Phone stolen in the middle of nowhere PNG; stuck in Europe during 2010 Volcano Ash cloud; day before travel, realised passport has expired; broken leg on ski fields of Aspen; unable to return home due to snow storm in Christchurch; stuck in Manhattan after Hurricane Sandy...  These are all experiences of our staff or our clients over the years, and in each one we have had a part, helping get them where they want to be as soon as possible, and helping with the insurance claims.

Being a travel agent is not as easy as people think! We use years of experience: our personal travel experiences, information gained through our clients’ travel and industry colleagues and newsletters: to put together a trip that is perfect just for you, whether you are traveling for work, leisure, family or some other reason. 

In this day and age it’s easy to go online and book accommodation and flights yourself, and at face value it can seem cheaper.  But using a travel agent is about ease, experience and economy …

The ease of telling someone what you want and having them find the best options for you.  Putting your mind at ease, by knowing that in times of trouble there is someone you can call no matter when or where, and minimising the chance of trouble.  Using our experience to give you the best experience, understanding that everyone wants the most economic option, as, no matter what class of travel or reason, value for money is a priority.

So EST. are YOUR TRAVEL ASSISTANTS, assisting you to have amazing travel experiences from the minute you start researching to the moment you put your photo book on the coffee table.
