Travelling by coach is an effortless and economical way to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short period. In New Zealand you could feasibly see the whole country this way whereas in Australia you will need to look at it region by region. Everyone we met on tour was full of praise for the driver/guides who really do add an extra dimension to the understanding and appreciation of the areas you visit.

The APT tours also include a high level of flexibility which allows you to create a more tailormade itinerary and at times, strike out on your own. The combination of this and the ease of having all the arrangements made for you makes it very pleasant way to travel even if you don’t consider yourself to be a ‘coach tour type'.
