“Where do I start? Before finding Maria through a business group, my wife and I would google research for months to find the best deals and safest options. What a waste of time! Maria knew answers before we asked the questions. She would suggest and recommend strategies that we had no idea existed. This takes a relationship that is built on knowledge and trust. Knowledge of my wife and I, not of the travel industry. Maria sat us down and asked all sorts of questions and built up a profile of us as individuals and the sort of places we would like to go. The relationship we have with Maria is like getting my own sister to organise our holiday – 100% trust. I organised a surprise 50th for Karen, my wife, I simply gave Maria the money and said, “give me back the change.” Karen knew nothing about the trip to the Maldives. It all went perfect. Get to know your travel manager – become their friend. You will never have any problems with holidays ever again. P.S. Best advice we learnt from Maria. “If you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel””

“"Maria Pandalai has been my Travel Manager for 10 years. In that time she has planned trips for me to South America, South East Asia, Southern Africa, Northern Africa, the Mediterranean, China, Philippines and Japan. I consider myself a traveller who likes to get off the beaten track and visit some 'unusual' places but these are challenges that Maria readily accepts and she has never failed to produce outstanding itineraries where every transfer, booking, flight and request that I have challenged her with has been met. Every trip has been arranged in a timely manner with every detail considered, prompt responses to my queries and outstanding customer service. Maria provides a one on one service that is second to none and she is also available by mobile phone or email. I have told her that she is the best in the business and she is now planning my next trip to Russia!"”

“"Maria makes booking a holiday a very enjoyable experience and that's before you even leave the country! She is very attentive to detail and takes any possible stresses away from you. It's comforting to know she is also there for any possible challenges during your trip. We love using Maria and would highly recommend her to everyone"”

“"Best gap year of my life! Booked my travels through Maria Pandalai and she helped me every step of the way. Taking care of everything which gave me piece of mind and allowed me to relax, enjoy and make the most of my trip. I didn't have to worry about my insurance, bookings or flights as Maria was always on top of it and kept me up to date. Honestly the best travel agent I have ever had. She is super organized and goes the extra mile for her customers. Even sent me through suggestions of things to do and places to see in the countries I was in. I had the best trip of my life and thanks to Maria I didn't have any dramas."”
