WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

PEGGY BOURNE

25. November, 2025.

Wonderful travel agency. Everything is looked after so you can go on your holiday and not worry about a thing. Excellent service

DAWN & DAVID MALONEY

25. November, 2025.

The Adventure Traveller was recommended by a family member to give Dean a call to arrange our first overseas trip for many years as we were feeling overwhelmed by many changes to the tourist industry. Dean was so lovely and friendly and made me feel very welcome and made a special point of getting to know more about us first. Communication was always very clear and precise via email. Having confirmation paper Trail was brilliant. Marcella took over all the arrangements and bookings for our flights. Accommodation. Insurance and Vikings Cruise on the Danube. Always felt very confident of where we were going and what we doing. Flight to Dubai and then Budapest all straight forward. Taxi there to take us to our hotel. We always had our emails to check in with for any codes we needed and taxi details. Vikings Cruises were exceptional with their hospitality and service. We felt very special and never forgotten. Slight change around with ships and buses due to flooding on the Danube but never felt short changed at all. Actually given a nice credit towards another Cruise because of the slight change in schedule. We have already let The Adventure Traveller know we will be talking soon. End of our river cruise we stayed in Amsterdam and once again email communication really helped to know where we were heading after our brilliant taxi ride arranged by Vikings. When it was time to check out and take our taxi to airport all the communication was there for our need always forwarding information onto us that they had received from their resources. Flight from Amsterdam to Dubai and Brisbane all negotiated extremely well. We would highly recommend Dean and Marcela at The Adventure Traveller agency. I am feeling excited anticipating our next holiday and having them take care of everything for us. Go for it what are you waiting for. Cheers Dawn David

Dean Tuckwell is the best in the business, an international travel genius that always goes above and beyond. I can’t recommend Dean and The Adventure Traveller team highly enough

BOB BURNS

25. November, 2025.

I highly recommend Devin and his gang at the Adventure Traveller if you a planning a trip in Australia or overseas. He as done a superb job on our upcoming East European trip despite a few political challenges with unrest in Turkey and a number of other places. Have used Devin's services on previous trips to Vietnam, Taiwan, Cambodia and Laos and hopefully we look forward to a few more adventures in coming years.

BECC & JOHN

25. November, 2025.

Hi William, Yes all went well and Jon has returned safe and sound. We just want to thank you so much for making the process seamless and not worrisome. Changing the return twice was also stress free having you there to count on. We will definitely be going with your services again down the track. Your warmth and kindness is a sentiment to your commitment. Thank you so much. We will also definitely recommend you to our family , friends and colleagues.

Kind Regards Becc and Jon. X

DAVID HINDS

25. November, 2025.

Many thanks to Dean and Marcela for the organisation and attention to detail for my recent around the world trip. It was possibly the best overseas trip of the many I've had. Not one hiccup in almost two months of travel. Their attention to detail and in depth experience in the industry meant not one hiccup with flights, hotel bookings, transfers, trains, buses, excursions, and most importantly, the crowning jewel of an expeditionary cruise the Northwest Passage and the Canadian high arctic. Thanks again. I'll be back.

DEAN WESTON

25. November, 2025.

Professional from start to finish, Brilliant service from Glenda (including dropping off some Tour bag-tags to my residence). Would recommend.

CAITLIN BRUNSKILL

25. November, 2025.

My partner and I were recently referred to book in our next holiday with Devin. Throughout the whole process we have never once been disappointed with the service. Devin’s extensive knowledge of each city we are travelling to is remarkable and always making great suggestions to add to our travel plans. He's been very prompt at responding to any of our enquires or requests. Due to COVID restrictions we had to make a couple of last minutes changes to an existing trip. We honestly thought it couldn’t be done given the timing but he managed to quickly get it sorted for us stress free. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and superb at his job. He has gone truly above and beyond what my previous experiences have been with travel agents. If you are looking for a truly unique experience to add to your travels, look no further than booking in with The Adventure Traveller. Once we are able to travel overseas again, we will not hesitate to rebook with Devin.

MITCHELL JAMES ROWING

25. November, 2025.

Have known Dean Tuckwell Over 25 years - Ultimate professional and knowledgeable about any location and any airline/hotel !!! Highly recommend this company.

DAVID MACKINTOSH

25. November, 2025.

Using them for years. Top notch service, nothing too challenging to sort out.

ADRIAN SHARP

25. November, 2025.

Devin has arranged two overseas trips for me so far, one across Canada and another in the U.K., planning everything according to where I wanted to go. Both times he has made the process so easy, I hardly had to do a thing. I had to cut the recent trip short because of the emerging pandemic, and again Devin arranged the changes and cancellations, which made it a lot easier for me whilst in the middle of the trip. I heartily recommend The Adventure Traveller.

JENNY EDE

25. November, 2025.

Would absolutely recommend The Adventure Traveller. It's when things turn upside down whilst travelling that you fully appreciate what a good travel agent does for you. Devin recently got us out of Italy before flights were suspended, which made our situation much less stressful. The assistance he provided during the whole process was fabulous. Thank you!

ANNA ROKY

25. November, 2025.

I recently attended a work trip organised by The Adventure Traveller and was absolutely blown away by the professionalism and expertise of Dean and Marcela. From the very beginning, they were incredibly well-organised, making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. Their knowledge of destinations, and travel logistics, made a huge difference in crafting a truly memorable experience. Marcela’s warm, personable approach made me feel confident and cared for every step of the way. I can’t recommend Adventure Traveller highly enough—if you’re looking for a travel agency that combines passion, precision, and genuine care, this is it! Thank you Dean and Marcela for an unforgettable journey!

PAULA PERKINS

25. November, 2025.

Our family of four has just returned from the most amazing ski adventure and white Christmas in Canada with an Hawaiian thaw out on the way home. Glenda Geeves from the adventure traveller developed our entire itinerary which included out of the box activities which we would otherwise have missed. This is the reason we have gone back to using travel agents. We do around 2 overseas trips a year and travel agents are definitely the cost effective and efficient way to do it. Glenda was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend The Adventure Traveller.

DAVID ANTHONY VIDLER

25. November, 2025.

Many thanks William for making our trip to India an exceptional experience thus far. Our first chapter in Varanasi has come to an end and we could not fault it. Our Travel guide from Inter Asia, Gourav, was amazing. Now looking forward to our next chapter in Jaipur. Thank you William.

NICOLE BEAZLEY

25. November, 2025.

Dean and Marcela are a delight to deal with. We’ve recently booked a trip to Chile and South America with them and it was a breeze thanks to their knowledge and fast turn around times to secure great pricing for flights and cruises. I just rang to make a last minute booking and Marcela had already taken care of it for me! Really looking forward to planning the rest of the trip with them both!

KAI & DAWN RIIHIOJA

25. November, 2025.

Cheery Greetings William. It is so good to hear from you again though it is somewhat sad, especially for your business. We are very pleased to hear you guys have managed to stay in business though which is awesome. The travel industry will pick up again eventually, already many people we know are holidaying within Queensland.

Unfortunately Kai and I cannot afford to catch Coronavirus, given our underlying health problems, our over 55 ages and our being “somewhat portly” we probably would not survive contracting COVID 19.

We are becoming even more reclusive than we were pre COVID......we can only hope the medicos come up with a vaccine for it or with a cure for it sooner rather than later.

We would love to travel overseas again one day when COVID is no longer a danger to us.

With having this rather long enforced break from family and friends and with working from home, we no longer feel like we have to relocate to New Zealand to live, so we are rethinking taking our Finland/England trip again in 2023 when Kai retires, hopefully by then Covid will just be a memory and international travel will be back to a new, regular normal.

And we will definitely be booking that adventure with you.

Thank you and to Cunard for refunding our deposit.

We wish you guys every success for your future and as soon as we can we will be back booking our European Extended Holiday with you guys.

With thanks for the job you do every day William, all the very best wishes to you, your family and to your colleagues,

Please take care, stay safe and please keep staying COVID free,

Warm regards as always.

TAM OLIVER

25. November, 2025.

Highly recommend. Wonderful service leading up to our trip of a lifetime and while we were away.

JAY & IGOR LABZIN

25. November, 2025.

Now that we are back in Australia, we want to say how much we appreciated all the work you put into bringing our Canadian and London holiday together. Every part of the trip — the hotels, tours, transfers, trains, ship, coaches and flights — went exactly as outlined in the itinerary and without a single hitch. While the train through the Rockies certainly sounds amazing, we feel we had the better first-hand experience travelling by coach through Banff and Jasper National Parks. Being picked up and dropped off from hotel to hotel in each town was such a smart and seamless way to explore the region. Your app was also incredibly easy to use and extremely helpful throughout the trip. All in all, the holiday exceeded our expectations. Thank you for creating such a memorable journey for us. Regards , Jay and Igor Labzin PS I have shared your name with friends when talking about the holiday.

VINA WILSON

25. November, 2025.

I used The Adventure Traveller for a trip to Iceland and Copenhagen and Dean and Marcela was fantastic in helping me obtain the fights I wanted, and insurance options too as I was going to do an expedition to remote parts of Iceland. Looking forward to them helping me organise my next adventure.

DANIEL BEATTY

25. November, 2025.

Devin and The Adventure Traveller have helped me book no less than six overseas trips since 2014. Great service every time. 5 stars without a doubt. They have helped me with flights, trains, accommodation, travel insurance, and car hire. Devin really helps cut through the vast amount of options out there and provides me with a small and concise number of options for me to choose from that suit my needs and budget. This means I don’t spend countless hours (which I simply don’t have) searching for myself. All of this aside, the added value of using an experienced Travel Agent really come to the fore in my recent trip to the US where I was caught in the midst of the developing Covid-19 pandemic. Devin was in constant communication, both in the lead up and right throughout my trip, providing us with reliable and accurate information on the developing situation which enabled us to make informed and smart decisions. Once the call was made to cut our trip short, Devin moved quickly to secure us alternative flights home and secured us refunds wherever possible. Again, I can’t recommend Devin and The Adventure Travellers services highly enough and look forward to supporting this small, local business again when these tough times pass, whenever that may be! Stay safe everyone.

JOANNE BOYES

Highly professional, very knowledgeable travel agent. They offer an amazing service including organising all aspects of your travel and are there to support you and make arrangements for you should things out of your control occur while you are travelling.

KATE WILSON

25. November, 2025.

If you want to go on a holiday, chat to Devin! I can not express the level of my gratitude to Devin. He has organised numerous adventures for me and the members of my family over the last 16 years. He knew my family and I might be stuck without a transfer in Bolivia before we did and fixed it! He was watching our travels when weather events were heading our way just in case. This month he got me out Nepal within hours of the pandemic COVID announcement coming through. He is an absolute legend, rock star agent and whom you want to get you home or help you change travel plans when life throws you a curve ball! I’ll be booking with him again when our lives return to normal for another adventure!!!! Thanks Devin!

TAMAR HORE

25. November, 2025.

Very highly recommended. I saved $500 by booking with them instead of booking with my local travel agent. Their service is also exceptional, they’re all so nice and patient.

JESSIE SADLER

25. November, 2025.

Glenda arranged our recent two-week family holiday to Japan and it was one of the best holidays we've had. Her selection of hotels, activities (for big and little kids), train booking and connections and overall attention to detail was outstanding. I have worked with Glenda for several years for holiday and work travel requirements and she continually provides excellent service and is highly organised. She was available while we were in Japan for questions with very quick response times. Thanks Glenda!

KATE WILSON

25. November, 2025.

Whether you want a quiet relaxing holiday or an adrenaline pumping experience of a life time, The Adventure Traveller are your go to team! I have been travelling with Devin for over 10 years and he has taken me to places I never would have dreamed possible. Nothing is too much trouble for Devin and the further you want to get off the beaten track the more he is in his element ticking off your bucket list! Devin's greatest strength is listening to his clients to ensure your next holiday is exactly what you dreamed of. If you want the hassle taken out of your next holiday give The Adventure Traveller team a call. I wouldn't organise an overseas adventure with anyone else!!!

PETER BROPHY

AILEEN TILLEY

"Absolutely nailed it!” Organizing a Cook Islands getaway brimming with snorkeling and tropical water activities on just three days' notice of request was no small feat, but Dean and Marcela rose to the challenge with grace. For the second time, they've crafted an unforgettable, rejuvenating, and thrilling travel experience that I'll cherish as a life highlight. Their professionalism shines through their courteous and highly efficient service. They took the time to understand where I see value and went the extra mile to ensure they delivered precisely that. Their attention to detail and tailored advice, grounded in thorough research, ensured the best value for my adventure. A heartfelt thanks to both Dean and Marcela, and the exceptional team at Adventure Traveller, for orchestrating another remarkable journey."

Dear William, Dean and Glenda, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your advice, care and attention over the past few years that has so enhanced my travel experiences. Prior to coming to see you all at Adventure Traveller I had always organized my own trips however your recommendations and bookings have opened up new adventures and made my travel experiences all the more enjoyable. From limoncello served at the office prior to my walking holiday in Italy to the laughter and joy of organizing a hiking trip pre World Cup in Japan it has always been a great visit to you all in Paddington. I can’t wait till our world becomes a little more normal and I can organise some more exciting travel with you all.

Good luck and kind regards

JESS DEVANE

25. November, 2025.

Outstanding service from Devin who managed to get us last minute flights home from Ireland after we cut our trip short because of the coronavirus pandemic. He constantly kept us updated and made a stressful situation a lot easier for us. We will definitely use him again!

EVA ZACHER MAJ

25. November, 2025.

I used services of The Adventure Traveller for many years. Knowing that I can always count on my agent's support wherever in the world I might find myself gave me sense of security and peace of mind. Visa trouble in Republic of Georgia or trip cancelled in the middle of my Pan American trip from Alaska to Rio de Janeiro; Devin had a solution! Thanks The Adventure Traveller, you are a great travel companion.
