually exceeded) our expectations. Booking process was easy and Hannah helped us manage the process smoothly and always replied quickly to our queries. Trip itself was holiday of a lifetime. 20 of us in the group and we all became 'mates' very quickly. read more Driver / Tour guide Leigh was totally amazing, great personality, unbelievable knowledge and organised everything perfectly.
Highlights?? there are too many to mention, but helicopter ride over the Bunge Bungles would be in the top five. Walk to Mitchell Falls, tour through Arnhem Land / Kakadu National Park, huge selection of Aboriginal rock art to view, Emma Groge walk, numerous amazing swimming spots such as Zebedee Springs are just a few that come to mind. Accommodation at APT Wilderness Lodges (ensuite glamping) and the cuisine we were served was also another definite highlight. Only downside is that, due to the distances that need to be covered, we spent an average of five hours on the (very comfortable, with Starlink) 4WD bus and also this meant lots of early starts each day eg. breakfast at 6am for 6.45am departure. As long as you can handle this I say go for it, you will NOT be disappointed.

Our cruise onboard Celebrity Eclipse to Scotland & Iceland was wonderful. We saw Edinburgh although the weather wasn't good, Kirkwall in the Orkneys was lovely & we saw the standing stones there & a bus trip around the island was informative. Sunny day but windy. Our days in Iceland were great, we saw waterfalls, geysers, & national parks as well as read more going whale watching. We saw lots of whales, it was a fun experience. Shetland was just as we had imagined, grey stonebuildings in Lerwick but a vibrant bustling place. The countryside was interesting to see away from Lerwick. It's quite windswept but great views. This trip was so enjoyable, different from the European buildings & cathedrals. A breath of fresh air.
Wonderful Trafalgar tour in Japan 0
Splendours of Japan with Hiroshima
David & Helen , QLD, Australia, May 2026
A big thank you to Global Journeys and Tracey for organising our Trafalgar tour in Japan. The tour was excellent. It fully met our expectations in every regard. Tracey was fantastic, especially rebooking our flights after one leg of our return journey was cancelled due to the Middle East conflict.
