Gail Hughes Personal Travel Manager

“We could not fault our holiday to Kenya and Tanzania that Gail organised for us. Everything was organised for us down to the last detail. Everything about our experience was perfect - timing, transfers, accommodation and the tours. Absolutely loved the Travel Key App that Gail set us up with . Gave our itinerary down to the last detail. Gail's communication to make sure everything was running smoothly was above and beyond our expectations. Gail booked us into Asilia Camps for each of our safaris and we couldn't speak hightly enough of them. A once in a lifetime experience!”

“From the first contact with Gail she was professional, informative and listened to what we were after in our holiday. She was able to put together an amazing trip that exceeded our expectations. The arrangements and logistics that Gail organised went smoothly and added to our whole experience. The personal touches such as calling us before, during and after our holiday and arranging for assistance through Customs were added bonuses. Highly recommend Gail and we will definitely be using Gail again for future holidays.”

“Gail had a hand in every detail of my trip to Fiji, both big and small. Leaving the big island I headed north and caught a ferry to a mysterious island and simply simply trusted Gail’s decision to send me there”

“I would have not hesitation in recommending Gail from Travel Manages. She provides an extremely helpful and professional service. Any changes I made to our itinerary were never a problem. I felt like we were looked after in every aspect of the process and this kind of service really makes you feel special.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thankyou to Gail for helping us book a fantastic holiday to South Africa, which exceed all our expectations. Great job and so well organised. The little touches made the holiday special. The basket of goodies provided in our accommodation in Cape Town was really appreciated, and unexpected. All the wonderful accommodation along the way. Best holiday ever and cannot thankyou enough.”

“Gail was brilliant. I've planned two previous trips to Africa using her knowledge and my most recent trip to New Zealand went just as well. Gail was able to find and book tours that met our interests and desire, and ensured all accommodation and transfers ran smoothly. Gail was always happy to be contacted should there have been any issues - which there were none. We'll certainly be using her services at some point again in the future! :-)”

“Gail, you're a gem. Thank you so much for your help and expertise in planning our NZ trip, everything went so smoothly. You are now firmly stuck with us as ongoing clients! We look forward to working with you on the next trip.”

“Gail Hughes prepared an excellent itinerary for our recent trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. There was not one hiccup during our month long journey in which she organised flights, transfers, accommodation, car hire, excursions and some meals. Gail went above and beyond her duties to ensure our holiday was above our expectations every day.”

“Thank you, Gail, for the logistics and your attention to detail on our recent holiday to South Africa. Your scheduling of our private transfers, your recommendations of the exceptional hotels and exciting activities and the Rovos Rail trip made our holiday all the more special. Orlando and Trilby”

“Right from our initial meeting with Gail, you could see that she was well informed of the areas we wanted to travel to. She personally met with us and discussed our travel itinery, our accommodation choices and our budget. From there Gail created an amazing trip which was within our budget, exceeded our expectations and went without a hitch. If you are a person that likes attention to detail then Gail will deliver that and more. Will definitely recommend and use Gail again for any overseas travel that I will do.”

“Gail, Thankyou so much for organising our holiday to South Africa and neighbouring countries. Our itinerary was fantastic with all connections, tours, & transfers like clockwork. We look forward to you organising another journey!”

“"We always thought Africa would be a good holiday destination but our experience was just wonderful. We went for 5 weeks to South Africa, Victoria falls and the Chobe river. Gail understood what we wanted to see and experience in Africa, at the pace we wanted to travel and the budget we wanted to spend. She was very good at following up on changes and suggestions. She communicated very well with us by phone and email. What she recommended as far as hotels, Safari lodge, the tour itself and the day to day activities were mostly very good and well planned. The local companies that Gail used provided very good service. Very happy to recommend Gail and do further travel with her"”

“Gail was great in communication and organising a wonderful holiday to Africa, all we wanted to do was capture great photos and the experience of living close to the wildlife. We couldn't have been more exhilarated with the whole experience.”

“I’ve waited 40 years to go to Africa, I’m so pleased I had Gail to organised a tailor made itinerary. Gail was very helpful with visas, providing the paperwork or online info. We had safari and houseboat experiences, Vic Falls, Cape Town and driving the garden route. Having private transfers/tours is the only way to go- absolutely no hassles to worry about. We enjoyed our complimentary wine on our first night and on our return she sorted out our Avis dispute. I’m already planning my next trip.”

“Gail provided an excellent tour experience that went above and beyond our expectations. Her organisational skills meant we were met and ushered seamlessly all the way through our Africa trip. Her expert knowledge meant we were always in the best locations at the right times to make the most of our time. The accommodation generally fantastic and we loved every minute of it. Gail’s first hand experience really shone through. Would love to do it all again.”

“Gail planned a holiday for my family, travelling to Croatia and Slovenia in May of this year. Her arrangements were excellent and very well coordinated. I would certainly recommend Gail as travel agent for any overseas trip!!”

“A huge thank you to Gail Hughes for an amazing African Safari. The attention to detail and quick response to all queries and requests both in the planning stages and while we were on our trip. The Safari camp on the Serengeti Tanzania an absolute highlight. All transfers executed smoothly. Accommodation, guides, transport and staff at all sites exceptional.”

“I cannot thank Gail enough for going above and beyond on our group business & leisure trip in South Africa. Gails recommendations from airfares to accommodation, safe transfers, extra tours, what to take on our trip etc made it one of the most memorable travel destinations & experiences we have had. It took all the stress off us so we could just enjoy & immerse in our time away. We will certainly get Gail to organize our next adventure. If you're looking for a stress-free adventure, with 5-star service that delivers 5-star memories for keep sake than you cannot go past Gail to sort it all for you.”

“Gail impressed me since I first met her when she first started with Travel Managers back in a shared business course we did together many years ago. I contacted her last year as my family and I were ready to travel. We had the best time in New Zealand. Our itinerary, accommodation, activities and transport were seamless, fun and stress free. Looking forward to our next trip through Gail. Finally, Gail is incredibly easy to deal with, flexible, competent, knowledgeable and has awesome communication. I would thoroughly recommend Gail and Travel Managers to anyone serious about travel but wanting it to be easy.”

“I'd like to say a big thank you to Gail for orchestrating our incredible trip to New Zealand. The experience was truly exceptional, thanks to Gail's meticulous planning. Every accommodation she selected was outstanding, and the well-thought-out pace of the trip allowed us to fully savour each moment.”

“We travelled to South Africa and to Zimbabwe for 3 weeks. Every moment of the luxurious trip was perfectly executed with personal attention to detail such as full airport transfers with excellent luxurious accomodation.The itinerary was just superb and we are much travelled but found this trip was simply our best trip ever! Always available even whilst travelling to answer any of our enquiries Gail is an exceptionally good travel agent who spends an enormous amount of time creating your perfect holiday. Thank you again for our best holiday ever! Very best wishes Mark and Martin ”

“Sensational trip, from engagement Gail listened to exactly what was requested and was very patient with us in planning the East Africa safari and cultural experience. Planning was exceptional and exceeded all expectations, Gail's knowledge of Africa evident and the daily travel pack prepared we needed and used daily so big thank-you for this. Gail looked after us at all times, we felt comfortable to seek her assistance to validate all was in order pre-trip and during the trip. The Safari Guides were safe drivers, very knowledgeable, got us opportunity to observe so many animals in their habitat, were professional at all times and joined in our fun to make this holiday a great adventure we will never forget. Big thanks to 'Adventure Out Load'. We loved the varied types of accommodation and were well looked after everywhere we went which adding to the experience. We would not hesitate to recommend Gail as a Travel Manager. Thank you so much.”

“Gail put together the most amazing holiday in Iceland for us. She listened to our input and tailored a package that was just brilliant.”

“Gail organised an amazing trip to Canada and Alaska passage, everything ran like clock work, pick ups, tours special event like high tea at the Empress, hotel's were central to towns. Was so pleased. Thank you Gail excited for next trip now.”

“I cannot rate Gail highly enough. Her expertise and understanding of what I wanted on my recent Alaska Cruise holiday was beyond my expectations. No request was ever too difficult and it was comforting to know Gail was only a phone call away when I needed to clarify anything while abroad.”

“Gail pulled together our rather eclectic itinerary (a remote fishing lodge on a small island in Alaska; train travel in mainland Alaska; followed by visiting Japan!) at quite short notice, made even shorter when she identified some of our destinations would be shutting down due to seasonal constraints. Gail dealt with the challenges this caused with professionalism and good humour. We were regularly kept up to date with the progress of our itinerary, out of office hours as well as during. This was particularly helpful when we were often out of mobile network coverage. At times I think she was let down a bit by slow responses from her overseas teams but Gail ‘herded the cats’ skilfully. Our family has used Gail previously and plan to again. Thanks Gail.”
