Mark on the Blue Mtn trip was awesome. Learned abut the forest and the mountains and the birds. Very knowledgeable.

“Georgous” on bridge climb in Sydney was great!

What can I say? Having Vicky help us plan this trip was one of the best decisions we made!
Not only did she save us hours (honestly, weeks) of research, but she also handled all the logistics, organized our schedule beautifully, and gave us access to her deep knowledge of the best experiences, places to stay, and ways to get around. Our itinerary was always up to date, easy to access online, and packed with thoughtful touches that made the trip smooth and stress-free.
It ended up being the trip of a lifetime—and I truly believe that was because of Vicky’s recommendations, planning, and support. She didn’t just help before we left; she was also there for us during the trip, quickly helping us adjust our plans when we needed to make changes and answering questions along the way. That kind of support made all the difference. I cannot recommend Vicky enough!

And a quick shoutout to KimKim: I’d never heard of it before, but I’m now a huge fan. The platform is so easy to use—it kept everything organized, made it simple to share feedback, and let us keep all our trip details in one place.

For those who’ve never used KimKim or worked with Vicky, here’s how our planning process went:
* We started with a live call where we shared our vision for the trip—dates, locations, ages of travelers, and the overall vibe we were hoping for.
* Vicky came back with a detailed itinerary (no small feat since ours was 21 days across 5 locations!), including activities and options for each stop.
* We reviewed her suggestions online of the activities, left comments and questions, and fine-tuned until it was exactly what we wanted.
* She found incredible accommodations that fit our group of 7so that we could stay in a room with a kitchen, etc.
* She managed all the tricky logistics: multiple flights, ferries, shuttles and connections we wouldn’t have figured out so easily on our own.
* About a week before departure, we had a final walk-through of the itinerary, which gave us a clear picture of what was ahead and got us even more excited.

Overall, Vicky made a potentially overwhelming trip not only possible but joyful to plan. I know I could never have organized it at this level on my own, and her help meant I could focus on the fun and excitement instead of the stress. If you’re thinking about planning a trip in Australia, do yourself a favor—work with Vicky. You’ll thank yourself later.

Cleanliness & Comfort

So much space, great views, loved the Terrace! Some of the rooms are a little dated (broken tiles in bathroom, knicks in the walls) but the layout, space and views definitely made up for it! Oh, it had a really small table so we were not able to eat in the room (just in case that is a must for someone else)

Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments

Port Douglas

This location has very high highs (interior and layout of the space and level of quality) but some low points that are unfortunate. No on site dining, limited staff support, a bit far to walk to everything and no elevator (which is only troubling when you have a lot of luggage). If we stayed here again we would rent a car.

Authenticity & Character

Location

No dining in this location and closest place for coffee was a 7 min walk. 15-20 min walk to everything else and no free shuttle. I don't know if there is a closer place but a meal option would have been nice. For others you may want to rent a car.

Staff

Upon arrival, person at the desk shared that there was a shuttle but never shared there was a charge. We were not prepared to pay 8/pp each way! She also was not very helpful with questions and only available limited hours during the day.

Cleanliness & Comfort

The room was beautiful and very well laid out with lots of space. The nicest interior of the whole trip! The only reason for the lower score is that they do not have elevators so we had to carry a lot of luggage up three flights of stairs.

Port Stephens Whale Watching & 4WD Combo

Sydney

Whale Watching was very well done and the Sandboarding add on was great! We had trouble with the van quality and timing, which brought the rating down.

Quality of Experience

The Whale Watching was 5/5 but the overall drive, etc. was a 3/5. My kids said the sandboarding was one of their fav activities, but we only ended up getting 20 mins because of logistics.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Jen was friendly but struggled. She couldn't find the Sandboarding location (it wasn't easily marked to her credit) but we went back to the same place three times before she asked for help, which made us late and we only got 20 mins of sandboarding. The Sandboarding was awesome but this very long drive with very stressful timing (almost missed the whale watching) made this day difficult.

Transport

Van was really tired and many of us got queasy on this drive because of how shaky the vehicle was. We also had lots of speed bumps which didn't help. We were in the car a very long time and it was in poor quality, so that made the overall experience poor.

Springbook & Tamborine Rainforest Tour

Brisbane

Quality of Experience

It was a lot of car driving and peculiar use of time. Like we drove through a neighborhood and stopped to look at kangaroos that were in someone's yard. Probably would not do this exact one again. The time in the village was too short to eat lunch and shop. The Glow Worm tour was cute and the natural bridge was amazing, but for all the driving and the wasted time, made the experience less than ideal.

Large group of people and large van. Smooth ride but the group size and amount of time in certain places wasn't planned well.

Vicky planned an amazing trip for our family of four to Sydney,,Port Douglas and Melbourne. In Sydney, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the opera house, and the day-long private tour of the Blue Mountains. I had insisted on a whale watching tour, but because of the time of the year (late July) there were no whales about.
Port Douglas was memorable, with an amazing snorkeling experience at the Great Barrier Reef, and zip lining over the Daintree forest.
Melbourne was a beautiful city;,we thoroughly enjoyed the Ocean Road and the walking tour of the city.
Before the trip, Vicky was immensely responsive, crafting several excellent itineraries before we chose this one. She checked in just before the trip and was proactive and immensely responsive during the trip. All transfers and vendors were punctual and professional.

The rooms are extremely dated, and there is a wide disparity among them. The first room that was assigned to our children was below street level and had the odor of mold. Our room, which was on the third floor, was serviceable. The management did move the children’s room to one that was better after we complained. The property is adjacent to a trailer park and has seen better days. I will actively avoid this hotel if I visit again.

Vicky arranged an absolutely memorable trip for my family across Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, and I can confidently say it was one of the most seamless and enriching travel experiences we’ve ever had.

From start to finish, everything was immaculately organised — from travel logistics to accommodation and local tours. Vicky’s thoughtful suggestions, attention to our preferences, and expert handling of travel considerations made the entire journey feel effortless. The way she managed the itinerary and costs without compromising on quality or comfort was nothing short of perfection.

We were able to explore all the key highlights — from the natural wonders of Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef to the scenic beauty of Queenstown and the serenity of Vomo Island in Fiji — each with fun, engaging, and informative guides who added so much value to our experience.

Thanks to Vicky, this wasn’t just a holiday; it was a journey we will remember for life. Her personal touch and dedication truly set her apart. Highly recommended!
