AAT Kings<\/b> (<\/span>www.aatkings.com<\/a>) has announced it will begin transitioning its sub-brand, APT Day Tours, to a fresh new brand, <\/span>Sightseeing Sydney<\/b> (<\/span>www.australiasightseeing.com.<\/wbr>au<\/a>), from week commencing 25 November, 2013. <\/span><\/span>

The \u201cSightseeing\u201d brand will operate along-side the growing AAT Kings\u2019 Day Tours brand providing guests and travel partners with plenty of choice in the all-important Sydney and Melbourne day tours markets.<\/span><\/div>\n
\"image004\"Anthony Hayes, Global Managing Director, AAT Kings said: \u201cTwo fabulous day tours brands are better than one. As part of our aggressive expansion plans, AAT Kings purchased all day tours and short breaks products from APT last year. Until now we have maintained this sub-brand to ensure market stability, but now the time has come to move into the future.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cOur new day tours brand, \u201cSightseeing\u201d, will not only provide an ongoing high standard of service for our guests, but will enjoy enhanced levels of service via new luxury vehicles and soon to be introduced WiFi and USB ports. The future for us will centre around growing both AAT Kings day tours and Sightseeing. Please take your pick and we will work with you.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Targeting further growth in the day touring market in NSW, the Sightseeing Sydney brochure will be the first in a series of Sightseeing brochures to be released for summer. Sightseeing Sydney boasts 13 half and full day tours that take in Sydney’s must-see attractions including Bondi and Manly Beach, Taronga Zoo and Darling Harbour, as well as Blue Mountains, Port Stephens, Hunter Valley, the South Coast and Canberra. With day tours starting from $64 per person, Sightseeing Sydney offers both Australian and international travellers a convenient and value-for-money way to explore this popular holiday destination.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Sporting vibrant imagery and a casual look and feel reflective of the destination, each page of the Sightseeing Sydney brochure features digestible information and a clear price breakdown, with optional add-ons and cruise extensions also listed. Each itinerary in the program has been expertly-planned and is led by a highly knowledgeable Driver Guide who will reveal to guests many unique insights about the places they visit. The new program also includes hotel pick-ups and drop-offs as well as concession and child prices, with the Sightseeing Sydney staff on hand to assist agents with their guests\u2019 bookings either over the phone or via online.<\/span><\/div>\n
