I discovered the amazing Sara Birtwhistle through my father, who had been using Sara’s services for years, and he had nothing but the highest recommendations on her ability to provide the perfectly organised holiday. I personally hadn’t used the services of a Travel Agent in a very long time and I have to be honest, was slightly sceptical of his praises. Sara met with us and went through what our plans were, the things we wanted to see and do, and most importantly, our budget. Sara came back with a draft of her ideas, and from there it was a quick and easy tweak to create our perfect holiday. Sara was also able to provide very knowledgeable suggestions on additional side trips that we might be interested in. Our resultant trip to Singapore and Cambodia will now be one of my most favourite holidays ever, despite the rude intrusion of the Global pandemic. I have to mention this because Sara went above and beyond my reasonable expectations on what she might have been able to do for us. Sara got us home safely, without (what seemed to me to be) any fuss and our trip was not sacrificed at all. I cannot wait to see what Sara can do for us once State Lockdowns and Border closure restrictions are gone.

Nothing but praise. Knowledgeable, great holiday plans, exciting destinations.
Ensures clients are 100% happy. I have completed a number of holidays through Sara and cannot wait for the next one.

I know who I will be booking with.

Sara is the best. She has made planning our holidays so easy (especially when I normally only decide to go a few weeks before we fly out). She took the time to find out our interests so she can make suggestions of things to do and see that are special to us, most of which we would have never known about without her knowledge of what the wonderful world has to offer. Thanks to her we have helicoptered into the Grand Canyon, dined with an Astronaut, and had a private guided tour around Hollywood just to name a few. She goes above and beyond to find the best accommodation to suit our needs. It is extremely comforting to know if there was ever an issue her expert help is just a message away.

Sara has organized many holidays for me over the past 10 years. She has thought outside of the box to create interesting adventures and has always been focused on meeting our budget and our love of long journey's. Each holiday has been a great experience and knowing Sara is with us behind the scenes when we travel is great. Especially helping my family deal with an insurer when I had a medical emergency a few years ago. Sara was actually on a work trip - travelling in China - when this happened. She really is always there for her customers and I truly value that she cares so much. I am looking forward to more exciting

Wendy & Sara organised our holidays through the Kimberley Ranges in Western Australia and Canada & Alaska with consummate ease and professionalism. This took the pressure off us meaning that we could relax and let them use their extensive travel knowledge. When they couldn’t answer a question both of them took the time and effort to research the answer quickly and efficiently. They always answered our emails and were ever ready to talk to us on the phone with grace and patience. Nothing was too much for them. We have recommended Wendy and Sara to friends who are thrilled to have found such wonderful travel agents. If you need help organising your holidays Wendy and Sara are your people.

I highly recommend Wendy and Sara as the travel agents of choice. They took the time to get to know me and my interests in Art, Culture, good food and wine as well as travel with a difference. They introduced me to the joy of European river cruising and always found the best options and prices. Their service is timely, thoughtful and tailored. As a frequent traveller I have used many different companies but their outstanding attention to my wishes and the details was above these other experiences. I appreciated their skill in creating interesting and thoroughly enjoyable itineraries with great connections. I have used them for Travel to Italy, Portugal, Eastern Europe and France.
I had the great pleasure of travelling with them last year to the USA and Canada (including a cruise in Alaska). It was a really fun trip shared with like-minded people and I have remained in contact with the group. I am looking forward to further travels with them.

“Wendy has planned many trips for us over several years and we have always been very happy with her recommendations and detailed itineraries”

“Wendy is always available and several times we have had to call her with a holiday dilemma enroute, which she has sorted for us very promptly- such as arriving in Newman in the remote Pilbara, WA, to find our hotel booking wasn’t registered”

“We have spent many memorable holiday adventures planned by Wendy - some to remote places we never imagined we’d get to like the Albrolhos Islands off Geraldton, WA"

We highly recommend Wendy as a travel agent. She organised the most amazing trip for our group. We gave her our bucket list and she turned it into a fun, memory filled holiday that we still laugh about to this day.
She took the time to understand what a perfect holiday meant to us. Nothing was too hard for Wendy to organise and the small details made the difference, this is where her industry experience comes to the fore.
She made sure that there were no complications and that we transitioned to each destination with ease.
More importantly, she organised all this within our budget by creating the most cost-effective itinerary without compromising on quality.

Kimberley Cruising May 2021

It’s hard to describe the rugged beauty of this isolated region but to have the amazing experience of being on an Expedition Cruise was made possible by Wendy at Journey On Travel. My original cruise was cancelled but she had a back -up plan as always! A lot of paperwork for Covid safety had to be organised but Wendy made it so easy, and I was able to board The Coral Adventurer in early May. The ship takes about 80 guests, and the cabins are comfortable and roomy, and the mainly young crew were awesome. Plenty of common deck space to take in the sights and relax.

The only landfall is on small islands and the Mitchell plateau with its famous falls which we reached by helicopter. To visit the islands, you board smaller Explorer boats to reach the shore. We saw everything from 60,000-year-old Rock Paintings to 3-billion-year-old gorges and landscapes. It was stunning! The walking and climbing are moderately challenging but well worth it. The food was of a high standard with Asian fusion dishes that were delicious.

There is a program run by guest lecturers for sharing information and a well -appointed library. We had calm seas and great weather, a little warm but trips were timed for the cooler parts of the day and who can beat a sunset glass of Champagne on a sandy cay in the middle of the ocean. The cruise was well-organised and well-paced and everyone should to take the opportunity to visit this incredible region of WA!
