Melbourne holiday packages.

Five times voted the World’s Most Liveable City, as the Melbournians know, Melbourne is Australia’s southern belle. Multicultural and ever-changing – just like the seasons – here, some of the world’s finest art galleries sit comfortably alongside government-funded street graffiti, wide tree-lined streets meet grand Victorian-era architecture, and busy shopping arcades transform into webs of tiny laneways. There’s a flavour to tempt every taste bud; Melbourne has more restaurants and cafes per capita than any other city, with an assortment of cuisines that reads like a list of the United Nations and no end of stylish bars.

I approached W2T with a rough idea of a holiday that I was interested in but hadn’t completely sold myself on, basically some rough dates and ideas to canvas and get the plan underway. From here W2T made things so easy that it quickly became a reality. They were happy to accommodate changes to the draft itinerary and offered further links and help to add to the plans I’d given them. Most importantly, it was very fairly priced. The result was a very happy customer; two weeks in Sth Africa with flights and accommodation seamlessly sorted. The locations picked were perfect to access the best parts of Johannesburg and Cape Town and the weather (whilst out of W2T’s control) was spot on too. The responsiveness, knowledge and general service from James was outstanding and I will absolutely contact these guys again for my next trip. Kind regards, Sean Lester

Thank you so much for helping on this. I couldn't have done it without you.... I have a friend here trying to get home on qantas and she has been hung up on for three days now. Makes me even more thank you. Jackie Pilkington

Hi James, Thank you for all your hard work organising and coordinating our holiday. Everything ran so smoothly for us, your efforts made all the difference. We had the most wonderful time! It was so special to holiday all together- the first time all together in 4 1/2 years! Dad has already started talking about the next family holiday!. Thanks again for everything, James - Kass

We were looking at booking Club Med and unfortunately their website couldn’t process our requests. I contacted where2travel and James responded instantly. He’s quick responses and service has been amazing. Everyone was organised within days, and we were extremely happy. Thank you James for doing an amazing job.

Many thanks Garrath. Our take from all dealings with you—over last 1-2 years— and notably recently, is that Liz and I are extremely fortunate to have landed in your territory. So —“ here’s to a long continuation of enjoyable association with you, and where2travel.” Cheers Robin

Thank you so much for organising flights and sending details which we now have. You even managed a fantastic luggage allowance, I can't thank you enough for all you have done for us especially in these difficult times. You are an amazingly clever knowledgeable travel agent, patient and kind and we thank you for all you have done for us over the years. Lets hope the travel industry thrives again. Hope you have a special Easter and a well earned rest love best wishes from Chris and Clive

Just wanted to thank you for a very prompt and efficient organization of our holiday from flights to car to accommodation... everything was exceptional and it made for a great holiday 🙂 Evi and I were wrapped and we look forward to dealing with you in our future ventures .. next big one in august in NZ fingers crossed! Kind regards Lisa and Evi

We just wanted to say again how wonderful Fiona Provis has been as our Travel Designer over many years but in particular we wanted to acknowledge her work during this very challenging time. She has been amazing and handled all our bookings and cancellations and rebookings with minimum fuss to ensure that we were as little out of pocket as possible and setting up our trip all over again for next year. She has kept us posted continually with emails and phone calls and has made our travel woes less so. We so appreciate all her efforts. We wish you all safe and healthy times ahead. Judy and Neil Fawcett

Thanks for arranging this. We're very glad we used professionals rather than try to do this ourselves. We appreciate all your assistance and we'll certainly be back to book our trip with you when this crisis settles down. From Maurie & Vera Hasen

What a fabulous trip. I am templed and bus-ed out. Cruiseco were so well organised with everything they did. Even changes to the itinerary didnt faze them. John Hickman was sensational with his organising of the golf, co-coordinating with Cruiseco before, during after the boat trip. Hats off to both of them. From the tour guides to the buses, they did it so professionally. Rosie was the Cruiseco Host on the boat. So professional, from singing to organising shows for the evening. Diversity of people - I was the youngest except for John & Nicole. Glad to get home. I think 14 days of Vietnam & Cambodia is more than enough. Many thanks for your assistance - Trevor Hamilton

The trip has been an eye opener and our experiences of Sri Lanka have been wonderful. It is certainly a green lush country. The service is excellent, and the hotels have all been great experiences in themselves.

I don’t think I can go back to ‘cruising’ again and intend to go on ‘expeditions’ instead!”

It’s certainly not easy today to find a great Holiday Cruise feeling inundated with so much choice and information. This all changed the moment we called and spoke to Peter Heathcock at where2Travel. I promise you, within 10 minutes Peter had us feeling confident, comfortable and booked without hesitation. The best way to say how Peter made us feel, was, he first listened, and really cared and his expertise just flowed so naturally. Peter also mentioned there was another similar room, so I immediately called a friend and she then called Peter. She too was so impressed with Peter’s manner of sharing that she also made a booking. Both of us were in Peter’s office the next day feeling so grateful sitting with our very own Travel Designer. Let me say that again…… our very own Travel Designer. Peter’s patience and attention to detail, going above and beyond, decades of experience, generous spirit of the heart working smoothly and calmly providing outstanding client service. And we know once we take our cruise, we will write another top-end review because all Peter wants now is for us to have the best Holiday Cruise ever…..and we absolutely will……thank you, Peter.

If you can imagine what discovery of these tombs, temples and artefacts must have meant to the archaeologists concerned, after in some cases 3000 years, then the fact that we are lucky enough to be able to visit them, is a privilege indeed.

Kate's strengths are endless!  Her customer service is superb, we have always felt our needs are understood, and Kate makes every effort to give us guidance towards our travel goals.  Even when we have cancelled planned trips, she has been supportive and able to guide us into something more suitable. She is extremely knowledgable about travel destinations, and has her finger on the pulse.  Nothing is too much trouble. Kate has been our agent for over 12 years, from a walk in visit to her shopfront, where we were lucky enough to be greeted by Kate, and from there our relationship began.  She has managed us through a couple of emergencies, in a calm and practical way, and we know she is always there if we need her.We cannot recommend her highly enough. - John and Carole

Kym has a personal touch, and takes the time to find out what you want from your trip, and give you tips and advice on how to make sure your trip is really memorable. It really takes the hassle out of planning your trip when you have your own personal travel "google" who can point you in the right direction and avoid getting swayed by false paid endorsements you often find on travel websites. Kym helped us plan our cruise to NZ, got us a great cabin centrally located, yet quiet enough. She recommended shore trips and provided some great advice on preparing for the cruise. Once we got aboard we knew what to expect and were ready for our big adventure. I would highly recommend consulting Kym before your next big trip. - Jacqui Butcher

I have booked many trips through Kym both locally and international and business and personal. Kym is amazing with work with and is so knowledgeable and professional. Kym really makes it so much easier than trying to organise it all yourself and provides so many great suggestions. Highly recommend! - Jo Tyler

Sarah is an amazing travel agent.. We have been using her services for over 18 years.. We have booked many family holidays, from USA to Europe to business working trips and she also helped my mum on her first cruise this year!! She had many appointments with my elderly mum and she was lovely and helped every step of the way - even when the luggage went missing at Sydney Airport! You will not get a better advocate for travel and she can deal with all aspects from business late minute changes to elderly family holidays !! Thanks for all your help with all our trips Sarah xx ~ Cinzia
