I first visited Egypt in 1989, and was hooked! I escorted my first small, private group there in 1991, and have continued to escort my own small groups there since then. I have honed my itineraries over the years to better accommodate my clients' needs and requests whilst providing the most encompassing and immersive tours for my groups. I moved to Cairo in 2002 and lived there for 2 years, returning home to pick up my groups and travel back to Egypt with them every few months. In 2004 I added Jordan to my itineraries, showcasing Wadi Rum, Petra, the Dead Sea, and other Jordanian highlights as an add-on to my Egyptian tours.
I have hosted wedding groups, honeymoon groups, 50th birthdays, ladies groups, family groups, groups of friends, and groups of strangers and I guarantee they have all had experiences they wouldn't have had if they hadn't travelled with me to Egypt and Jordan! I have had clients return 2 and 3 times with me and each time, they say they'll come with me again.
I have also escorted my private groups to Africa, South America, and Sri Lanka and have extensive knowledge of France, having been married to a Frenchman for 15 years.
I'm the proud mother of a young daughter who is well-traveled and helps me to learn what suits families and kids best - for example, releasing a baby sea turtle into the ocean in Bali, snorkeling in the Isle of Pines on a Pacific Island cruise, swimming with whale sharks in the Philippines and investigating the interactive exhibitions at Venice Biennale. I love seeing the world through her eyes and it helps me build better itineraries for families who entrust me with their dream holiday bookings.
I'm a qualified Master cruise consultant and have a love of matching my clients to the perfect cruise for them. Whether you want to sail around the Pacific Island or Asia or further afield, in Europe, Canada and Alaska, South America, Antarctica or Africa, there's a cruise to suit all styles and budgets.
Let me build your unique itineraries for you so that you get the best possible holiday experiences for you and your family and friends.

I have travelled with Cath, in a group and individually, on several occasions. The most notable are Egypt and Morocco. Cath's expertise as a guide and host was exceptional. She had an attention to detail, organising every room, meal, tour, comfort, at a high level, always ready to address and fix problems. I enjoyed her company and many times asked for advice and assistance on other holiday ideas. Once I told Cath I was planning a driving trip in the NT and she sent me a list of recommended activities in Darwin. She is generous, kind and heaps of fun.

It was wonderful to deal with Cath and leave my husband’s 60th birthday plans in her capable hands. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge with Europe and could give great tips about small cafés and wonderful local restaurants to eat at away from the major tourist spots where the ‘locals’ go.This information was invaluable and has provided many years of wonderful memories for us. Thanks heaps Cath, looking for to our next holiday booked by you.

Cath provided an excellent service for the booking and reservations required for the tour to Egypt and Jordan. It was reassuring to have an experienced Australian guide interacting on our behalf.

Holidays arranged by Cath Graham, Travel Managers, are fantastic. Never a dull moment, there is enough time spent at each destination that you can get the feel/ambience. Travelling with Cath is definitely fun, SO many memories, lots of fun/laughter. If you have a bucket list trip, get in touch with Cath as she will make it the best holiday you will ever have.

I have most recently used Cath for a family cruise holiday for myself and 2 children, 10 and 11 years. The cruise Cath put us on was fantastic and the cabin choice was absolutely perfect. I had previously used Cath to book an adventure holiday to Egypt, Jordan and Syria and it all went off without a hitch, completely amazing. Her knowledge in this part of the world (well any part really) is second to none. Can highly recommend you choose Cath for your next adventure holiday or family vacation.

This was the holiday of a lifetime. Everything went like clockwork and travelling in a small group meant we could adjust the itinerary as required. Cath was very knowledgeable. We had the unique experience of eating the local food rather than just eating at tourist hotspots. I think the highlight of my trip was ballooning over Luxor. Fabulous.

Cath booked my Egypt trip in 2018 which was amazing. She found the best tour for me, flights & a background into what to do while there as extras. Plus as her knowledge of the area is so extensive & her contacts so close we met her personal local friends who looked after us & gave us a private tour & the most amazing feast ever! You can't be too careful trying to diy overseas, it always pays to use an agent in a foreign country as you never know what can happen. I thoroughly recommend Cath.

Cath was tour leader of a small group I joined to tour Egypt and Jordan for a month in September/October 2023. Her deep knowledge of these countries made the experience a wonderful combination of learning and fun, from start for finish. She aligned her appreciation of local culture, attractions and activities with the interests and preferences of our group so well that even over such a long period, we chose to spend most of our free time together. Do not hesitate, if you are fortunate to have the opportunity to travel with Cath.
