Australia in November

. We had always wanted to go to Australia and New Zealand. Who wouldn't want to visit there. The scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef was a bucket list experience. Sailing by the Sydney Opera House. Hiking through the rainforest. Seeing the glowworms. Visiting the wineries and enjoying some New Zealand wines. Sitting on the verandas at the B&B's. Relaxing in the hot pools. The overnight trip on Doubtful Sound. So much to enjoy, difficult to name all of the venues. The people were the best. Everyone was so accommodating and hospitble.

We had planned the cruises to Australia and New Zealand on Celebrity 2 years ago. We originally planned for 3 cruises back to back, but the Australia segment didn’t really give us the opportunity to actually see the parts of Australia that we wanted to see. We were so incredibly fortunate to find Liz *********who not only listened to what we wanted to see and do, but gave me valuable first hand information and suggestions that served us well in developing our itinerary. We were able to maximize our time and see/experience Australia and the highlights without feeling rushed or that we missed opportunities.

With a 5 week vacation booked for Australia and New Zealand We started the search for someone to help with the arrangements. We wanted to see the highlights, yet not feel rushed. I discovered Evaneos/**************through internet browsing and reached out. Liz replied promptly and after a few questions regarding our preferences for activities and wishes she designed a trip with great variety. Liz worked closely with us to ensure we were happy with the recommended accommodations and tour activities while striving to keep our tours to a small group size. Emails and questions were answered promptly and we talked on the phone a few times. I felt like I was dealing with a person who was invested in creating a fantastic holiday for my husband and I that we would remember for a lifetime. Liz was personable, enthusiastic and provided high quality service. The accommodations were located at each destination in a central spot within walking distance to restaurants. She was open to arranging and booking as many, or as little activities and/or tours as we wished. The attention to detail was pleasing with all our vouchers for each activity organized by date with phone numbers noted to contact the companies if required. Liz worked during our trip to make sure things went smoothly; at one point rearranging an airport pickup due to a delayed flight and offering to rearrange accommodation if needed due to the bushfires. We had a total of 11 flights in Australia and New Zealand all booked through Evaneos. One portion of our trip was not possible due to weather and the money was refunded promptly when we returned home. Thanks to Liz and her team we had an absolutely amazing trip in Australia and New Zealand. We arrived home with memories to last a lifetime! We would use Liz and her team at Evaneos again.
