“A short note from me to say thank you for everything that you did for both Monique and myself. Our time together in Singapore was awesome to say the least. Accommodation at the JEN was brilliant and lived up to everything that you said it would be. Knowing that you were always there to assist if there were any issues was most assuring and certainly added to our overall experience. In summary, thank you for everything that you did. First class service indeed. Keep up the great work.”

“The travel management service you offered was way beyond any expectations we had. You not only took the time to visit us, keep us informed every step of the way with flight reminders etc but you also shared inside tips on travelling to Bali we found invaluable.”

Ralph, Aidan & Nina
“Thank you Effie for your wonderful, first class service before, during and on my return, work-trip to Thailand. The hotel and service there was superb - beyond my expectations! Thank you! :)”
Liz
“Effie, thank you so much for organising our trip to Bankok last week. It was seamless and we especially enjoyed our time at the Amari Watergate! That was fabulous. Your attention to detail was wonderful and we really felt looked after by you! Thank you so much - we very much look forward to your assistance again in the future!”
Alison
“Thank you so much Effie for all you help in organizing our wonderful trip to Europe. Your organization skills and personable service was unbeatable. I would highly recommend and would use Effie for all our travel needs. Thanks again Effie. Irene x”
Irene
“Thank you firstly for your expertise and precise organising of all our airline tickets, hotels, transfers, ferry tickets and your contact via email and whats app right throughout our trip. Thank you for your detailed itinerary and many phone calls and emails to Greece to have everything organised to perfection and printing out everything we would need while over in Greece/Cyprus. It made the world of difference especially with a young family as we were at ease the whole time knowing that every details was covered. You made it very easy for us to really relax and enjoy our holiday. I would definitely recommend you to many of our friends and colleagues and l would definitely without hesitation come to you again for our future holidays. Thank you also for all the personal touches. We are so very grateful and we will remember this trip for a very long time.”

“We would like to say thank you very much for organising our holiday to Queensland. We found you to be both friendly and professional, thorough and efficient - your knowledge even scored us some free upgrades that we are very grateful for too!”

“We cannot speak highly enough of our 6 week Europe trip and the efforts and personal service we received from Effie. We asked Effie to assist in planning a family trip of a lifetime as we had an idea of where we wanted to go but what she did was bring to reality. Organising a trip which took in London, Paris, Venice, Florence, Rome, Athens, Naxos, Crete, Nafplio and finally Santorini with a stopover in Singapore on the way home to chill wasn’t going to be easy but Effie pulled off the most incomparable experience. Effie organised and booked all our long-haul flights, accommodation for 5 (which was always going to be difficult in pleasing everyone’s sleeping arrangements), the rail experience between London, Paris and throughout Italy, ferries sailing through the Greek islands and even our tours. It was like having a personal travel guide with you on your entire trip but just invisible. She called ahead to make sure everything was set and no last minute issues for us deal with when we arrived. I’m sure the effort she went too, making sure in calling ahead and dealing with any last minute issues is why we felt like royalty wherever we turned up. Arriving in Santorini to celebrate Effie (my wife’s 50th ) and hearing our kids say “are we at the right place” you knew that this was something special and never going to be forgotten. If you are looking for that special personal touch or someone to plan something you have only been dreaming of then Effie from Travel Managers is the one person who will be able to bring it together. From every one of the Natsis family (Jim, Effie, Alexia, Nikita and Stefan) we thank you very much as it was a trip we will remember and cherish forever.”

“Absolutely flawless service by Effie Stavridis! Organising a family holiday to the US seemed very overwhelming, i didn't know where to begin, there was so much we wanted to do on this holiday and i had no idea where to begin. I didn't have the time to spend endless hours searching and googling information and hotels etc to make this holiday an unforgettable experience for our family. When I met up with Effie i told her all the places we wanted to visit and what we wanted to do as a family. Effie's services have been absolutely flawless! She has gone above and beyond of my expectations. The personal experience i have had with Effie organising this fabulous holiday has been amazing. Adding all her personal touches has been very heart warming. I could not recommend Effie higher. I will never be able to walk into a Flight Centre, Effie's personal touches, organizational skills, patience, knowledge, and attention to detail is head and shoulders above any travel agent! I will continue to recommend Effie and definitely use her for all future travels! Thank you Effie you are an absolute Wonder Woman! Mary”
Mary T.
“Effie Stavridis was an enormous help when it came to sorting out our travel arrangements. Flights and bookings were made easier with her help and we were able to enjoy our journey, stress free! From the very beginning, Effie was on top of everything, (a demanding task when booking for a group of 10), from organising Visa’s, numerous payment’s and dealing with uncertainties and indefinite knowledge that the group had. Despite altering our plans often, Effie took it In her stride and did her best to accommodate our changing needs. Effie went to her means end to find us the best deals and most comfortable arrangements. She made us feel organised, settled and at peace that our travel arrangements were being dealt with. And peaceful travel it was. With the shortest transitions possible, our time spent in airports was limited and efficient, beginning and ending the journey smoothly. We would like to thank Effie for her hard work and care when dealing with our trip to Tanzania. We Couldn’t have done it without her.”
Danni N.
“Effie assisted us with our holiday of a lifetime to the USA. Her professional and caring service meant that she went the extra mile in helping us plan and book, and during our holiday. Effie continued to provide amazing service all throughout and after the holiday. We would recommend Effie to anyone booking travel for a smooth, hassle free and exceptional experience by using a travel agent who cares.”
Kym
“We recently used Effie to plan our family holiday to Port Douglas. She was extremely accommodating, polite, enthusiastic and happy to answer and research our endless questions to ensure it was the perfect holiday. Effie organised everything from flights, accomodation, car hire, travel insurance and organising baby seats. Once the dates were agreed on the rest was easy. We paid the money and Effie supplied us with a pouch which included all documents, contacts and extra information we needed to have a wonderful holiday that was effortless. We would highly recommend Effie’s services.”
Emily and Adam.
“In March 2019 we made a last minute decision to undertake a European River cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest (or vice versa). We asked Effie to explore our options as available cruises were limited. Effie was able to provide three options with Viking Cruises (Budapest to Amsterdam) that would suit our timetable. Effie kept us informed as our options and vacancies were changing and becoming limited. We also wished to spend time in Budapest, Amsterdam, Athens, Greek Islands (Naxos and Santorini) and Singapore. For each location Effie provided three options of accommodation from which we could choose. All of the hotels recommended were of high standard and suitably located. As each booking was confirmed, Effie provided an updated itinerary and costing for our travels. Once everything was locked in, we met with Effie to collect all our travel documents which included customs documents which we could complete prior to re-entry to Australia. Our dealings with Effie were faultless and we would definitely use her services again for future travels. So impressed were we with Effie's knowledge'and quality of service, we have recommended her to friends.”
Neil and Veronica.
“Dear Effie - We have recently returned from our trip to visit family in Canada and want to thank you again for the expert travel assistance and personal care you extended during the planning of our travel. We very much enjoyed our four-day stopover in San Francisco on the way to Canada. Your recommendation of The Handlery Union Square Hotel was spot on – very central to great shopping, eating and public transport. The hotel concierge was very helpful when our daughter had a medical issue that required seeing a doctor. We were also pleased with our one-day stopover on our way back to Melbourne at the Los Angeles Marriott Airport Hotel. The free shuttle from the airport was convenient, the rooms were very comfortable, the staff were accommodating as to a late checkout, the hotel was easily found by Uber drivers, and the Starbucks in the lobby was an added bonus. Five out of five stars! All our flights and connections went smoothly and we appreciated your text messages wishing us well at the start of our adventure and welcoming us home at the end. We look forward to working with you on future travel plans.”

“Dear Effie I just wanted say a big thank you for organising our second trip to Europe. l never thought that it could top the first trip but it certainly exceeded all our expectations. Just having you organise ever step just put our mind at ease and it was smooth sailing. The cruise was amazing thank you for your recommendation on which journey to take, it was such a great experience and we were able to see so much. Thank you also for all those little transfer trips you organised from the airports they were also such a relief. Cathay Pacific was an amazing experience thank you again for recommending the airline. I don’t think l could organise a trip overseas without your help and guidance. When l chat to people about traveling l always tell people l know a great travel manger, just in case they are looking!!! Thank you again for your professionalism and your High standard of care you showed us all. ”

“Thank you so much, Effie, for all of your help in organising, once again, my fabulous trip to Europe this year. As a solo traveller, your insight, expertise and helpfulness were really appreciated. You stayed in touch with me, via email, while I was away, ensuring all of the private tours you had organised went smoothly. You are so well organised, and your friendly service goes well beyond my expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends and now I am looking forward to planning my next adventure with you. Thanks again, Effie. ”
