Australia Tours and Trips

Dave and Ash were perfect hosts, guides, commentators, drivers, chaperones, in fact,you name it they were it! From start to finish they were consummate professionals, courteous, polite, knowledgeable, amusing and perfect hosts in every way. They are superb ambassadors not just for AAT Kings but also, for the beautiful country of Australia! Every attraction on the tour was greeted with enthusiasm by our hosts and even a couple of trips that were in their 'infancy' on the schedule and didn't quite match the enormity and splendour of the other trips were very enjoyable due to their honesty, participation and support. Accommodation throughout was superb, ranging from luxury City hotels to a couple of much smaller out of the way motels that were still a very good standard and beautifully clean. Everywhere we went we were supplied with wonderful food at excellent venues and always with a smile. Great banter on board our bus was helped and in the main initiated by Dave and Ash and apart from a couple of 'old sticks in the mud' everyone joined in and made the very best of our time together. Would we return with AAT? Of course we would. Would we prefer to go with Dave and Ash? You bet your sweet 'Ash' we would!!! Thank you one and all. We will be back!

I appreciated the inclusion of the indigenous tour guides throughout the tour. It helped me to better understand the many contributions they made to the the history of Australia and New Zealand. I was impressed on how the government has valued the culture of these indigenous people by collaborating their beliefs into the many buildings, parks, and politics of the cities. I also enjoyed the host dinner I attended. Margaret was an awesome hostess. She shared her home grown vegetables as well as used the apples from her tree to make a delicious apple dessert that made me appreciate the time she put into make our visit special. We shared a lively conversation about many things throughout the evening. It's these experiences that I will remember most of all.

Collette does an excellent job at providing land tours. They have active itineraries that provide a great combination of local tours and free time to explore on your own. The guides are extremely knowledgeable about local customs, traditions and points of interest. Their online app is excellent for communicating the daily schedule, local points of interest, local dining and local maps for each area where you spend a night. They have a good combination of provided group meals and meals on your own to explore and enjoy at your own pace.

Our trip to NT/WA was fantastic in every respect. Great tour director and exceptional driver. Although the trip involved long distances of travel, we were kept entertained by the information from the tour director and adequate stops for refreshments. Accommodation was great considering we were in "the outback". Would recommend this trip and AAT Kings to anyone.

My wife and I drove from Perth to Broome visiting a number of places on route. We then flew from Broome to Darwin to take a 3 day trip to Kakadu and Katherine Gorge with AATKings. We were the only Brits on the trip, the other 17 were Ozzies and we had an amazing time, loved every minute. Our guide was a lady called Mel and apart from being a lovely human being she was brilliant at her job. This trip will live long in the memory and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company. Brilliant!!

This was a marvellous trip. The 🚌was very capable and comfortable; the driver was excellent; the guide was incredible and the route was amazing. All accomodation and food was good. I would have no reservations in recommending AAT-Kings for this trip to anyone considering travelling to the SA outback - particularly this year (2026) as the heavy rains have promoted growth and life not seen for a generation.
