Winter Wonderland tour through Germany, Austria and Switzerland     , NSW, Australia, Dec 2024
Booked through Global journeys for our Insight Vacation Tour and did not disappoint. GJ were so helpful with answering questions and helping get us organised. The tour with Insight was a winter wonderland snapshot. It snowed and the scenery and experiences were magical. The accommodation was excellent. We made friends with other people on the tour. ...read more Lots of experiences to cherish.
Greece Classical Tour     , WA, Australia, Dec 2024
From the moment we booked with Collette and Global Journeys, it was a seamless experience. We were regularly updated on every aspect of our trip, from flight details, check in information, tour group numbers, hotel information at each stop etc. We knew every day the full itinerary on where we were going and staying. Our tour manager George was amazing. ...read more He was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He actually made the trip as fantastic as it was. We were very lucky to only have 6 people on our tour so we all became friends very quickly. One of the highlights were the monasteries in Meteora and the stay in a small town in Nafplia which was just stunning. We managed to fit so much into our 10 day tour it was just brilliant. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. It was so good, I’d do it all over again. The main highlight of our tour was becoming engaged in Athens. A very magical place and will forever be special to us. We can’t wait to come back to Greece to see some more of this beautiful country.
Wonderful Indian Pacific train journey across Australia   , QLD, Australia, Dec 2024
I travelled in a gold single cabin on the Indian Pacific train journey. Wonderful staff who are extremely helpful and friendly to the extent that when the air conditioning deteriorated in our dining car they went above and beyond and offered us 3 options of dining on the 2nd night: we could still eat in the extremely hot dining car; have room service ...read more in our rooms or the most popular option was "have a party in the lounge carriage": the staff brought out platters of everything on the dinner menu in bite sized portions, including servings of salad and vegetables, with normal whole servings of desserts.

The customer service manager for our 4 carriages arranged for the musician to perform an unscheduled set for us and she raided the Platinum bar and provided many bottles of Bollinger champagne. They well and truly created a party atmosphere - we didn't go hungry and the champagne flowed! All carriages were very clean and tidy, the food was fabulous - great variety, very good quality and great service. The bed was comfortable but I found the noise of the train made it difficult to sleep. I think as well as the chocolate that's placed on your bed each night they should also provide ear plugs.

A quick stop in Adelaide where I enjoyed the opportunity to visit Adelaide Central Markets. The Blue Mountains off train experience was great - skyway, cable car, the world's steepest passenger train and lunch. The evening stop in Kalgoorlie was a waste of time as we couldn't see anything in the dark. We got off the train some time after 9pm and didn't re-board till 12.50am! I hope to do another train journey in the future but will definitely source ear plugs!
West Coast Tasmania   , QLD, Australia, Nov 2024
We were blessed with fine and mild weather - so November is a good month to visit Tasmania, in general. With only seven days to fit in so much, APT selected the best of a range of activities. My personal likes was the Gordon River/Macquarie Harbour Cruise and of course two nights stay at Cradle Mountain (Resort) - authentic Tassie. To combine this with ...read more the eight day East Coast tour gives you an excellent overview of what this Island has to offer visitors.
