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!!!

On a whim, I decided to book a trip to New Zealand to see a performance by Childish Gambino. I knew I wanted to spend two weeks sightseeing, and that I didn't want to drive. After a few weeks of trying to figure out how I would get around and how to best maximize my time in the country, I realized what I needed was an expert. A friend planning her New Zealand honeymoon recommended Down Under Endeavors, and I can't thank her enough. My travel specialist, Katie, did an amazing job arranging every last detail for me, including recommending where the concert should fall during my journey (the end), mapping out what areas to visit, creating a jam-packed itinerary and making sure I had vegetarian meals during excursions and on my flights. Every tour Katie selected for me was perfect, and she was there to answer every question I had leading up to my vacation. I'm normally a pretty independent traveler, but I cannot imagine trying to plan a trip of this scope on my own. Down Under Endeavours made everything so easy, and I'm extremely grateful. I will definitely use them again, and would recommend them to anybody else planning a vacation.

Audra took time to listen to what we wanted in our dream trip to New Zealand and made it come true. Each stop along the way was perfectly timed for us to enjoy the beauty and everything NZ has to offer. Thank you for making this birthday trip one we will never forget.

Fabulous trip. We traveled soooo far, and we didn’t want to miss anything. Believe me, we not only saw all the “must sees”, but the type of tours we went on were the best available, .... tours that we NEVER would have found on our own. Yes, we didn’t just visit, we truly experienced Australia and New Zealand!
