Debra's clients sharing their experiences
My husband and I have been using Deb for travel since 2016. Her invaluable knowledge in all aspects of travel have made our holidays trouble free, easy and a joy to plan. Deb is always there with a great suggestion or an extra idea. Over the years she has given us great advise on special places to go throughout Europe, wonderful tips and an overall feeling of calm knowing that she is there in the background at any time. We even threw our adult children her way and they were all extremely grateful for her incredible travel experience and helpful advice. Thanks, Deb, for your amazing patience, unending enthusiasm and professionalism while still feeling like you're organising a holiday with a close friend.
15 October 2024 at 06:43 pmWe have booked our many travel arrangements through Deb at MTA travel over the years and have never once been disappointed. Attention to detail, professionalism, and efficiency have provided us with multiple travel experiences we will always remember. Deb takes the stress out planning a holiday. Accommodation, flights and tours have consistently been to our standard and nothing is too much trouble. All our bookings have run smoothly and efficiently, with many suggestions to improve our holiday experiences. The ease of using the MTA App means there is no lugging around of paperwork, allowing contact with Deb when needed. Our recent trip to Sicily and Malta were exceptional, and we look forward to many more holiday experiences through Deb. Thank you Deb!

29 August 2024 at 02:19 pmMy family and I use Deb for all of our overseas travels and even a couple in Australia. We could not recommend her more highly. She is friendly and always there to help and is extremely patient when it comes to helping her clients make the right decision. We just returned from a 3 week trip in Vietnam arranged by Deb and we could not fault it one bit. The hotels were amazing and the itinerary worked perfectly. Deb even came to our rescue when we had a wrong passport number on our visa and we only had an hour until our next flight. We have recommended Deb to our family and friends and recommend that you let her help you too.
15 August 2024 at 03:40 pmIt has been delightful working with Deb for our travel within Australia and overseas to many destinations over the past few years. Always accommodating and accessible, nothing is too much trouble. Apartment in London - done, car hire around Ireland - no problem, train trips around outback Queensland - booked, river cruises in Europe and Asia - best cabin available secured! Living in Victoria has not been an issue and we have always received excellent service. Highly recommend Deb who genuinely cares and is always willing to help.
29 June 2024 at 12:08 pmDeb is our “go to” for any trip. We find her knowledge invaluable and she is always so happy to help. We have used her now for several trips and our last one being Europe was flawless. She was able to secure the best tickets and our holiday was amazing and smooth sailing. As a result we recommend Deb to all our friends and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a great travel agent.

23 July 2018 at 05:55 pmGood Morning My daughter Ebony and myself have just returned from Europe - Paris, Ghent, Dusseldford-Neuss and Amsterdam. We book our trip through Deb Johnston MTA Travel even though with live in Central Victoria. Her professionalism was outstanding. The airline flights were long but Etihad was great. We actually booked Airbnb's ourselves and that was fantastic. But Deb booked our train trips from point to point and gave us so much advice on where to go and what to see. And it was all short notice for her so thanks Deb it was an absolute blast. Considering Ebony is 24 and I'm 64 boy oh boy that did not stop us. hehe Would certainly use Deb again in a heartbeat.
21 June 2018 at 10:40 amI have been using Deb Johnston to help with all aspects of my travel arrangements (both personal & business) for many, many years. Her attention to detail, up-to-date knowledge (if she doesn't know the answer to a query she finds out) and general attentiveness to her clients requirements are without peer. I have recommended many friends and colleagues to MTA Travel Expert, Debra Johnston, and never have I or any of those who have used her services been disappointed. Deb goes the extra miles (pardon the pun) to ensure that all the ticketing and travel documents are correct, they are always provided well before the travel date and without fail she has followed-up on our return. Most of our travel arrangements are quite complicated (some would say needy) but nothing fazes Deb - she is the consummate professional and weaves her magic and delivers exactly what is required to ensure us a stress-free travel experience. Some of my friends ask if I would ever travel without the support of a travel agent and without fail I answer with a definite ..... NO!. Without the support of my expert travel consultant, Deb Johnston, I would have been lost on a number of occasions - foreign country, ambulance and medical treatment required, travel arrangements requiring changing - she was able to co-ordinate our needs and all other aspects of our requirements and did so with minimal fuss. I have no hesitation in recommending Debra Johnston for any travel requirements and assistance in planning the ultimate travel experience.
27 February 2018 at 07:34 pmWe have had the pleasure of using Debra’s services for arranging overseas travel for many years, going back to the days before she was wise enough to join MTA. It is even a greater pleasure to work with her as an MTA Travel Expert. Most of our trips have included multiple stopovers and destinations; cruises [ocean, river and canal]; connecting plane or flight arrangements [often using small local carriers]; hotel arrangements [usually boutique]; and pre-booking tourist sites [such as the Alhambra]. Travelling from Perth to overseas, for us, generally involves visiting several destinations rather than being a straightforward return trip. So it can get complicated! Far too much so than for us to organise the minute ad exacting details ourselves. The destinations have been many: Croatia, France, Spain, Germany, Prague, Vanuatu, Fiji, USA, UK, Norway, China and more. The only time we ever had an issue was when we attempted to book one hotel ourselves and got it wrong! Debra’s travel arrangements for us have been totally flawless. The attention to detail and the documentation has been fabulous. Debra gives much time to making sure that everything is covered, and does this with the patience of several Saints rolled into one. Efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, experienced are just some of the other adjectives we could use in describing Debra’s personal and professional attributes. Quite frankly, there is no way we would go anywhere else for travel advice and organisation other than to Debra. She comes with our highest possible recommendation.
14 February 2018 at 03:36 pmDebra offers what can only be described as a bespoke travel service. She has offered and arranged a number of incredible experiences for us in many different parts of the world, her knowledge and extensive experience ensures our trips are planned to perfection and her attention to detail means we travel with complete confidence. One aspect that differentiates Debra from other travel advisers is the fact she is often able to offer a number of viable alternatives when planning a trip, her research and world wide contacts ensures we are able to select from the best of what there is on offer. When inevitably travel plans go astray Debra has proven herself at working her contacts, on one occasion through the night to get our trip back on track. I would thoroughly recommend Debra to anyone planning a holiday or travel experience.
05 December 2017 at 10:31 amI am very pleased with the reliable and prompt service I have received through Ms Debra Johnston. Her happy disposition makes for ongoing communication at anytime very easy to ask many questions. The knowledge she has in all areas of travel is quite reassuring. In my many bookings with Ms Johnston the plane and train connections in Europe were always well connected and accommodation perfect. She is a very professional travel agent and I have recommended her to many friends.
