About us

“Just giving you feedback and a big thank you for your arrangements.

Cindy, two boys and myself really enjoyed the whole trip, the transportation, timing and accommodation.

Here I would specially appreciate Justine from Abel Tasman Eco tour. He is so nice and a knowledgeable mentor. He inspired me a lot on the nature, eco, responsibility, value and lifestyle. My son is still talking about him now. He is also an excellent skipper as I have very serious seasick and I know he tried best to handle the boat. Definitely highly recommended.

Another unforgettable memory is Furneaux Lodge Restaurant. The dish sizes are so big that changing my understanding of western food. Very different and delicious. The waitress was careful and friendly.

The itinerary is quite relaxed, not in hurry, varied and special to us, much different to my previous travel experience in last 15 years in NZ.

A short video of this trip attached to share with you.”

“I want to thank you & your team very much for organising such an amazing visit to Stewart Island & Doubtful Sound. Everything went very well – accommodation was superb, with both the Oban & Te Anau places offering kiwi-style hospitality. All the land-based trips went very well, with the visit to Ulva Island an experience that will stay with us for a long time.

The Doubtful Sound cruise was an experience to remember – we had exceptional weather, only 21 passengers on board (many of whom had been with us to the caves the day before!), and we got to experience sailing under sail on the Tasman Sea! I even had a swim in the sound!! Also, we were able to experience 10 minutes of absolute quiet just after dawn – no wind, the clouds clinging to the fiord sides, the ship’s engines & generators turned off, no photos taken, with just the remnants of the dawn chorus in the background – an incredible feeling! The crew were amazing and made the whole cruise experience an absolute delight. But our thanks to you and whoever else was involved! We’ll certainly be back for more!!”

“Ita and I returned from Tauranga yesterday afternoon after a delightful few days up north.
I just want to say a big ‘thank you’ for all the arrangements you made for us – the direct flights, Hertz rental and extremely comfortable and well positioned Asure Holiday Motel, where the host and his wife were very welcoming and made our stay very pleasant. And, although you had no hand in it, the weather was absolutely perfect too.
Thank you again, and I look forward to dealing with you people at World Travellers in the future.”

“Hi to you both, Amazing work by you,  as I don’t think it was thought that the Air Lingus fare was at all refundable.

Many thanks for your efforts over all these arrangements and getting so much of my pre-paid flights back to me.

I will definitely see you again when we can travel again. I hope you can hang on in there.”

“We picked up all the documents for our travel on Friday and we were very impressed with how well it had all been prepared.   We wanted to thank you for all your help and efforts as well as attention to detail.

We look forward to booking future travel with you.”

“We have had an amazing holiday—so many wonderful memories.

Highlight was the ship!! I can recommend the Viking ocean ships to anyone of a “mature”age.  Absolutely faultless with interesting lectures, great port talks and excursions. There were free trips at every port but if you wanted more there were extensive options.

All in all it is one of the best trips we have done and we will be watching what Viking has to offer for future cruises—definitely the way to travel!!

Thank you for all the work you put into everything.”

“We had a great time – you did very well,  thank you.  I have a few comments – Emirates – all very good, great food.

Mecure Hotel at Heathrow – very good for what we needed.  Eurostar – great – we both enjoyed the train trips.

Desgin Sorbonne – delightfully French/Paris.  The larger room was beautiful but typically small Parisian.  Great location.  We loved Paris.

French rail to The Hague – great being on the train.  The Hague Marriott – awesome hotel and brilliant.

Lufthansa – very good, no problems

Overall I was very impressed with your choices for us.

Thanks again.”

“We had a great trip thank you… Our hotel in New York BELVEDERE was perfect . Easy walk to everything we wanted; theatres, Times Square, shops etc. We’d recommend the hop-on / hop-off bus, harbour boat tour and Century 21 shopping for designer ‘everything’ at crazy low prices. Times Square Diner & Grill (807 8th Ave) had the best food and service, was open 24/7 and popular! We ate there every day, sometimes twice!

Times Square – at any hour – was amazing. Kinky Boots on broadway – OMG, the men in those dresses and heels! Easy to get good Broadway tickets at cheap prices on the day in Times Square at “tkts” under the big stairs. Most shows available. They would rather sell the tickets cheaper than have empty seats. 

 If you want to do the Empire State Building do it first thing in the morning as it’s the quietest time and even then it’s busy. Pre-purchase tickets for the 911 museum as the one the hop-on / hop-off bus offered is not the main museum and the queues there are horrendous. We did a harbour cruise and saw the Statute of Liberty and Ellis Island by water rather than queue to see them from land, it was a nice way to see the city, and the bridges, from a distance.

Central Park was lovely as well. Great place to stroll and get away from the concrete and buildings. 

The hotel in Houston SHERATON SUITES HOUSTON GALLERIA was perfect also for the shopping. Loved the area with the mall, so handy. Galleria. OMG!!! Want to go back as we didn’t see everything there. Just too big and not enough suitcases. Sheraton had great courtesy bus that took us to the shops and back. 

Plenty of time and directions as far as flights and connections go. All transfers were on time and easy to find. Tours were great. Enjoyed NASA. Houston was a-buzz even after the hurricane they had earlier…. the city was looking quite good considering. They have been busy cleaning up!

 Quebec City was beautiful! And the scenery on the cruise was fantastic”

“Thanks for all that you arranged  for us, we had an amazing holiday. Two places stand out in Italy. Top would be Venice for us followed by Amalfi. The accommodation at both places was really great also, as was all the accommodation you arranged. My wow moment was while taking a shower in our hotel room in Venice and being “serenaded” by the gondola person on the boat below in the waterways, I’ll never forget this. The Greek Island cruise we did was everything we wanted and more. Don’t think we will ever do a cruise to better this in the future.

So happy to be home again as two months was a long time.

Cheers”

“We had a fabulous cruise and stay in Honolulu – much of this thanks to your excellent organisation and arrangements! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

The Hilton Garden Inn was great, as was the Banyon Waikiki! The latter was so spacious and so very well equipped with everything we needed. Would happily go there again!

We were very busy and did heaps in Honolulu (Snorkelling, Climbing Diamond Head, Doing a trip around the whole of the island, swimming, shopping!!!, great food, etc.)

Our best meal was had at Uncle Bo’s! Looked like nothing from the outside, but inside it was lovely, the food was excellent and very well priced!

We enjoyed the fireworks at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on the Friday night, but the New Year’s fireworks from Waikiki Beach was just fantastic!

All in all an awesome trip!”
