About Tess

I have over 34 years' expertise and knowledge for all your travel dreams.
Living in the Northern Territory for many years has given me the opportunity to explore our Outback, on the train, tours and driving holidays. As well as this I spend a lot of time around the sun and surf, with the Queensland Islands and Cairns being some of my favourites.
Tours these days can be a group of 12, 18 or 45, travelling Europe, Cuba, Mexico. I know the companies and wholesalers to meet your needs, whatever journey you have in mind.
I also create tailor-made itineraries in Asia, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Chang Mai and just about anywhere in the world. I have ground operators in most countries, so if you have a problem I am there to help you.
You may wish to travel 3,4 or 5 star packages. I can put together a package to suit your budget.
Need to know the best time to travel? Or just don't know where to go? Not a problem, my honesty and experience will help you out.
I know aircrafts, your seats, meals and capturing the best deals.
I have a very high repeat base of clients, so you know you'll be totally spoilt and looked after, during the planning of your holiday, during your holiday, and after your holiday.
Appointments recommended, via phone or in person.
I am looking forward to your enquiry, as my experience will make all your dreams come true!
