Chris has an absolute dedication to here clients and leaves no stone unturned in ensuring your holiday is the absolute best experience possible. Her ability to taylor the program to perfectly fit with your nedds and expectations is exempliary. Chris communicates continually to ensure no detail is overlooked. Our road trip from Darwin to Perth was disrupted by COVID and reinstated in 2023. Chris kept track of our deposits and preferences perfectly. I cannot recommend Chris more highly and will be using her again for our domestic and inteernational adventures.

Chris did another fantastic job of organising our Japan ski trip this year. We wanted to try somewhere different instead of the regular Niseko trip. We were after a more traditional Japanese experience and Chris’s recommendations were spot on to go to Myoko on the main island of Honshu. Stayed in a ryokan style Japanese hotel with an incredible onsen and amazing meals. Even the snow stepped for us and we were there for the only decent fall of the season. Got to see the snow monkeys plus great experiences in nearby Nagano.

Thanks to Chris for arranging our river cruise from St Petersburg to Moscow. All went well the treasures in the Hermitage and Catherine's palace are simply wonderful as is the scenery along the waterways. Moscow is a city which never sleeps and would be our favourite place. Thanks for everything.

Chris Hopton is incredible; she goes above and beyond in every aspect of her job and is passionate about making travel easy and enjoyable. My Husband and i have travelled interstate, internationally and have even been spoilt just recently on our first year wedding anniversary. Chris made sure that we received an upgrade and were treated to complimentary champagne and chocolates in our room every day of our wonderful romantic getaway. There is no one else I would trust to plan my flights, travels and holidays! Thank you Chris! I don't know how we would travel without you.

I have just returned from a week long trip to Canberra to visit the Floriade. Chris made all my arrangements with Solo Connections and made sure that all was organized for my flights, accommodation and tour. Chris has managed quite a few trips for me now and I could not ask for a more dedicated travel agent. Chris is also managing my trip to NZ later this year and a European River Cruise in 2020.

Attractive country with very friendly people. Guides very knowledgeable and good drivers. Great food, cooking lessons lots of fun. On back of Vespa through Hue at night a must do again for me. Snorkelling and walking at Hoi An and its historical buildings fabulous. French architectural buildings throughout Vietnam wonderful to see. Mai Chai villages and rural life a great experience and on the lake at Ninh Bin spectacular. Saigon is bustling and exciting with quality, inexpensive shopping. Locals have good sense of humour. I had many laughs. Thanks Chris for a comprehensive, full and exciting itinerary. Will return to Vietnam another time. Save up for game of golf? .

We’ve just finished celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary at Muscat Cove in Fiji. What a beautiful place and absolutely perfect for a family gathering. We all thoroughly enjoyed the resort amenities, friendly staff, delicious organic food from the farm, lovely beach, scenery, walks into the hills behind, dolphins, coral reefs and amazing snorkelling. The list goes on. We loved it all. Thanks again Chris for your help and attention to detail helping us plan this wonderful week.

Thanks Chris, the trip to Japan was excellent, well organised, great accommodation and food. We were so lucky with the weather starting with mild conditions in Osaka which was great for visiting shrines and temples, snow at Mt Fuji, and the cherry blossoms in full bloom in Tokyo. Once again you had made sure I received all the documentation and updates on time and kept in touch to ensure I was happy with all the arrangements. I’m looking forward to my next two trips this year and know that you will be on top of those as well. Cheers Pat

Thank you Chris for going above and beyond as always in all things 'travel' and making our trip to New York run as smoothly as possible .. and for all the detailed responses and assistance leading up to the trip, regarding research into accommodation, flights, dietary requirements etc. it certainly takes the stress out of a holiday knowing any changes are left in your capable hands. Chris you're the consummate professional and dear friend! The girls and I had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back, think it's one of those places that is definitely a repeat destination ... thank you Chris ...and until next time!

Second morning back from sunny Koh Samui and I get your lovely “welcome home” message. Thank you. My trip was a great success and the weather etc., were perfect for ‘lolloping’ in the pool with the required Mojitos!! The hotel that we stayed in was fantastic, and if we had problems with some building work going on, smelly drains, irregular times for cleaning our rooms etc., these were all dealt with beautifully by the hotel staff. The Thai people are such a delight. We did ‘Pooh pooh’ the meeting with the Tour East rep at the beginning, but she proved to be an ideal source of info as to shopping, getting garments tailored etc. So, overall a fantastic time was had by all. Thanks Chris for your amazing organisation skills for this trip and look forward to booking the next extravaganza soon!! Fee

Hi Chris, we had an amazing holiday every step of the way. Everything ran smoothly, train connections, flights (with my special diet on return journey well catered for), hotels (esp Hong Kong) were all welcoming, friendly, helpful and all had great rooms with views. Well done and thanks again for your patience and professionalism. Cathy and Bob

Chris has helped us enormously with two trips. The first was to Europe in 2015 and most recently to NZ in the last month. Chris always gives great practical advice and knows how to get even the trickiest arrangements in place. She was really helpful when we were flying back from Europe the day after the MH incident. This time in NZ she helped with the on ground and inter island transport and it was flawless. Thanks again Chris.

Hi Chris Thanks for the welcome home message. Back to work today and unfortunately Nepal seems a long way away  Our trip was AMAZING…. The mountain scenery was incredible, it’s such a beautiful, rugged country and also very spiritual. The weather was absolutely perfect – a bit of rain on the first and last days – and we coped reasonably well with the chilly weather. The local Nepali people are such friendly, welcoming people considering their standard of living is pretty tough compared to ours. Our experience with World Expeditions couldn’t have been better. The crew were outstanding and assisted with our every need. The food was really good. There was plenty of it and a good variety too. My favourite spot was Kopra Ridge which was our highest point at 4000 metres. It was worth the 3hr steep climb for the spectacular views. The only downside to the trip was we didn’t have enough time to explore more of Kathmandu and surroundings and Pokhara. I’ve attached a couple of photos for you, hope you enjoy them. Thanks again for the welcome home message and for organising such a great trip. Cheers Therese

Hi Chris, I want to share some photos with you . The Rhone river boat cruise with 6star from start to finish . If you can get reduced fares like for Estelle and I did it was fantabulous. Food, service, the cabins, and the day cruises were excellent and ...

Chris would have to be the most kind hearted, helpful and accommodating travel expert I have ever met. She is always quick to respond and makes achieving the impossible seem easy. Chris is not only fantastic at her job but is a beautiful and intelligent woman. I have been using Chris for all my travel needs for over the last 5 years and she has always gone above and beyond what needs to be done. I would never go to anyone else and I would highly recommend her to my friends and family and anyone who is thinking about travelling.
