Alison made our holiday planning to New Zealand seamless and stress-free. Communication was excellent; she was always available to help, quick to respond and I really felt she understood what kind of experience we wanted for our family holiday. Every detail was perfectly arranged, and nothing was ever a problem. We had an amazing trip without any hiccups!

Alison helped us with our family trip to Bali to celebrate our daughters 18th. We could not be happier with the smooth process, abundance of information we were given, our villa was amazing and the staff so accomodating with yummy breakfasts, access to book a driver throughout our stay. We are planning a trip to Europe in 2025 and we will be sure to chat to Alison again!

Alison was a great choice for our trip to Europe, from our first enquiry to final payment for our river cruise stop overs and land content. Great and quick communication with all our travel requests sorted. Loved the application that you can download on your phone that held our itinerary and documents in one area with reminders for flights etc. Great way to keep track of booking numbers and upcoming flights. Would highly recommend using Alison as we will for any future trips.

Allison was by far the most professional travel agent I have had any dealings with, ever. With her very quick response to my queries regarding my complicated travel requirements. Thank goodness as it was two countries and several locations, proving very difficult for me to align up. Allison worked her way around it all seamlessly. As I was to discover during my trip, she was a text or email away and again immediately responsive. Highly impressed and I will definitely be using her services next year again.

Thankyou Alison for helping us organise an amazing trip to Canada. We got to see my son Jacob who is currently living there and enjoy all that he loves about Canada. All the accommodation booked was great and flying Air Canada also great. Everything went beautifully. Thanks again.

Terry/Gail Marskell

Thank Alison, for planning us yet another holday. Our trip to NZ was a fantastic journey. Very full on but our tour leader and drivers were the best and made sure our tour of both North and South Islands was a great experience, Grand Pacific Tours is definitely the company to travel with if touring NZ by coach. Unfortunately we experienced rain about 80% of our holiday however it did not dampen the spirit of the 31 travellers on our bus. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Wow Maldives bucket list destination. We have spent the last 20 years visiting amazing destinations but the Maldives has to be in the top 3. We were very wary of the travel situation after covid and wanted to engage an experienced travel agent to make sure this trip didn’t go wrong. Alison was fantastic to work with and she secured us a beautiful resort all inclusive with added extras along the way. We can’t thank Alison enough for all her research and organising. We will book with Alison again soon.

Firstly, thankyou Alison, what a wonderful person you are. Thankyou for checking in with me with texts and welcoming me home. Trip to Darwin was great. Regards Renate!

Alison assisted with our travel plans starting back in 2019/2020 when we transferred accommodation booked in Fiji from another family member to myself and my partner and arranged airfares for us. Then Covid hit and Alison helped us cancel the accommodation and airfares. Alison kept us advised as to our airfare credits and the date by which we had to use our credits. We recently used our airfare credits to travel to Perth and Alison helped arrange airfares and accommodation in Fremantle (staying at the Esplanade which we loved). As not experienced travellers, Alison provided great advice about parking for our vehicle at the airport and sending reminders for our flights, check in times, etc and welcoming us when we got back home. Thank you Alison for your great work over an extended period of time to finally get us on a holiday! Hopefully we can use your services again soon.

Alison is our travel advisor. She was very personable and super organised on a complicated trip to Canada under crippling COVID rules. Excellent communicator. Easy to Contact. Timely information. Very logical option flight analysis. Treated us like her parents. No question was too silly to answer (even twice). We are very grateful to Alison. Highly recommended.

Recently went on a Cruise to Vanuatu and booked through Alison McGovern who was the most patient and thoughtful travel agent by far. I occurred a lot of problems with needing to find a person to stay in the same room with me and Alison was always so helpful and provided me with many options. I couldn't recommend her enough. She was constantly one step ahead and really cared for myself and the other people who booked the cruise with her. She gave us lots of pointers and went above and beyond to make our holiday one to remember. Thanks Al xx

Flew to Brisbane with Qantas stayed overnight at Ibis Airport hotel which we can thoroughly recommend,which is within walking distance from domestic terminal. Can get a shuttle from Hotel to airport for $5.00 per person. The remainder of our trip flying to Sydney and back and transfers to and from the Sydney Airport to the Cruise Ship with the Princess Coach and the overall Cruise, food and entertainment on board the Diamond Princess was excellent, we were lucky to have beautiful weather and calm seas which also allowed us to enjoy our balcony. The scenery in Tasmania was stunning. The only hiccup we had when on arriving at the Sydney Terminal was the access to the luggage depositing area for the Ship because there was a large number of people blocking the access. However after ridding ourselves of the luggage boarding the ship was a quick friendly and efficient process. We also found that the anytime dining arrangements on the ship allowed us to meet and dine with many different people from different countries which was most enjoyable. We would like to thank Alison McGovern of MTA Travel for helping to make our trip pleasant and hassle free. Keith and Shirley King

Our January Cruise Trip on the Sea Princess for our family was exceedingly enjoyable and all arrangements made by you fell into place perfectly. There were no hassles and we would like to thank you sincerely for making these arrangements for us for a great trip which was enjoyed by Shirley and I and our three sons and daughter-in-laws.

This was our second holiday booked through Alison. The organisation and support that we received went a long way to making this the 10/10 holiday that it was.You can pick the best destination and hotels in the world, but if its not planned right it can all be for nothing. The MTA app proved very helpful along the way with constant updates on flights, gate numbers and changes. Our next holiday will definitely be with Alison.

I was recommended to book with Alison from MTA. From the first phone call to our return following our trip, Alison offered exceptional service. Recommending the Singapore Stopover Programme which made for an amazing and affordable stay in Singapore on our way home from Cambodia. I would highly recommend Alison, even just to run ideas past because I found she had a comprehensive knowledge of travel and offered different alternatives which can make for an enjoyable and affordable holiday. Just give Alison a call, you won't be disappointed.

One of the highlights of our holiday was being met at Venice airport, after 22 hours in the air, by a generous young man, who assisted us to the water taxi terminal, a 20 minute walk with luggage! He was friendly and knowledgeable and had the water taxi waiting to take us into our hotel just off the Grand Canal. Having not been to Venice before, that particular trip is just fabulous! Two days later he arrived to take us to the Cruise Terminal and again was so helpful. All pre and post accommodation was excellent and all connections were spot on, even to the Qantas representative who met us at Brisbane on our return, to expedite our transfer through to the Domestic terminal.
