Testimonials
We had an excellent trip. Thanks very much for all your help in putting it together. First, did I find your consultancy valuable? Absolutely. When we started to plan an Australia trip it was overwhelming. It’s a huge country, so your help in narrowing down the possibilities of where to go and what to see and focusing us were really essential. I think we would have been quite a bit more scattered in our approach had we done it ourselves, and we probably would have missed some really great things. Of course, we had guide books. I think the first thing everybody does is go out and buy one or two, but having someone to consult with who knows the country was really a big help. Thanks so much for all your help in making our first trip to Australia such a success. We had a wonderful time!
Thank you Vicki. The kids are already asking me to open an office here. Already regret not making this a strictly Great Ocean Road holiday.. so beautiful. Thanks for convincing me.
Firstly we want to stress that EVERYTHING was perfectly organized and we felt during the whole trip very comfortable. It is not easy to describe high- and lowlights as there were only highlights. We also thought during our flight back and the following days if we – next time – would do anything differently and found out that we would just do the tour exactly the same way. There is nothing we would like to leave out (and most probably there would be still a lot to add). We had a fantastic vacation and we are convinced that this had not been possible without the help of Vicki. Certainly the consultancy fee was worth the money. We not only will book our next Australia vacation (which we definetly want to do!) with the help of Vicki, but we will also highly recommend her services to others.
Many thanks and best regards,
Commenting on my Australia trip, I want to say that it was a superb unforgettable holiday and many thanks for your good preparation and itinerary. It was my first ever visit to Australia and without your help I would not have been able to plan for such an interesting trip. I liked all towns/places you had scheduled in my itinerary. Deepest impressions I had from Sydney, Katoomba, Hunter Valley, Byron Bay and Brisbane. Motoring about 2000 km on different kinds of roads was an enjoyment as such and gave me a possibility to see beautiful countryside, endless forests, mountains with most different shapes, big rivers, steep seaside cliffs, etc… Driving left side of the road was easier than I thought, even in big cities, thanks to friendly driving culture of the people. I would like to visit Australia again after 2 or 3 years to see new places again, maybe southern Australia.
Best regards,
We had an absolutely wonderful holiday in Australia – certainly the best we’ve had with kids! Â And we were really lucky with the weather – hardly a gloomy day, and only a few spots of rain – or did you fix that for us too?!? Our judgement was right to prioritise wildlife & opportunities to see, feed, touch, etc. The kids’ favourite parts were: Australia Zoo – we went with friends on our first Friday, outside of school holidays, and it was lovely & quiet, and the kids loved being able to feed the kangaroos & the elephants, stroke the koalas, and follow the lizards around , Benbellen Farmstay – again the kids were in their elements feeding the alpacas, geese, hens, following Soccie (the dog) around – and loved exploring & paddling in the creek just down the hill , Dolphin spotting in Port Stephens and the Seaplane in Sydney – 30 mins from Rose Bay up to Palm Beach, back over Middle Harbour and to the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. We felt we got good value from your consultancy fee. You saved us $’00s on our flights from Shanghai compared to what we’d found online and via local travel agents. Â Your initial sample itinerary was really good, additional options spot on, and advice on & booking of tours much appreciated. Â Can’t think of anything else you could do for clients in the future. Thank you very much once again from all of us for a truly wonderful adventure in Australia!
Best regards,
We had a wonderful trip to Australia, and enjoyed every day, every place, and every activity. Everything was well organized, the itinerary was our bible, and helped us remember all the things we had booked. We had composed a perfect mix of beach time, city time, countryside, culture, and relaxation. When we started planning our holiday, we had some ideas of what we wanted to do, but you helped guide us to the right locations, understanding our specific needs with three young children. I found your fee well worth the money, I can only imagine the amount of time I would have had to spend to arrange all the booking that you did for me.. We will be in touch!
Vicki was 100% correct in her recommendations on where and how long. Every one of our reservations, from hotels to excursions to Christmas dinner came off without a glitch. We pushed back on Vicki’s recommendation that we spend 5 nights in Queenstown. She assured us that we could use Queenstown as our base and do day trips from there. That advice was spot on. We were so much happier not to be packing up and moving to yet another hotel and were able to do everything we wanted to do from Queenstown. Such a great recommendation that I wouldn’t know if I booked this holiday without her help. Thank you Vicki!
Our opinion: of course you can plan the trip by yourself through the internet: but you have to be prepared to spend a lot of time on doing the research and in the end you find so much info that you can’t distinguish any longer between the good and the better. We also like the way you work: only having to choose from two or three proposed quality accommodations and on the trip itself being free to plan your days depending on the weather and your mood while having all the necessary info at hand. It also gives a good feeling that all reservations are double checked before you leave and that there is someone you could phone when you should need it.
