My Reviews

Had a great holiday, everything went smoothly.

Had a great holiday, everything went smoothly. The way you know you have a great travel agent is when you don’t have to talk to them after the arrangements are made, because everything was organised so well.

- Kevin Hubble, NT
Very professional & he is always there

So glad we had Philip organise our cruise as he is very professional and he is always there when needed or have a problem. We highly recommend Holidays Beckon and will certainly be using his services next time.

- Sue Thompson, QLD
Extremely happy with the service

We recently returned from a holiday to Phuket. Philip organised all our flights, connections, transfers etc and made the whole process so easy! The service was so good – about 1 week prior to leaving, we received an email with ALL relevant paperwork located in the one email (we’d been emailing back and forth for a while) which seriously just got us so organised. Extremely happy with the service and would definitely use Philip again for our next trip.

- Debbie Neat, WA
Professionalism & responsiveness made it easy

Philip helped us with a recent overseas trip and his service and helpfulness made everything run smoothly! Philips’s professionalism and responsiveness made all the organising very easy and the trip was a great success!
