Negative experience: Booked two tours and one got cancelled. Have been emailing for refunds since last week of June with no one answering or responding. The best part is the Elizabeth street branch closed the day after my trip got cancelled.

Fantastic experience: Booked a three week trip with Nick yesterday! Very very relieved and grateful all the stress of booking and planning was taken completely off my shoulders. I came in with a slightly impossible task and wanting to leave in 5 days with nothing booked (Would NOT advise!!) but having said that Nick worked very hard to make sure everything was ticked off my list and found great places for me to stay for very affordable prices! Lots of great information on each location and advice for suggested itinerary, as well as his thoughts on how long to be in each spot to get the most out of your stay.

Fantastic experience: Massive thank you to Nick for helping us plan our trip up the east coast! So helpful and full of advice. Highly recommend using this company if you’re planning your travels!

Negative experience: Very impolite manager of the branch- unwilling to help me as I’d booked online but was having some problems (that he could have tried to help with very easily!) made it very clear that it wasn’t his problem! I had to ask multiple times to get any kind of help. Would not recommend using this branch for that reason. The other people there were very helpful however!

Fantastic experience: Emma help me plan the best east coast ever! Can’t recommend her enough, took all the stress and head ache out of planning a 4 week trip, sorted all my accommodation, trips and buses perfectly. Absolutely highlight was noosa, but loved every minute of it! If you’re in st kilda go and see Emma for your east coast

Fantastic experience: I just wanted to write a review to thank Jo for being so helpful with putting my trip together (I couldn´t reccomend her enough). She took the time to listen to what type of experience I wanted and adapted my plan accordingly. She was very patient and allowed me to ask as many questions as I needed, which included questions about my specific trip and general travel advise. Jo was very laid back and relateable which made it easier to talk freely about what sort of trip I was looking for. She was also polite & very friendly - Thanks Jo!

Fantastic experience: Emma at Nomads St Kilda was SO helpful in getting all my east coast travel sorted. Within a few hours, we had planned my entire 6-week trip, including transportation, accom, and tours/activities. I appreciated her personalized recommendations and felt like she really listened to my wants and concerns to help me plan the best possible trip for me and my friend. Would recommend for any travel planning throughout Aus!

Fantastic experience: Jacob was an amazing help booking a last minute east coast trip for 4 of us! Took a big weight off our shoulders. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I usually don’t write reviews but I truly cannot recommend Emma from Happy Travels enough. After arriving in Melbourne I started trying to plan an East Coast trip myself – but struggled to put pieces of it together and needed some help/advice. I decided to speak to Emma and from the moment I met her she was so inviting, friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience a lot less overwhelming. She had extensive knowledge of the East Coast and suggested activities that felt tailored to my hobbies and interests. She then patiently sat with me, answered all my questions, gave me ideas/tips for my trip based off her own personal experience. After a few hours she had devised a plan which provided the perfect balance of activities and relaxation for me. The whole process was so smooth and easy. I ended up booking within my budget and so far it’s been an amazing trip. Having previously booked with other travel agencies and had bad experiences, I have actively tried to stay away from them and book my own trips, independently. Emma has completely changed my perception of agencies just by taking the extra time and care when booking my trip; If I need to book anything else whilst here, it’ll be through Happy Travels/Emma. I’d suggest anyone reading this to do the same. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: Emma did all the work with a smile on her face. What a gem. Made the while process stress free and made everything work beautifully. A credit to the company

Fantastic experience: I had such a good experience with Emma at nomads base st kilda. She is so amazing at what she does and helped me so much. She sat with me for hours going through everything and explaining what everything is. No question was too stupid, she answered everything. I enjoyed booking through Emma as she was telling me about her own experience of traveling up the coast and giving me ideas for my trip. It was also good to have a bit of a laugh when you’re booking something so big as it’s quite overwhelming thinking about everything that you want to do in a short time. I’m so glad I chose to book through Emma. It just made my life so much easier :) She’s such a bubbly girl and I’m excited to come back to visit at some stage again. Emma Coffey
