Just wanted to say a big thank you for your support whilst we were in Australia. We all arrived safely back in the UK yesterday morning. It was really reassuring to know that you were there to help us when our flights were cancelled. Typical that the biggest storm in the world this year got in the way of our flights! I’ll definitely be recommending your brilliant travel agency to my friends and family.
Thanks again. Tracy Tuplin and family
