Perfect Tasmania Reviews

Very pleased with Hannah's service from wo to go organising the trip. The coach tour with AAT Kings was very enjoyable and value for money. The Tour Director and Driver were amazing and so helpful and knowledgeable. Accommodation was excellent although we were a bit disappointed in Launceston as the service wasn't quite up to Hobart's standard. Highlights ...read more of the trip were: Russell Falls, Strahan and Gordon River Cruise, Cradle Mountain, cable car at Cataract Gorge, lunch at Joseph Chromy winery, Bicheno, views at Freycinet National Park and of course the Cruise and lunch at Wineglass Bay and Port Arthur. There were too many highlights to mention as Tassie has so much beautiful scenery and photo opportunities.

Our AAT Kings Perfect Tasmania tour was exactly that, perfect. Our very experienced bus driver Tom and Tour Director Dave were both fantastic with a wealth of knowledge about Tassie. The meals and accommodation were also amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed everything including the history which was very interesting. Our Bruny Island added extra on the ...read more last day was also a wonderful experience.

We had a really lovely holiday in Tasmania. The Tour Director and Driver Guide were very knowledgeable and more than willing to share this knowledge with all of us. The weather was pretty good, cool at times but Tasmania is like that. We only had really solid rain in Cradle Mountain, so we did not get to see it. Photos assured us that it was there! ...read more All the accommodation was top class as were the meals which were provided. My husband celebrated his birthday on this trip and everyone made it an occasion to remember. The only criticism I would offer would be the lack of name badges. It's not easy to remember 40+ names every day and badges would have been a real help here.

Thank you for the most wonderful travel experience. The tour was amazing with AAT Kings and the tour director Dave was professional, friendly, approachable and knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. Dave is an asset to the company. Perfect Tasmania is a fantastic tour showcasing Tasmania's highlights, highly recommend. Accommodation was of a very ...read more high standard and the food amazing. We meet some fantastic people and formed new friendships. Thank you Georgie from Global Journeys in booking our trip and making everything so easy for us. We certainly will book another trip with you.

Hannah from Global Journeys is our go to lady and looked after all our travel details perfectly. Hannah was always pleasant in her manner and would respond immediately to any concerns or issues. We highly recommend Hannah. Our Tour with APT was excellent. The bus crew did a great job, commentary very informative, accommodation and food excellent.

Ms. Jemma Rosen took care of my reservation for the Perfect Tasmania tour with AAT Kings. Ms Rosen was very prompt and answered all my questions within 24 hours. This was my first reservation with Global Journeys and my experience was very positive and pleasant. I plan to visit Western Australia in the future and will definitely book again with Global ...read more Journeys. I highly recommend Ms. Rosen and Global Journeys to everyone. This was my third trip with AAT Kings and the tour was well planned and executed. The pace of the trip was good as we stayed two nights at most of the places. I thank you for making this holiday memorable.

I had such a wonderful time on this trip. I fell in love with Tasmania. It is such a beautiful part of Australia and even though a bit cooler I found the temperature and weather very pleasant. I particularly loved the Tamar Valley region, the Freycinet National Park and the history of the island, but really, everything we did was memorable - the Gordon ...read more River cruise on a misty day was breathtaking.

The AAT Kings tour was great - when you have limited time to see the whole island it is the best way to see it. The tour director and the tour driver (a local) made the experience even better with their knowledge and their desire to make our experience special and they were fun. The accommodation and the food were exceptional and the travellers all got on so well – great bunch. Thank you to Global Journeys and Jemma in particular, for making the arrangement of this holiday easy. You are very professional and I would definitely use you again. I highly recommend this tour.

I would highly recommend this tour and already have to a close friend. I was happy that the tour included the Mt Field National Park and Cradle Mountain. It was a well paced tour and I felt I was accommodated well. I enjoyed the Freycinet Lodge and all the accommodation was of a high standard. I chose this tour because I had the option to visit MONA ...read more within the timeline of the tour.

The food everywhere was a highlight of this tour particularly at the Josef Chromy Wines Estate. I've learnt about Cape Grim beef and have found it here in QLD. Everywhere everything was delicious. I could write about that aspect all day. Our tour guide Carolyn was a great ambassador for her state. I was surprised how she could inform, be clear and friendly all day and night. She is a marvel. Her reportage of Tasmanian history is personal as she is from convict stock. She is a born storyteller and she brings it alive for all to ponder and connect with that magical island.

The coach was ever so comfortable and the seating was fair and ample. Global Journeys were courteous and prompt with all correspondence. We would use Global Journeys again when planning our next holiday. The discounts were what prompted us to use Global Journeys. I had my birthday on tour and it was the best ever as we visited the lavender farm in the morning and in the evening we all got very merry.

Well organised. Would have liked rooms with a good view in Hobart ( Grand chancellor very noisy) to start the holiday. We did the alcohol history of Hobart tour which was quite a disappointment - tastings were so stingy you could hardly taste the whisky or gin. Food was good, however prefer the set meals rather than the buffets.

We had a great trip, could not have been better. Our tour guide Carolyn Tipper was just the best, very helpful and caring, has a wonderful knowledge of the history of Tasmania and was happy to impart it to the tour as we travelled around. Our driver Tom, must be your best driver, he was fantastic - we knew we were safe with him. The other people on ...read more the tour were very friendly and we all got on just great. I would recommend this trip to anyone, but I think we were very lucky to have Carolyn and Tom.

As a new tour traveller the holiday lived up to everything I had hoped for. Tasmania offered beautiful contrasting scenery and historical sites. Tasmanian's understand the contribution of tourism to their economy and were interested in making our holiday enjoyable and informative. Our Tour Guide Margaret was well organised and ready to help with any ...read more issues while managing to create a friendly atmosphere amongst the travelling group. Always felt safe in the hands of Tom our very capable coach driver, particularly on some of the winding sections of road. Meals offered something for everyone. Very comfortable accommodation. Booking with Global Journeys was easy and efficient. Happy to recommend Global Journeys and AAT Kings.

The trip highlights included, Hobart, the Russell Falls (Mt. Field National Park), Cradle Mountain, Launceston, Bicheno and the Freycinet National. The Tour accommodation was excellent, the Tour Director and Driver were also great. Especially the Tour Driver, his excellent local knowledge was brilliant.

This was my first trip alone after losing my Husband 3 years ago. I was very nervous but as soon as I arrived at the hotel I felt at ease. The whole trip was amazing and I would recommend it to other travellers. It was my first trip with AAT Kings and I certainly would travel with them again. Our coach was excellent and our Coach Driver was like ...read more an Encyclopedia with the knowledge he had. Our Tour Guide was also excellent and we never had to wait for anything, she was on the ball all the time. The accommodation around Tasmania was excellent. My fellow travellers were all very nice and we all got on very well. We had a mixture of Australians, English and Americans and it was great getting to know them all.

When I booked this holiday, I wasn't sure about the time of year but I went prepared for everything and we got everything, including snow up on Cradle Mountain and it was glorious. Coming from Western Australia, we don't get snow, so it didn't bother me at all. My only disappointment was at the end of our tour and we visited the Mono Museum. I felt it isn't everyone's cup of tea and to be able to do something else as others went there would have been better. Other than that I had a fabulous time and would recommend it to future travellers. This is my second time booking through Global Jounreys and once again I haven't been disappointed. Everything fell into place and no upsets. Thank you. Happy Traveller from Perth, Western Australia.

I would certainly book with AAT Kings again (and through Global Journeys). This was a really well-designed holiday and I got to see things I would never in a million years have seen for myself. Everyone was utterly professional: this has been my general experience in my two trips to Australia so far, but it was especially true without exception on ...read more this visit. I have particular praise for the tour-operator: managing so many people, being informed and entertaining, remaining cheerful through organisational hassles - she couldn't have done a better job. Just to explain my ratings: the tour accommodation was very good, and I only remove one star because of little glitches such as - why no WiFi in the restaurant in the Grand Chancellor in Hobart? Why such noisy air-conditioning in the Grand Chancellor in Launceston? Why such dreadful lack of sound-proofing in the hotel in Table Mountain? The coach was really very good, and it was good to have a (slow) charging facility through a USB port; there was WiFi (rationed), but quite often it would go out of range, which was a bit of a nuisance.

The tour pace was fast, which I suppose is a necessary evil given the amount that needs to be packed in, but it really was regrettable that we had so little time to look at the astonishing Wall by the phenomenally talented Greg Duncan (instead we had to rush away to lunch: I'd much rather have stayed and gazed at the carving). None of these are gripes: some of them are no doubt easily solved. All in all I had a marvellous time, felt myself in totally safe, professional hands: a big thank you to everyone involved.

Our experience with Global Journeys was excellent. We thank you Georgie for handling everything. We appreciate everything that you did personally for us. We were extremely pleased with AAT Kings in general and we thought Carolyn Tipper was outstanding. We have taken a number of package tours and Carolyn has been one of the best.

Just a wee note to say how much we enjoyed our recent trip with Global Journeys. The trip certainly lived up to its title of spectacular! AATKings were awesome. In particular the tour director Carolyn Tipper who in our opinion made our trip so interesting with the amount of local knowledge she shared with us, and in also being SO helpful to every passenger. ...read more A great trip and one that I am more than happy to recommend to anyone contemplating a trip to the 'Apple Isle'! Thanks once more to all involved in making our wee holiday so enjoyable!

An excellent holiday which we both enjoyed. Our tour manager, Robin Gentle, looked after us all in a very professional manner, and Mark our driver (a Kiwi of course!!) was excellent. We only had one spot that was rather average and was not the fault of the company or Robin, that was our evening meal at Tall Timbers, Smithton. The meal was A La Carte, ...read more and we were one of the last to be served - our main meal was brought out over an hour after we ordered, we asked if our dessert could be brought out early as we were due to go on the Penguin tour. The waitress was very off-hand and we thought rather rude telling us we would have to wait until everyone had finished as that was the rule. We didn't even have time for a hot drink before we had to go to get ready for the trip. Apart from that - well done Global Journeys, we would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

It was a great tour. Well structured because we saw all or most of Tasmania and did so without any days of travel that could be described as onerous and a good balance between one night and two night stays in different locations. The itinerary was excellent and I think the tour is well named because much of what we saw was spectacular and a lot of highlights ...read more were very beautiful scenically and interesting. Good accommodation all the way around and good meals where they were included in the tour. But what made this tour so special for us was the Tour Director a lady by the name of Caroline Tipper. A proud Tasmanian passionate about her Island state and incredibly knowledgeable on all manner of subjects such as its history its economy flora and fauna etc etc Carolyn is a very special person. Through her kindly organisation and especially her commentaries on the bus she made the tour special for every person on the tour. Of this I am sure.

Had a wonderful time on our holiday. Had a few doubts at first about booking and paying so much online, and wondering if we had done the right thing. As time drew nearer to depart on our journey, and I had spoken to Georgina Walpole, I was more at ease about the trip and now I thank Georgie with all my heart as we all had a great time. AAT Kings were ...read more very professional throughout the whole trip and Carolyn, our tour hostess, worked above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we all had a great time. When we are ready to go on another trip we will definitely give you the opportunity to quote us and I am sure if other staff are as professional as Georgie we will be very satisfied with your help. Once again Don, Margaret ,Len and I sincerely thank you for all your help.

We had a very enjoyable holiday in Tasmania. The choice of hotels was excellent, very comfortable and the meals were wonderful. We were very luck with the weather and only had one wet day but that did not spoil the tour. The coach was good as were the tour guide and the coach driver.
