We believe travel isn't a commodity, it's an experience, and each and every one of us defines luxury differently. Luxury is not just price-driven, luxury can be experiential travel, connecting us with the destination and its people & culture, it can be active and adventure travel, multi-generational travel, and life-defining experiences.
At Travel with The Luxury Concierge, we want you to discover a whole new way to travel - we deliver bespoke itineraries, full of unique experiences, tailored to your wants and needs.

We are experts in our field, passionate about what we do every day and dedicated to making your travel experience absolutely fantastic. Because we really do care for you, our clients and promise you'll never want to wait on hold, or queue up to speak to an overworked, stressed out, desk-bound travel agent ever again!

From the moment you contact us, all the way through your journey, you can be sure that you'll have a real person at the other end of email or phone - Carine and Linda - anytime you need us, no matter what stage of your trip planning you are at, or wherever you may be in the world, we are not far away.

Carine has been wonderful to deal with, a seemless experience when booking for my family on our adventures through Mexico. Carine was always prompt to respond, no question too silly and no issue to much trouble for her to handle. The process of selecting flights and hotels was simplified, and all of our annoying requests for a toddler - cots, car seats, family friendly locations etc were never too much trouble to accommodate. When we had issues during our travels Carine was quick to address on my behalf, taking the stress out of what could have been a hassle for us in the midst of long haul flights and travelling with a toddler. So, if you're chasing the travel agent who seemingly works around the clock and never sleeps, Carine is it!

Carine made organising our holiday very easy & straightforward. With two young children it was a lot easier to have someone organise quotes & book everything for us. Carine was very quick to respond throughout the booking process and even on a Friday night when we were overseas.

I had booked a Pilbara tour with Crooked Compass but due to Covid this was cancelled. Corine then put together a self-driven tour that encapsulated all the main points from the tour. This included a helicopter ride, snorkeling and walking in Ningaloo Park and hiring cars to drive myself around Karratha and Exmouth.Corine answered all my questions, even some inane ones, and was helpful and flexible. She managed to keep all the great aspects of the tour intact while giving me ideas for other things I could do.All in all, a brilliant trip. Thanks Corine.

A friend of mine recommended Linda and Carine to help book our September holiday.. The original plan was to head to Europe but after realising that was not the best option for our time frame Linda suggested Vietnam. Vietnam had not been on my radar to visit but I said heck why not.. lets have an adventure!I let Linda know what we would be interested in seeing and doing and let her work her magic.. Linda came back with an itinerary filled with interesting things to do and see whilst we were in Vietnam for 15 days.The hotels she suggested were very modern and comfortable and the transfers between destinations were great. The activities we booked were fantastic with english speaking guides. We really did have a Vietnam adventure. It was fab to have access to the MTA app to keep an eye on our itinerary and have Wide Eyed travel details as our liaison if needed in Vietnam.I highly recommend Linda and Carine for your travel needs, they make booking a holiday very easy and stress free. Thx.

I have contacted Carine and Linda every time I have travelled overseas to make my ideas a reality. They are quick to respond, provide multiple options for accommodation, tours, flights etc. for all budgets. Their MTA app is fantastic and keeps everything in order and provides a direct communication if anything should happen and you need their assistance. Always friendly, always responds to any questions anytime of the day. I can not recommend them high enough. I will continue to use their services for my future adventures.

I was recommended Carine from MTA travel by a friend in the tourism industry and it has been one of the best introductions that I have ever had. Professional and knowledgable advice regardless of where my family has travelled to and it has made the planning and preperation for our travel so much easier. No request is ever too hard and I enjoy dealing with genuinelly capable people!

I always booked and researched everything myself, but since meeting Carine she has been amazing and I haven’t looked back! We have organised a few big overseas family holidays with Carine and she has always given lots of great options and advice, lined everything up perfectly and is always so contactable. Can’t recommend highly enough! Thank you!!!

I have booked a number of holidays through Carine and Linda at Travel With the Luxury Concierge, in fact three just this year, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. No complaints at all from me and I look forward to future bookings with them. Kindest regardsJulie Stephen

We spent one month in the UK and Europe, organised and supported by Carine. We had a wonderful time and it was made all the more enjoyable thanks to Carine's organisation. The MTA app with all our travel documents and itinerary was the best. Everything was just a click away. The communication we had from Carine from the beginning to the end was excellent. MTA is a very professional outfit and we would definitely recommend them to prospective travellers. We would also use their service again. Rebecca and Bern, Perth WA.

We have used Carine & Linda a few times now and they are incredible. So responsive and nothing is too much trouble. And even a lovely message when we arrived home to see how the trip was. We will continue to use these ladies without question. Sure it’s easy enough to arrange things yourself but the difference here is that they have amazing deals that I can’t find beaten elsewhere and often it really is quicker to get someone in-the-know to help you organize your trips. Thanks again ladies for impeccable and efficient service.

Carine Boost has been our absolute saviour with international travel. Whether it's jetting back to the US quite suddenly for a death in the family or a luxury jaunt across the North America and Europe to celebrate a big decade birthday, or even a luxe Maldives honeymoon that had to navigate the various restrictions, tests and travel declarations in a COVID world. Carine has incredible knowledge of destinations and provided superb recommendations for the perfect places to stay in Rome, Paris and on the Amalfi Coast. She has been so incredibly understanding with last minute flight changes and done everything to make sure our flights, changeovers, airport and seating preferences are all taken into account. We never need worry and our bags are checked all the way through!COVID has created even more challenges with travel as we all know. Carine was right up to date with the changes in requirements and clear instructions for what we needed to do at every step of the journey.

Carine,Thank you. The weekend was stunning! The room fantastic. Received an upgrade - very cool. Late checkout unreal. We totally enjoyed the spa pampering.

We have just returned from an amazing 6 weeks of travelling we could not have done this without the wonderful expertise of Carine Boost. She organised everything for us and we can only say it was amazing every hotel Carine booked was fabulous. The drivers organised and trains we could not have done without her help. Even sending a email while away was answered promptly even with time differences. Thank you so much we really appreciated everything you did for us. We definitely would not travel again without your help.

Would highly recommend Linda and Carine to organise this 3 night getaway at this great hotel. They went above and beyond our expectations.. our surprise cake and bubbles was an unexpected bonus. We will be passing on your business name for sure. Cheers Denise and Dave

I usually book our own trips, but the prospect of planning and booking a 5 week trip to Europe was to overwhelming for me! I was trying to find a travel agent early this year to help plan our August trip to Croatia and Italy and was recommended Carine. From first contact I had fabulous service and very fast responses. Carine made some great suggestions and recommendations and took all the stress away from planning a 5 week trip. I would highly recommend to anyone considering, and know I will definitely be going back to Carine for our next trip!

We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary recently with the help of Linda to organise an amazing staycation at the Ritz-Carlton in Perth (for 3 nights). Linda was extremely helpful giving us options at various Perth hotels before we settled on the Ritz-Carlton - we were not disappointed! The bonus of booking with Linda was she was able to offer us "virtuoso inclusions" such as room upgrade at time of check-in, daily breakfast for 2, $140 AUD credit to spend on dining/beverages/spa services/valet parking, early check in and late check out subject to availability. The most wonderful surprise was arriving back to our room after being out for lunch on our anniversary and finding a bottle of champagne on ice, a framed photo of myself & my husband along with a note from both Linda and the Ritz-Carlton wishing us a happy anniversary and to enjoy a celebration drink on them! The perfect touch to a magical stay, thanks again Linda for all your help organising our special anniversary.

Carine oversaw our trip and thank goodness she did! From booking flights to car rental, to accommodation and suggestion attractions we would love, Carine was definitely a great choice for our family. Her professionalism, understanding on what a family would require and her communication were outstanding. We gave Carine a list of places we were interested in seeing and she made it work around us and our wants/needs. We bit off the huge state of California as our first overseas family adventure and boy was it an adventure. We saw pretty much everything on our list in the timeframe she set out and then some. Based on her itinerary we were able to prebook and pay for most of our holiday's events/attractions and this saved us a ton of money, time and headache when overseas. We will definitely use Carine and Linda's expertise in the future when we book our next holiday. Thank you again Carine on making this a holiday to remember for all the right reasons!

We cannot recommend Carine highly enough. She is a wealth of knowledge and her level of service is expectional. Over the last 10 years Carine as organised our travels, ranging from mid to high end, in Europe and Southeast Asia. She worked around the clock during covid and assisted us in getting our daughter back to Australia before borders closed. We have, and continue to, recommend her services to everyone we know, and they are not disappointed.

I can not speak more highly of the efficiency and expertise of this amazing team (Carine & Linda). I have been a client for over 20 years and whether it is a long weekender interstate or an extended overseas adventure I would never dream of wasting time and money making arrangements myself.My husband just spent 2 months (June & July 2024) in Sicily & Sardegna and every flight, rental car, accommodation was arranged without a hitch! If we had an urgent question requiring an answer (any time of the day) an email to Carine was responded to without delay.Experience in the travel industry pays dividends when you want the trip of a lifetime.Thanks again ladies - you helped our holiday dream come true.

In 2022 we wanted to go to WA and particularly Broome for my 50th birthday. A local (NSW) travel agent gave me Carine and Linda's details. Having never been to WA before we only had a vague idea of what we wanted to see and do so Carine asked me to list the kind of things we wanted to experience and within a day she got back to me with a fabulous itinerary and introducing us to a few other ideas for places to stay and things to do. Along with my husband and two teenage daughters we had a holiday of a lifetime. We loved WA so much we decided to return in 2023, this time a road trip from Perth to Ningaloo Reef. Again Carine put together the most fabulous trip for us, organising everything from accommodation to tours and excursions. Carine is amazing, she replies to emails promptly, organises things quickly, sorts out any issues and keeps us informed at all times. I would highly recommend Carine and we will definitely be using her services again

Linda and Carine took the time to truly understand my travel preferences, interests, and budget. Their attention to detail was remarkable, as they curated an itinerary that was tailored perfectly to our needs. Their commitment to making the entire process seamless and stress-free was great. From booking flights and accommodations to arranging transfers and tours, everything was organized. We were able to embark on our journey with complete peace of mind, knowing that every aspect of my trip had been taken care of.Communication was exceptional throughout the entire planning process. Carine and Linda promptly responded to my inquiries and provided updates. Their professionalism, combined with a warm and friendly demeanour, created an incredibly positive experience.

I found this company online & can honestly say, without a doubt the best travel agent/consultants I have used over a 30 year period of travel (extensive).Carine is not only knowledgeable, professional & a total delight, nothing is too hard. Working with constant border changes, & also our own need to make changes to our existing travel plans, (which normally sends a agent into a spiral) is handled with total ease. I cannot recommend Carine high enough . I certainly plan on using Carine for all of our travel plans ( when you find someone as great as this, you dont want to lose her)
