Karen was brilliant in organizing my travel itinerary, suggesting flights and hotels aligned to my budget and requirements. I appreciated Karen providing comprehensive advice related to visa and insurance and sending a copy of all documentation closer to the travel dates. ~ Carbune, VIC

TWAD goes above and beyond to ensure all our trips are seamless and of high quality. Once again, Karen was put under last minute pressure at the last minute to make considerable changes due to ill health of my travelling companion. She managed it all and always was positive, helpful and cheerful. ~ Todd, VIC

Cocos Keeling & Christmas Island

Thank you so much. Thoroughly recommend Australia’s secret tropical escape in the Indian Ocean. West Australians discovered it during Covid and are trying to keep it secret! We will definitely return here. Snorkelling beyond belief. The locals leave their surf boards in a shack at the break. $2.50 ferry to the other islands. Way beyond our expectations. ~ Dillion, VIC

Canada

Anne, I’ve been thinking about you lots – everything is going along fantastically, we haven’t had one hiccup. Our four days in Vancouver was perfect for bike riding and doing a tour to Capalano suspension bridge, Grouse Mountain and the markets. The location of our apartment was perfect. The train trip was great, we really enjoyed it. We loved driving around Jasper and onto Lake Louise and Banff. The Canadian Rockies are absolutely spectacular, never realised how awesome they were. The lake cruise in Jasper National Park was beautiful, just as Lake Louise and Maligne Lake – they are all so pretty. Their colours are stunning. We also saw some amazing waterfalls. We played 9 holes of golf at Jasper and Banff – fantastic!!.
Today we drove to Calgary and dropped off the hire car and we’re now in Victoria. We just had a walk along the waterfront and once again we’ll collapse into bed. We’re having a ball, thank you so much for your great organising of our trip. ~ Hughes, VIC

For 9 weeks in July/August 2013 I travelled through England, Scotland, France and Italy totally reliant on the advice and bookings from Travel With A Difference.

We simply did not have one worry in the world, as everything was spelt out for us and arranged before we left!
