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!

I am so thrilled with our decision to book with Laura and Down Under Endeavors. The amount of time Laura saved us is seriously incredible. I will be the first to admit that I am pretty picky about planning. I am totally the planner of the family-- all of our vacations, holidays, even our grocery lists are meticulously detailed. But when it came time to planning our 12-day honeymoon in New Zealand, I was totally overwhelmed by the options, especially since I was already in the midst of wedding planning. I talked to Laura and she gave us some awesome ideas on things we can do that we hadn't even thought of or heard about, even after days of research on our own. She knew all the best places to stay and she organized all of the details and logistics with almost zero effort required on our part. I think one of the things I loved most though, is that when I would ask for her suggestions, I knew I was getting a totally honest response. I really trust that she wouldn't recommend something she didn't have firsthand knowledge of being worth the cost. The value of Down Under Endeavors cannot be overstated. From reviewing our itinerary, I know we got a great deal on what was booked, and the amount of time that was saved is more than worth the very minimal fees. We also got a great price on travel insurance thanks to them. While we just planned an expensive trip of a lifetime and won't be in the market for another vacation any time soon, I know when it's time for another one, I'll contact Laura again in a heartbeat!

This was our second trip to Australia planned by Down Under Endeavours. This time was with our 10 and 14 year old children. Corinne and her friendly team met with us several times to learn our interests and plan our two-week trip. Throughout the planning process, they kept us informed and helped us weigh many options until we locked in our ideal itinerary. Prior to our vacation, we received step-by-step plans for each day of our trip. As we were traveling, they provided us contact information for a local agent in case we had any issues. Our vacation was amazing! We spent about 1 week in Tasmania and had lots of up close encounters with very rare animals. We even got to feed kangaroos in the wild and hug a wombat! Hamilton Island was a beautiful and relaxing vacation spot. Our children still talk about it! Snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef was so much fun. Our last stop in Sydney was awesome as we climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge and toured the Sydney Opera House. Down Under Endeavours planned an amazing family vacation that we will never forget. We plan to work with them again on a trip to Africa one day.

We had an amazing experience with Down Under Endeavours. We had the pleasure of working with Audra. She drafted and booked the honeymoon of our dreams for New Zealand. She found hotels and excursions we would not have been able to research on our own. She planed out all travel and timing - which was a lifesaver! Audra understood what we were looking for on our honeymoon and truly made it happen. I hope we are fortunate enough to work with Audra again! Thank you Down Under Endeavours for a honeymoon we will never forget!

Just overall an excellent experience. It was a trip of a lifetime!!

Katie was great. She was patient as I changed the itinerary and always helpful. She knew the location and attractions. She helped with our flights and transfers and even helped us find great restaurants. I loved how well she matched our trip to our particular tastes. Best trip ever!
