Booked through Touradar and no passenger information was sent across to AATKING. tour director Christin, and driver, Tom were amazing.their knowledge and information was extraordinary. The itinerary was good.but too much time was allocated in Darwin, which is not necessary. The places we went to were spectacular, will not see that again. Some extras were already booked out or not available ( due to covid recovery)which was not told to customers prior to starting trip. Companies are strict with their COVID requirements which is great, but once on trip and we have covid positive passengers, more compuslory rulings are needed and be enforced. the guidelines did not protect non covid passengers from the spread of covid on the bus. Most people were over 60yr, fully vacced, have pre exsisting cond and so, AATKING needs to address the safety and protection of all their passengers. AATKING T & C need re-addressing. im grateful that i did not get COVID on the trip, but tested positive when home. not impressed.Show more
