Excellent communication and recommendations!

I highly recommend DUE and especially Ellen Hoffman. She spent the time and attention to detail to personalize our NZ vacation so it really was custome made. It was perfect, hassle free, exceeded all our expectations. I wish she could plan all our vacations. I would not hesitate to receommend and use again myself!!!!

We had an outstanding experience with Down Under Endeavours. We worked with Ellen and Corinne in the States prior to our trip, and Sue was our "on the ground" contact in Australia. The team really took the time to get to know our family and helped us plan an itinerary that was PERFECT. We hit a snafu with the weather when we were in Australia and Sue and Ellen went above and beyond rebooking us so that we could snorkel the Great Barrier Reef. I highly recommend Down Under Endeavours. I never could have planned this vacation on my own.

Fantastic experience all around. Laura Tober with Down Under Endeavors helped us plan an unforgettable trip from start to finish. Down Under Endeavors local country contact welcomed us via email when we arrived in Australia and helped us navigate a minor logistical issue related to rental car reservations which helped avert a bigger problem. All of the excursions Laura recommended were first rate and made this a family trip of a lifetime. We definitely plan to ask Laura to assist with our next family vacation.

We had a wonderful trip to Australia and New Zealand- all orchestrated by Laura Tober and her team at Downunder Endeavors. I’m not an amateur traveling guy. I travel all the time. But this kind of trip- I figured I could use some help- and I’m sure glad I did! First- the trip was amazing. Every tour, every transportation arranged, accommodations- literally every single thing that was arranged by Laura- was executed perfectly. No waiting around- no one not knowing who we were- it was truly executed flawlessly. Second- Downunder Endeavors- Laura Tober was our agent. Laura is a 7 out 5 stars. She was friendly, fun, she listened, she was knowledgeable- she responded to my questions while SHE was on vacation. I can’t say enough good things. If you’re going DownUnder- use these guys!

We worked with Down Under Endeavours, specifically Laura Tober, to plan our honeymoon trip to Australia and New Zealand. Both the overall experience and working with Laura specifically were 5 stars. We began the process by briefly chatting with Laura to describe our interests, budget, and timeline. She came back to us quickly with an itinerary with recommended places to visit and activities based on her personal experiences. After 2 rounds of edits, we finalized everything. She took care of booking flights, hotels, activities, and visas, then packaged everything nicely into a detailed itinerary. Laura was always available to answer our questions and concerns - either by email or phone. We enjoyed all of the hotels and activities recommended by Laura, and appreciated the individualized touches that she included. The only negative with regard to the process (and no fault of Laura's) was that we were unable to see a breakdown of the costs for each activity/hotel/etc, we only received a total cost. So it was sometimes difficult for us to choose between different options without knowing the difference in cost.

Wonderful expertise and attention to detail.

DUE is simply the best! We worked with Laura to create an unforgettable honeymoon. The process was so easy. We had an introduction call about the places we were interested in (Australia, New Zealand, and French Polynesian). Laura made the suggestion to go to Moorea, which we hadn’t consider, but her expertise paid off! It is a stunning island! Like most people, we consider planning it on our own, however, our trip would not have been a fraction of the experience it was if it weren’t for Laura. They provided us with a full detailed itinerary (25 days worth), we discussed a few changes and like magic our honeymoon was set! Easy as blinking for us and Laura and the DUE team booked and planned it all! What we love about DUE is that they themselves have gone to the places and done the excursions that they are recommending. This makes a huge difference to ensure their clients have a once in a life time (though we hope to go again!) experience. They understand the flow and timing of a trip and how to get a mix of adventure, relaxation or whatever you’re seeking. They also have local contacts to ensure if something changes, that the process to adjust your itinerary goes seemlessly; we had a flight cancellation from Hamilton Island to Sydney due to weather. We found out at 9a and by 11a, Laura and the local contact had managed to get us booked on a new flight the next day, we were able to stay in the same hotel room so we didn’t have to bother moving and were back on the beach enjoying the day. Their services are unmatched. People keep asking our favorite part of the trip and it’s nearly impossible to choose because every part of it was spectacular in it’s own right. If allowed, we would give them double the stars! You will not be disappointed with DUE- ask for Laura!!!
