I am a home based boutique agency owner so am very flexible with working hours and can come to you. My website is www.tailoredescapes.net.au
I specialise in luxury, land journeys, small expedition ships, river cruising, ocean crusing and adventure. I have travelled extensively in Australia, New Zealand, The Americas, Europe , Asia & Africa and most of the Pacific region . I also specialise in African safaris from luxury to family options and have extensively travelled through Botswana and South Africa. I have arranged many Eastern and Northern African adventures for my clients including visas, permits and vaccinations and have many trusted contacts on the ground to ensure smooth sailing. I am a Scenic specialist and have a particular love of French River Cruising, from the South of France to the beautiful Bordeaux region I would love to get you on board and share my expertise in the region. I have helped many travellers realise the dream that is Antarctica so if you would like to speak to an expert on the best seasons for traversing the Drake Passage and wildlife sightings for the region I would love to help get you there. I also look after many travellers with high end expedition cruises to far flung tropical destinations and can help you navigate the best deal. I will also be starting fully hosted high end touring to exotic locations from, Brisbane from 2025. Please see my website for more information.
I'm a beach person so can advise on the best beaches in the world from local Whitehaven in Qld to Wineglass Bay in Tassie, the warm water perfection of Champagne Beach on Espiritu Santo Vanuatu, the French Polynesian glory that is Bora Bora, black sand specialties on the Big Island of Hawaii or the idyllic balmy shallows of South Ari Atoll In the Maldives. So many beaches so little time!!

Tonya has extensive knowledge of the travel industry. She has helped all of our requests for our around the world trip. Her timely emails and phone calls have been extensive through the entire planning process. Nothing was a problem and always done with extreme professionalism.

Tonya was all over every detail of our 5 week trip to the USA and Canada right from day one. She gave us lots of options, jumped on everything as soon as it was available for booking and her communication was excellent throughout, making the whole process easy and stress free. Tonya really held our hand through the whole process. I am very happy to recommend Tonya’s services as professional, knowledgeable, supportive and thorough. A+

Tonya recently helped my partner and I plan our dream vacation to tropical New Caledonia and Vanuatu. With her vast travel knowledge and expertise, she was able to personalise the trip to our specific interests in culture, food and adventure - and even help my partner (now fiancé) plan the perfect proposal! Not only did she help us plan our trip, but maintained contact throughout to ensure everything went smoothly. She also found us some cheeky travel deals to ensure we stayed within our budget. I cannot recommend her enough to friends and family!

Tonya is easily the best travel agent I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Her knowledge of all things travel was outstanding. I was looking to plan a romantic getaway with my partner and Tonya managed to give us everything we dreamed of and then some. Not only was it a trip of a life time but we also managed to save a lot of money with the deals only a travel agent of Tonyas quality could find. When looking to plan your next holiday I would highly recommend Tonya as she is a superstar. My partner and I will definitely be using her services for future holiday plans.

We had to change the dates of our entire booking, and Tonya was able to make all the changes with a minimum of fuss. Communication was transparent and constant! Thanks for such great care Tonya!

Tonya is an amazing travel agent who organised our Hawaii 2023 family holiday. She helped with suggestions on islands to visit, best accomodation and activities and she also planned daily itinerary's for us so that we could see and do as much as possible. Tonya's experience with Hawaii was evident as everything she suggested and planned for us was amazing. Nothing was too difficult for Tonya to organise. She was very responsive to emails and made requested changes seem effortless. Tonya went above and beyond for us and I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to take the stress out of planning a big activity filled family holiday! We will be using Tonya again! We appreciate you Tonya and we can't wait for you to plan our next big adventure!

Tonya did so much work in helping us to arrange our holiday last year (2023) and I really should have posted a review much sooner.She was working with three families who all had their own ideas and destinations but managed to mould everything into a comprehensive program that suited everyone. Scotland, France, England, Croatia and Hawaii and she made it look easy!The accommodation she arranged could not have suited us better and the tours and boat cruise were perfect. She also dealt with a plane connection that did not eventuate (airline malfunction of some sort) and was always available, even though there is such a time difference between Europe and Australia.This was the first time we had used a travel agent for many years, and because of her pleasant manner and expertise we will be using Tonya from now on. She is a Superstar!
