What a trip
Super people to work with who put together a great trip that we will always remember. They know the best places to stay and the best things to do and the 28 day trip they put together for us included all of them. Due to weather problems our flight was a day late getting to Australia and we had a trip to look for Koloa bears that we were going to miss and Swain made arrangements for our driver to pick us up from the airport and drive us out of the city to catch up with out tour. Normal tour operations don't do this.

We are always so proud of our knowledgeable team of consultants who put their passion into every itinerary they design. It is great to hear that we were able to adjust your itinerary after your flight was delayed so you could see those adorable koala bears as that is something not to be missed! We hope we will have the opportunity to assist you with your travels again in the future. Kind regards. Barbara Rake Customer Relations Manager

Try Swain for your next Australian Adventure
Swain was prompt and provided great service. I typically use online solutions to keep track of all of my travel records and didn't think that I would use the "paper" binder that they provided. The paper binder was fabulous. It had everything I needed day by day and also listed info by subcategory. It turned out to be a great resource!

Dear James, Thanks very much for your great feedback and we're so glad to hear that you found the leather travel document wallet to be so useful. It is handy to have everything you need in one spot and many travelers also find the wallet to be a nice memento from their travels. We hope to have another opportunity to be a part of your future travels adventures. Kind regards, Barbara Rake Customer Relations Manager

Everything went well on the trip
Everything went well on the trip. Loved Salamanca Inn and Strahan Village especially. Only criticism I have is that Swain pushes towards high-end options; in some cases they provide only high-end options. I was able to suggest and renegotiate these, and in one case, find an alternative option that Swain was unable to provide. For non-travel savvy or less tech-savvy people, this would be a real problem.

Dear Julie, Thank for sharing your valuable feedback on your recent planning and travel experience with Swain Destinations to Tasmania. Tasmania is such a charming and beautiful destination and it's wonderful to hear you enjoyed your time here. We do apologize that we were unable to accommodate the standard of touring options which you had preferred. We are typically able to offer services in several price ranges and styles so this is something we will be sure to look into. Thank you again for taking the time to provide your comments as we are always very interested in designing the best custom travel experience to suit our individual clients. Kind regards, Barbara Rake Customer Relations Manager

Completely satisfied
We had planned to do our trip on our own and kinda stumbled into Swain when we saw a tour that matched our time in New Zealand. We didn't need much customization but we loved the way we and Swain worked together. We knew they would pick the type of hotels we wanted and schedule the day tours that would not disappoint. We felt "on our own" in a good way, but there was always someone to transport us to/from the airports and train stations. In other words, they took the anxiety out of trip and prevented disappointments. We thought it was a great way to travel and have nothing but praise for Swain and those we encountered on our journeys.

I hope we have another opportunity to assist you in the near future! Kind regards, Barbara Rake Customer Relations Manager
