What do I need to bring with me on the tour?
On all Guided tours a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, weatherproof jacket and good walking shoes are a good starting point for packing. There is no need for lots of formal clothes, however you might like to include a few options to wear out for dinner, but above all you want to be comfortable. Casual, drip-dry lightweight clothes are perfect. Other items, depending on your tour might include insect repellant, a swimming costume and towel, small portable umbrella, travel alarm clock, medications and of course your camera to capture all those wonderful sights.
Do I need to tip my tour guide or driver?
While its not compulsory in Australia or New Zealand, tipping is becoming an increasingly accepted practice in all areas of the service industry, but particularly in restaurants, bars and taxis. Likewise on your AAT Kings tour, if you feel that your Tour Director, Driver, Driver guide or Private cook has done an excellent job, then we would recommend tipping up to the equivalent of AUD$5/NZ$5 per day. However, its not compulsory. It is up to you!
What happens if I need to cancel my tour?
On Full and Half day tours - a refund will be given up to 24 hours before departure if you cancel less than 24 hours before the tour start then you will be charged 100%.

We can make amendments up to departure time for coach based tours only. You can email the suppliers AAT Kings quoting your booking reference and giving us the details for the changes you wish to make.
If I lose something on tour can I get it back?
We will make every effort to get your lost property back to you. We may ask you to pay for any cost involved.
