OUR GUEST BOOK

We had never used a travel agent before and were very pleased with our itinerary and Laurel's responsiveness. Laurel took our unformed ideas and created a wonderful itinerary, both in the sense of activities but also in the sense of time. We were kept busy but were not overwhelmed with action. She was also responsive to our changing ideas. When we decided that we didn't want two ocean boat tours, she easily pivoted to other activities to replace the one we wanted to skip. We also appreciated the attention to detail in logistics. Picking up the rental car was very easy, the hotel in Port Douglas was luxurious and very convenient to the beach and town cent, and the stay near Cape Tribulation was really isolated and in the rain forest which gave us a different experience. Overall we were very pleased with the service that we received from Laurel and the team and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to travel to Australia.

Jasmine was excellent keeping me informed, answering my questions etc. she always responded promptly.

Inside Australia travel really made our travel plans much easier, love the app and especially Jasmine was very helpful with perfect choices of accommodations and recommendations to meet our budget. I really enjoyed our trip the only minus was the rainy weather for the last couple of days of the trip. I hope we can come back at summer or spring soon. Will definitely use your service again and recommend to other travelers. Thank you for the hospitality and great experience.

There was nothing that was too much trouble for Laurel. The quality of her knowledge and flexibility to respond to our changing needs was fantastic and made the experience truly a positive experience.

I recently returned from a wonderful two-week Australian tour (30 May to 12 June 2024) organized by Hannah Carman, and I am beyond thrilled with the experience. From start to finish, every aspect of the trip was impeccably planned and executed. From the very first interaction, Hannah was incredibly responsive and attentive. She took the time to understand my travel preferences, interests, and budget. The customized itinerary she designed was perfectly tailored to my needs, featuring a mix of iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and leisure activities. Communication was seamless, and I felt well-informed every step of the way. The comprehensive travel package, including detailed itineraries(personalised App) and all necessary documents, was delivered well in advance. Thanks to the meticulous planning by Hannah, my family and I were able to embark on a memorable travel adventure. Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication to creating exceptional travel experiences are unmatched.

Hello Jasmine! I hope this email finds you well. We have had a great time on all the tours!! Thank you so much for everything it has been really great ❤️We are resting today. We will do some laundry- it was so nice being able to do laundry at the Desert Gardens Hotel. We had a great time on all our tours!! We have learned so much about the places and the people. I cannot tell you how great our family trip has been. In Haida language, the word Haw’aa means thank you. Haw’aa Haw’aa Haw’aa❤️❤️❤️

Detailed trip planned including destinations in Australia and New Zealand for a family of 6. Expertly planned, perfectly executed. Made it easy that the trip could be followed on the app each day and an itinerary was provided for us every day. Made our travel seamless. Even offered different options if we wanted to experience a bit more off the beaten path. Perfect suggestions such as a stop off at Palm Cove beach for a quick swim in between destinations. We loved our time in NZ and AUS, thank you for your expertise in getting us here!

Neisha did a great job organizing our Australian vacation and we had a wonderful time. She planned our New Zealand vacation in November, 2023 and we were so pleased my wife insisted we use her again when we found out she also planned Australian vacations. Vacations are so much better when everything flows smoothly and the hotels, rental cars, and apartments are ready when you expect them to be. We told Neisha the kinds of things we like and the kind of accommodations we liked and she came through with flying colors! I highly recommend letting Neisha plan your vacation, I know I will be giving her a call when I get to come back! Thanks, Michael Till

My wife and I have just completed a four-week vacation in Australia organized by "Inside Australia ". Vickie Parrack was our travel consultant. Our custom itinerary was put together by Vickie following several telephone discussions and exchanges of emails with us. Our itinerary (omitting the details of numerous multi-day stopovers) can be summarized as follows: Melbourne, drive to Adelaide, fly to Cairns, drive to Port Douglas, overnight train to Brisbane, drive to Noosa, Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, Newcastle and Sydney. Our strategy was to stay in excellent, well-located hotels in the major cities, and to be more economical in smaller locations. Hotels that deserve a special mention were The Langham in Melbourne and The Four Seasons in Sydney, both of which were wonderful and incredibly well-located. Peppers in Port Douglas and Rydges in Newcastle were excellent as well. Finally - not a hotel but a train - the accommodation on the Spirit of Queensland train from Cairns to Brisbane, a 25-hour journey, was excellent. The "rail beds" are super-comfortable and comparable to the lie-flat seats in the business class cabin on an aircraft. We’re really glad we didn’t try to drive from Cairns to Brisbane. It would be a very long drive on less-than-wonderful roads.

Dear Petra, Thank you so much for your help and guidance with planning our itinerary for our Australian driving tour. All the hotels that you picked out were very comfortable and beautiful! We loved the personality and uniqueness of each place we stayed (especially the historical Carrington in the Blue Mountains). We did stop at a couple of your recommendations along our driving tour and enjoyed each area we explored. We had a very special koala encounter at the Koala Sanctuary, and the dinner cruise on Sydney Harbour was amazing.

Trip was very nice and well organised. We enjoyed it. Thanks for your advice in organising. When discussing Australia travel with others we will refer to your company.

We are back home safe and sound after a truly wonderful trip, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you, again, for everything. Our trip went off without a hitch, we had an incredible amount of fun, all of our lodging was in top notch locations and worked very well, and we absolutely fell in love with your country! There are just too many amazing moments of our vacation to recount, and we appreciate all of your work in putting it together for us.

We recently concluded a most rewarding visit and journey to Australia. We owe this good fortune to our contact with Andrew Lawson at Inside Australia Travel. We contacted him approx. 10 months prior to our Australian tour. During that time, Andrew was a beacon of enthusiasm, support, with keen attention to detail, and also most accommodating when we edited our travel plans. He made the entire process seamless and, quite frankly, very easy. Andrew offered the very best in accommodations, tours, and travel within Australia. All the reservations were spot on. There were absolutely no glitches in this travel experience. Therefore, we could not be more thankful or appreciative for all that Andrew did to make this great Australian experience happen.
