Classic
Coach Touring
|
 |
| We know that nothing
compares to travelling to new destinations, experiencing new
cultures, meeting new people, and trying different cuisines.
It is for this reason that in each of our destinations we offer
the same APT excellence in luxury group travel, and combine
it with the ultimate holiday experiences of the country we're
visiting. |
|
| Choose from some of the world's
most interesting destinations for your Classic Coach Touring
experience. |
|
| APT
Excellence - makes your experience |
| Fully Inclusive Holidays
and Guaranteed Prices |
| Many touring companies publish
holiday prices that appear lower, only to sell many necessary
extras along the way. APT's approach is fundamentally different
- you will never be sold 'extras'. Our tour fares include your
meals as specified, accommodation, sightseeing, park entrance
fees, cruises, transfers where needed... even tipping is taken
care of. However you may wish to budget for non-touring activities
such as scenic flights or helicopter rides - special activities
which do not appeal to everyone. For even more peace of mind,
on receipt of your booking confirmation, we guarantee the tour
price, so you know exactly where you stand. |
|
| Industry Awards and Recognition
|
| APT takes pride in the recognition
it has received over the years from the tourism industry's most
informed bodies. In particular, Geoff McGeary was honoured at
the National Travel Industry Awards in 2003, recognising his
outstanding contribution to Australian tourism over the last
40 years. Recently, APT was named the Best Transport Operator
at the prestigious Tourism Export Industry Council Awards. We
are honoured by the recognition from our industry peers but
what gives us greatest pleasure is the 98% satisfaction rating
from APT travellers. |
