Vicki helps us plan our first trip to Australia with both comfy hotels in Sydney and Melbourne, as well as more adventurous stays on the way driving down to Great Ocean road. She gave us a good selection of different accommodation and fun activities for us and our two teenagers.

We will definitely use her again for our next trip down under!

Vicki organised an outstanding 10 day trip to Western Australia for our group of 11 (including 5 kids ranging from 3-9years old). This was our daughter's 9th birthday trip and our first big vacation post Covid so had big expectations from this trip and Vicki's planning did not disappoint to say the least!
We stayed at 3 uniquely distinct accommodation in Fremantle, Walpole and Margaret River - one by the ocean & the yacht club, the other was a cabin deep in the woods and the third was a lovely farmstay. It's hard to chose a favourite as all 3 catered beautifully to the kids and adults alike and were very different experiences. Vicki was also able to recommend food options and restaurants for us, both for a casual dine-in and also for occasion dining. Little creatures in Fremantle was a highlight, so was the Italian feast at Swings in Margaret River. Our visit to the Bunberry Farmers' market on our way to Walpole was an excellent stop to stock up on all the BBQ essentials for our stay in the cabins in Tinglewood cabins in Walpole.
For the activities and sight seeing options, Vicki was able to cater to the mobility restrictions of the 3 year old while ensuring we get the best of the region. A highlight was the Whale watching tour for our daughter's birthday and the animal experiences within the farmstay every single day of our stay at Andrew's Margaret River Holiday Cottages. Andrew was so friendly with the kids and let them help around the farm & the bonfire making - his stories were really the best! Other places we enjoyed were the GAP, the Tinglewood Giant trees and the Yeagarup sand dune trail. Thanks Vicki for yet another memorable trip!

I had the pleasure of meeting Vicki when I lived as an expat in Shanghai, China over 8 years ago. I booked a trip to Australia and NZ through Vicki’s company and planned a trip of a lifetime with her. Her knowledge, relationships and expertise were unmatched. I reached out to her once again last year to plan a return trip to Australia. We wanted to focus this trip on the Great Barrier Reef and surrounds. Once again, Vicki put together an incredible itinerary. Two days before we were to leave for our trip, Vicki reached out to inform us that a cyclone had caused damage and would disrupt some of our ore-existing plans. Vicki was an absolute pro in jumping in and identifying alternate solutions. We especially loved Lizard Island! I can’t recommend Vicki enough! She is the consummate professional and really came through for us in what could have ruined our trip! Thank you Vicki!

Vicki organised an amazing short stay for us in Uluru. We stayed at Desert Gardens which was a lovely clean and well appointed hotel at the resort. September weather is mild and sunny (great to get away from the Melbourne gloom).We did the Mala guided walk (which was very disappointing) and then the base walk at the rock(amazing). The Silence under the stars dinner was an incredible experience; food great, venue to blow your mind. Kata Tjuta cannot be missed!! Sunrise, breakfast and a walk down the most amazing gorge. Unforgettable. We also experienced the Feild of lights which had us spellbound. The free activities at the resort were great. Didgeridoo, bush tucker and weapons talks were informative and fun. In all, our experience at Uluru was unforgettable and will be a wonderful memory forever. (We won't talk about Jetstar?).. And none of it would have been achieved as easily and stressful without our lovely, experienced, friendly AET agent, Vicki. Thankyou so much

We were given Vicki's name by a mutual friend, and it's the best referral I've ever been given. Vicki helped us plan a 9 day trip to Tasmania around our interests and priorities. She helped with everything--suggestions, accommodations routes, transport, etc. She was there to support me when I had questions, and she followed along and periodically inquired about how things were going. I really appreciated the hand-holding that made this such a memorable trip!

We absolutely loved our 2 week South Island NZ road trip Vicki arranged for us.
I had been in a panic trying to find lodging during peak season, and Vicki was able to secure for us a variety of lovely, dependable lodgings that suited our needs. She gave us a couple of options to stay at each location so the decision process wasn’t overwhelming.
She also created a schedule that paced our road trip perfectly so that we weren't wearing ourselves out driving the whole time, allowing us to dwell and enjoy key places a few days at a time.
We started in Queenstown/Milford Sound and drove north on an inland scenic route stopping in Wanaka, Lake Tekapo and finishing at Akaroa. The trip was wonderful and we would do it all over again!
The time, guesswork and stress Vicki spared us in trying to plan the trip ourselves was well worth her fee. We would gladly recommend her services!

Wow! Gorgeous nature, beautiful, clean beaches, fabulous food and wine, opportunities for adventure as well as relaxation... our Great Ocean road, Melbourne, Manly & Sydney 2 week holiday was terrific. The wildfires did not impact our trip too much (did have to cancel Blue Mountains) but Vicki quickly arranged excellent alternatives that we loved! Reliable, personalized service and spot on suggestions for eating, drinking and generally making the most of our time in Australia were made possible by Vicki’s attention to detail and extensive knowledge of the country. Highly recommend a visit, you won’t be disappointed 🙂 Trip taken Jan2020
