Vicki, I wanted to thank you once again for the wonderful job you do by organising our holidays. It was such a pleasure working with you on our itinerary. Your experience is invaluable and advice is spot on. Everything went like clockwork, from the time we left home, our flights, excellent hotels, interesting tours and of course, that beautiful ship. Your hard work and ability to anticipate any problems, take all the stress out of travelling so we can enjoy all the fun.

Our family of 6 went on a very special family holiday - it was the first time my boys had travelled overseas so it was important we got it right. Liza  provided the advice, the service and the attention to detail we required. Our cruise to the Pacific Islands was a holiday we'll always remember. Celebrating a few special events on this trip Liza made sure that the cruise staff made the occasions super special and memorable. Her service and care in making sure our holiday was the best it could be was second to none.

Kerrie Kaesler

My MTA travel expert is Kerrie Kaesler

Kerrie is the best travel agent we have ever had. Her attention to detail, preparation of your itinerary with many other great suggestions, and her access to many resources is above all others. We recently used Kerrie to help us book and plan our itinerary to Italy, (a driving tour of 8 weeks) With her assistance we had an excellent time and when anything went wrong, as it can, she moved hell and high water to fix it. That's what you want! Highly Recommended!!! * 5 STAR
