Sonya

We spoke to Sonya in regard to a family get together destination. Sonya provided several suggestion. We decided on Vietnam. Flights were co ordinated from London, Melbourne & Dubbo. All accommodation in Sydney, HCMC & Hoi An was booked, plus all transfers from airport to hotel & reverse. Some return flights were cancelled and Sonya calmly provided information and rescheduled these for us. We were very grateful as this was quite stressful and Sonya did it all for us plus organised an upgrade on our flights. We are now planning our next holiday with Sonya. Thank you Sonya for all your help & guidance. Peter and Jen

From the moment we mentioned what we thought we wanted, Sonya was able to pull together an itinerary that suited us perfectly. Our ten days touring the Red Centre of Australia was timed and planned in a fashion that allowed us to enjoy every space and location without being rushed, or finding ourselves lagging. Thank you Sonya for you high level of organisation and navigating all our needs from flights, car hire, booking of events, accommodation and meals! We shall return as we save for our next trip.

I can’t say enough good things about Sonya. Always very keen to assist with all travel needs. I would highly recommend her.

Sonya Hogan is the absolute go to for reliable travel planning and itinerary detailing. I have been delighted to work with Sonya, always pleasant, calm and able to solve any problem presented to her, no matter from where it is in the world and no matter what time it is in the world. Sonya takes the stress out of travel, has wonderful knowledge and advice to top it all off. I will continue to avail myself of Sonya’s skills and professionalism. Thank you Sonya

We can’t speak too highly of Sonya as an agent. We have just returned from a wonderful trip and she worked hard to make it amazing. We hit a health snag early on and Sonya worked really hard to rearrange our schedule. We had to speak to her on a daily basis for a while and she was always calm and helpful, supplying us with great travel ideas. She made our trip even better than originally planned. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Susie and John North

Hi Sonya We’re back home! Thanks so much for organising a lovely trip for us. After the Covid shock you managed to turn things around and make everything amazing! Both air flights were very good and the transfers were seamless! The apartment in London was amazing. So comfortable and convenient. Kitchen and washing facilities were excellent! It was great that they could accommodate us for a longer stay. Sardinia was fabulous! The Flamingo Resort was really good. It may not suit everyone as it was quite far away from the centre, but for us it was just what we needed after a busy time in London. The pool was fantastic, the food good and we enjoyed nightly entertainment by the pool. Then the Palazzo was marvellous. We were given a great welcome and it was very luxurious. Flights to Nice were very easy and the hotel there was lovely. There was a pool on the roof. Wonderful!. Can’t speak highly enough about Seabourn! We’d forgotten how luxurious it is. Couldn’t fault it in any way. We were looked after perfectly and the cruise director was fabulous! He worked so hard and made every day fun! The singers and dancers on board were excellent and we saw some fantastic shows. Visiting entertainers were also great. We didn’t miss a show! Disembarking was so easy. The bags were easy to find and they were taken by a porter to our waiting car. We were then met at the airport by Seabourn reps who took our bags and helped us find our gate. The Emirates lounge at Rome was amazing! Could even rival the Chairman’s Lounge in Sydney. Great food and drink and wonderful service. We boarded the plane straight from the lounge which made things very easy. All in all it was one of the best trips ever! Can’t wait to plan the next one! Thanks so much for all your hard work and brilliant organisation. Susie x

Sonya started her career booking holidays for my parents and has remained our go to travel agent (she just finished planning the perfect honeymoon for my son and daughter-in-law, so the family tradition continues).She has planned memorable family holidays from Beaches in Mexico, flying safaris in Kenya, family ski trips to shopping in Melbourne and camping under the stars in Ayers rock to name a few. Each trip tailored to our needs and budget , often taking us on the road less traveled and something that cannot be found with an online agent. Sonya even managed to bring my daughter home from Japan at the start of Covid when no other agent thought it possible. Sonya truely is a personal travel agent who listens to her clients needs and works tirelessly to ensure ever need is met .

Sonya has been my preferred travel consultant for many many years. I have trusted Sonya with our family holiday arrangements from when my children were small. My adult children now consult her independently for their own holidays. Sonya’s attention to detail and knowledge of the travel industry have made our holidays special and hassle free. Sonya is honest, trustworthy and reliable and my family thoroughly recommend her Travel and Lifestyle Services.

I have been lucky enough to know Sonya since I did my very first work experience with her at Western Plains Travel over 25years ago. I always knew I loved to travel and as age and life experience has given me the opportunity to do so, having Sonya’s worldly knowledge and expertise has made some of our best holiday experiences ever. We have been lucky enough to work beside Sonya on some of the most amazing trips, and having the safety of a travel agent when things don’t go to plan is super important. I have tried to plan and book myself, and I guarantee you Sonya always beats any price I get, and with that comes security, reliability and expert advice for your destination. Australia or the world, Covid or no Covid, Sonya is there day or night to help you secure the best deal and advice. I would have any hesitation in recommending Sonya for your next domestic or overseas holiday.
