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. |
