About Sonia Gebrael

For over 20 years, I have been creating travel dreams. My passion for travel and commitment to old fashioned one-on-one service is what makes me a natural choice for your next holiday. I am known to go over and beyond with my customer service and offer a 24-hour emergency contact number to give my clients that peace of mind whilst on their trips.

I am proud of my Lebanese heritage and as I have travelled several times to Lebanon, I am passionate in showcasing the beauty of this country and making it accessible and do-able, for new travellers in particular. I have formed many industry partnerships in Lebanon and have earned my reputation as a trusted and enthusiastic ambassador.

Writing courses through my veins, and I am fortunate to have published two fiction novels, with a third in the pipeline. Being a lover of words and poetry, I dream of sweeping travel plains where I could lose myself in ink and paper.

Recently had a trip to the USA that Sonia organized for us. What I have to say, They did a Profession and amazing job preparing and booking this trip, even when we changed things daily. They listen and always gave good solid advice. our trip was not long and a lot of stop overs. I will use them again to book my next trip at a drop of a hat. Yes will be booking a trip next year to England and back to USA or just England waiting for the boss to decide.Sonia thank you from my wife and I heart.Peter

Whilst in England last year I put my back out badly. I couldn’t sit, sleep, get dressed & more for days & was by myself & due to fly back to Australia in a week. I sent a message to Sonia (who had booked my flights) telling her what had happened & told her that I wouldn’t be able to fly back as scheduled. Over the following few days Sonia was incredibly helpful, gave me invaluable  advice & was at the other end of the phone when I needed to speak with her whilst trying to sort out insurance details & future flights (including in the middle of the night in Australia). She was also very quick to help with documents the insurance company needed when I was back in Australia. She is very experienced, kind, considerate & efficient & I highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Sonia!

Thank you Jackie for the review. After such a difficult and painful time you had, it was so wonderful to get you home on comfortable seats and then be reimbursed as well. You were always so grateful which was lovely. Thank you for the kind words, Sonia x

Sonia from Traveltime has been an absolute treasure for our group of friends over the past 15 years. We’ve had many trips to Europe, Asia & America where we’ve had up to 22 in our group all coming & going for different sections of our extensive trips. Not once has there been a problem or glitch in our plans. Would never go to any other travel agent! Thoroughly recommend Sonia & her team at Travel Time. Trish Renton. Point Clare.

Sonia and the team at travel time have been assisting us with our travel arrangements for over a decade now. We travel frequently (ex-COVID) and to some unusual destinations. I would also say we are "high maintenance" clients (i.e. super picky - e.g. I want a tour guide that picks me up at 3:00am so I can catch a shot of the sunrise at the top of the mountain). However that challenge has never daunted Sonia and her team, and they have never failed us. I'm yet to leave for my trip in Sept 2023 and I'm already mentally drafting my next trip schedule for Sonia because I have that much faith it will go as planned.


Reply From Sonia Gebrael

Thank you Helen and Matt for the review. You guys are an absolute dream to deal with and I have loved supporting your travel arrangements. I have learned a lot as well! Definitely very easy and not as picky as you think :) :) I really hope you have a wonderful trip and we so look forward to the pictures. Take care, Sonia xx

I have been booking my family international trips with Sonia and the Travel Time team for many years and wouldn't book with anyone else! The effort and care she puts into planning your itinerary is second to none. She thinks of everything from meal packages, transfers (land and sea), travel insurance, accommodation and flights, all the while considering what your budget is, and sticking to it!  From the very first trip I booked with Sonia, I was so impressed that her price was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than any other quotes I'd had - I have recommended countless friends and family members use Sonia and her team, and they have all been as happy as I am with her outstanding service.  Sonia & her team are professional, friendly and always go the extra mile to ensure you get the trip of your dreams.  I simply would not book a trip unless I booked with Sonia, I trust her and her wealth of experience completely!

Sonia has always been very professional in our dealings. We had a major trip booked overseas which got cancelled due to covid. Sonia managed to get most of our outlay back without any effort on our behave. I have booked a few trips with her since and despite all the changing conditions her service has been but first rate. Her attention to detail and quick responses have been excellent. Having used other travel agents I simply would say I have found a gem.

As a client of over 16 yrs I cannot speak highly enough of Sonia and her staff. A simple local holiday or a complex itinerary for a large group of friends, their attention to detail and one-on-one service are remarkable. Nothing is ever a problem and all queries and requests are dealt with immediately. I am delighted to recommend Sonia to any one. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you so much Sonia for organising my trip to Fiji.  Having not traveled overseas for many years you made the whole process so easy and stress free.  Everything ran so smoothly and you did an amazing job.  I cannot speak highly enough of you and your company.  The only travel agent I will be using for any future trips. Five stars all the way.

I can highly recommend Sonia Gebrael after she booked a family holiday for us to Hamilton Island to celebrate a milestone birthday. From our initial enquiry to booking and navigating the uncertainty of Covid, Sonia was always professional and efficient, keeping us informed. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she provided multiple accommodation options and price points for us when we were choosing where to stay. When our flights were changed she always kept us in the loop. The whole process was stress free and I would definitely recommend her and use her to book future holidays for us.

I have used Travel Time for many years to organise overseas travel, cruises and local flights. Everything has been very well organised, all flights, hotels and tours going smoothly. One of our holidays to Italy and Greece involved flights, train trips and organised tours, bus and cruising in the Greek Islands. We went with a group of friends and everything went smoothly. I am happy to recommend Sonia.
