Anna Curran Personal Travel Manager

“Anna has been so helpful planning a trip to Canada and New York for the end of the year. She took all the stress out of trying to find the best flights and accommodation and I was so thrilled with the massive price difference she was able to come up with. She always replied quickly and nothing was too much to ask. I recommend Anna's services highly and will definitely be using her for future trips”

“When Anna told me she was going to be a freelance travel manager I was over the moon. Anna was my mentor over 15 years ago when I first started out as a travel consultant with Sunlover Holidays and with her extensive first hand travel experience it seemed the perfect fit for her to become a travel manager. As a former travel consultant I know that travel agents have access to wholesale rates and better deals than I can find on the internet myself. I have already referred my mother to Anna; who then grabbed her a great deal to Bali and mum had a great time. I have now booked a cruise with Anna and while I found a deal online Anna was able to upgrade me to a much better room with a window for only a small amount more. Bonus! I'm so happy to have Anna as my personal travel manager; I trust her and her travel experience and have had a wonderful experience in booking through her. I have already recommended her to friends and wouldn't hesitate to refer more people to her.”

“We have recently returned from a wonderful trip to Spain Portugal and Morocco that was organised by Anna from The Travel Managers. After thorough research, Anna was able to find flights that were superior to those on offer online. She researched many tour companies and found a tour that would suit our budget and time constraints. Anna was an excellent travel agent for us and considered our unique needs as she planned our itinerary, offering suggestions whilst considering our personal likes and dislikes. She organised everything from booking our tours, car hire, flights and travel insurance. She then delivered all our tickets to us at home when they were issued. She was extremely efficient and reliable with a good knowledge of the travel industry. Anna was always contactable and replied to our questions within hours of emailing her. There was also the added comfort whilst we were away of Anna being available at any time via both phone and email if we needed help. She was very easy to deal with and truly had our best interests at heart. We have no hesitation in recommending Anna and will be using her again for our next trip. Thanks Anna.”

“I love a holiday when I merely give details about destinations and the rest is taken care of. Good value accommodation in perfect city locations, close to major attractions, ideal and affordable air carriers, connecting to three different locations, which we had previously considered too difficult, and valuable tips, suggestions and ideas we may have overlooked. This describes our recent holiday to Vancouver, Myrtle Beach in South Carolina and lastly, New York. Thanks to Anna's years of experience as a Travel Agent, her attention to detail and consideration of our needs, we have enjoyed a wonderful time.”

“I want to firstly THANK Anna SO MUCH for her hard work in finding us the best hotels, flights & tours for our 4 week trip of a lifetime to Lapland�. To give you an idea of how big our trip was we visited Dubai, Munich (car hire also), Salzburg, Tyrol, Kakslauttanen Lapland (glass igloo & log cabin, snow mobile rides, husky dog sled rides, reindeer rides & northern lights tour), Sarraselka, Rovaniemi (to see the man in the big red suit �) & Helsinki. This was a massive trip with loads of hotels & flights to configure. I must say that there was not one place we stayed at that wasn't amazing. Every single hotel was just gorgeous & had views to die for with plenty of room for our 2 kids also. The flights went off perfectly with no dramas at all. My family & i cant thankyou enough for planning our trip of a lifetime for us. The choices you gave us for hotels were spot on �. Never again will i plan a holiday. I will definately be leaving it in your very capable hands Anna Curran. Your communication throughout the year to organise our trip was impeccable & i could not fault you. Your amazing � THANKYOU from the Illingworth Family in Perth”

“Wow!! what an adventure. An Alaskan small boat adventure cruise with 'Uncruise' (unsurpassed in all regards), an Alaskan Rail Trip combined with an Hawaiian Island hopping stopover to 'recover' on the way home. The whole trip smooth and flawless as organised by Anna Curran. I can't speak highly enough of the personal service that Anna offered in putting this together especially the ability to make personal choices regarding accommodation and activities.The providers of all aspects of this adventure were as advertised or better and we had no unexpected surprises. Anna was prompt and very approachable throughout the planning process and followed up with a debrief to ensure all was well. I would be very happy to recommend Anna's services and won't hesitate to reuse her services for our next adventure. I am more than happy to elaborate, if others have any questions of this type of holiday.”

“I can't recommend Anna highly enough. She has recently taken over managing my companies travel and it has saved me not only money but time. No request is too hard and the service is fantastic. On our next trip she has managed to secure me nearly $3000 in accomodation savings over what we normally pay in Vienna for our regular trips. I'm not normally a "travel agent" user but am now a convert. Please give Anna a go if you haven't tried her you won't be disappointed.”

“Thanks to Anna we had a fantastic time in Malaysia. The private tours she arranged were reasonably priced and very enjoyable and informative. She was efficient with the planning always getting back to us promptly and with the information we had requested . Anna is also caring, she really wanted us to have a wonderful holiday. My sons are also booking their trip to Hawaii with her because of our positive experience. I will only be using Anna for future trips. I highly recommend her.”

“Anna helped organise travel and accommodation for an overseas wedding and honeymoon. She was patient, knowledgable and understanding. Highly recommend using Anna as your travel manager.”

“Anna took care of our overseas holiday, managing all our flight and accommodation details and getting the best prices for us. Anna was very professional and delivered what we asked for. I would highly recommend Anna as a travel manager to anyone....I will certainly be using Anna's expertise and knowledge on my next overseas jaunt!”

“I’d like to thank Anna for her amazing help getting me home after a quarantine bungle returning to Queensland. We needed to fly to Singapore and directly back to Australia to reenter hotel quarantine in Brisbane. Between the nightmare of rules to transit Singapore, and then get back into Brisbane with an approved hotel spot Anna worked tirelessly with airlines and double checking requirements, both state, federal and international . This was all achieved from having a start of a plan on a Friday morning to booked flights and everything in place by Friday afternoon. Without her help I’d still be languishing interstate not back in Brisbane. Couldn’t recommend Anna highly enough. ”

“Hi Anna, Just checking in to say a huge heartfelt THANK YOU. Our annual retreat went off beautifully. Even the weather was perfect AND we were also graced with not only experiencing a full moon but also experiencing a full lunar eclipse!!! I couldn’t think of anywhere else we could have had a better view! Having your assistance with planning of this years accommodation, travel arrangements and itinerary was greatly appreciated. Just knowing you were there if something went wrong gave us peace of mind and allowed us to concentrate on other components on the event. You help took a huge load off of our shoulders and we are ever so grateful. So thank you. BIG HUGS xx Warm regards ”

“Anna, Where do I start?...... It is hard to express how happy I am that I found your company to help make my dream (that I have since I was about 12yo) become a reality. From the moment I found you online, I felt your passion for what you do. You told me that Borneo was not going to fulfil my dream and through your experience in Sumatra, you sent me on my Journey of a lifetime. I have been blessed to be able to travel the world with work and with my family but this one was very different to any other trip. It was Perfect! From the moment we got off the plane and met Sandi we felt we were in great hands. His warm smile and great sense of humour suited us to a tea. The Eco lodge was perfect sitting at the gateway to the jungle. The food was amazing, the beds so comfortable. With Sandi's guidance through the jungle we felt safe, challenged in a good way but once again with his humour and singing along the way we knew we were in good hands. Having Lilax and Jampak there also was fantastic. Day 1 we were so lucky to me the "big guy" King Louie" along with 6 other Orangutan, 3 baboons. Some that joined us while we sat for fruit break and lunch (which was delicious)giving us the amazing opportunity to get close enough to feed them, and feel their incredible big hands and corse hair. Day 2 bought on a tougher journey with harder treks as we searched for Mina. We were lucky to run into King Louie again but with only our family there we built his trust enough to feed the big guy. Could not believe how gentle he was. As we ate fruit we were had a visit from a mum and baby again who spent a lot of time with us again. Truely heaven in the jungle. Heading into the villages to the markets, tuk tuk trip, school visits to give kids gifts and our great lunch was a totally different experience again. One we loved and which certainly opened our eyes to a much simpler way of life. One which everyone should experience. Our time in Tankahun was different and great experience. Our time with the elephants was devine. Such amazing massive creatures. This trip has been a life changing experience. Making appreciate what I have back home so much more. I will return and would love to bring my husband and boys when my 5yo is a little older. They would love the Jungle experience and Sandi told us of families they have had spend 1-2 nights in the Jungle. I want them to see what I saw. We can't thank you and the guys enough for our amazing jungle adventure. We had tried to convince (as I'm sure you have also) Sandi to come to Aus one day. We would certainly look after him in Melbourne and show him our city and Aussie bush life. We will certainly be recommending you to everyone and will be in touch regarding further trips. Cheers Sonia Roarty”

“Thanks Anna, Such a wonderful adventure and everything we did was spot on to what I had in mind. Would like to thank you so much, you made the whole experience so enjoyable and worry free. My mind was at ease knowing you where there if we needed or had any problems. Don't know if you've ever been to Lima but the airport is crazy and the taxi drivers are next level crazy the way they drive. I nearly felt like kissing the ground when we got to our destination, definitely a experience. I suppose it is big city, so to be expected. I'm glad we booked the hotel on the way over, so needed a shower and a lie down, if only for a couple of hours. The hotel on the way back home in Lima was gorgeous and brilliantly located. The service was staff where exceptional. Would highly recommend G Adventures for the Inca Trail and Amazon. They have the best camp spots on the trail and the food was amazing, we where definitely looked after well. The whole Inca Trail was just amazing the stunning scenery, the local villages and all the Inca Ruins along the way and to finish at Machu Picchu was the icing on the cake. The Amazon I would highly recommend as well. Not sure what I expected but it sure was a educational and wonderful experience. The lodge was beautiful and relaxed and loved exploring the Amazon each day, there is so much to see. Our guide (Elvis) said people usually stay just a night or two but I would recommend people stay longer like we did. You really can't see enough in that small amount of time and enjoy the experience, just for future reference if you have anybody else enquire. Just what I needed a adventure to fill the heart and soul, a once in a lifetime experience I will treasure forever. Thanks again for your wonderful planning and making this trip so enjoyable, very much appreciated. Very Happy Traveller Anne-Maree ”

“Hi Anna, Our holiday in Spain was absolutely amazing. I cannot pinpoint one highlight as there were so many. We loved the beautiful ancient aquaduct in Segovia, the walled city of Toledo, Madrid and its beautiful architecture, Seville and the flamenco dancers, eating dinner overlooking the beach in Valencia and sipping cocktails on the beach in Barcelona and Llafranc. It was all wonderful. We had never done an organised tour before and were a bit sceptical about how it would go but it was fantastic. The tour director was wonderful and so enthusiastic about Spain. We met some lovely people who we intend to keep in contact with. The only thing with the tour was that not all the sightseeing experiences were included and we had to pay extra for a lot of those. The hotels were also a long way out of town so to get dinner etc we had to catch taxis, ubers etc. We will definitely do another tour again as it was a great way to experience everything without having the stress of driving yourself. Next time I will pay for all the optional extras upfront. That is the only thing I would change. Llafranc was absolutely beautiful. We explored all around the area and visited many other beach towns. It was a great place to experience the beautiful beaches. Tony and I are keen to go back again next year. We are thinking of doing the top part of Spain and Portugal or maybe Italy. I have subscribed to your newsletter and will let you know with plenty of advance warning when we are thinking of going again. Thank you so much for all your help in organising this trip. You took all the stress away for us. The hotels you chose for us were amazing. I could not have done this on my own. I will definitely leave a review on Facebook and will refer anyone I know that needs travel assistance. Thank you again for everything. Best wishes, Karen & Tony Bell”

“We used Anna to arrange all our recent travel needs for a girls (8 of us) trip to Italy. Her attention to detail became clear when every little step of our trip was arranged for us, pick ups/transfers/getting us on the correct trains etc, which we were all very grateful for. The tours she arranged for us were all amazing and by far my favourite was a small group day boat trip to the isle of capri - what an amazing day and definitely a highlight for me getting to swim into a cave. The accommodation exceeded all our expectations on standards/location/breakfast included etc. highly recommended Anna for all your travel needs. Look forward to working with you again one day 😁🇮🇹🥂”

“We recently booked a river cruise including a couple of land extensions to Eastern Europe with Anna, and she was awesome. Being first time river cruisers Anna handled our entire trip from flights, to hotels and to the ship. We are experienced world travellers, but it was so nice to pass that responsibility to somebody as competent and timely as Anna. She was also there for us the entire time to handle questions and deal with any travel logistics if they arose. This APT trip was incredible, from day one our tour guides and the time we spent on the ship was amazing. We met old friends and made lots of new friendships that will last a lifetime. We highly recommend Anna for all travel requirements. She is very knowledgeable and has promptly and efficiently handled all our travel requests. We have booked another trip with Anna to Fiji for later in the year and we have left all bookings etc. with Anna to handle. ”
