Easy processes and very helpful guys in booking but still I didn’t get my receipt individually for each resort
We had a great experience booking our Australia trip with Happy Travels, and Matt was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made everything so easy for us so definitely recommend him for anyone who needs help booking their travels!
Giles was the kindest with helping us with our travels, and when something we booked through another company got cancelled- he helped us immensely! Thankyou so much Giles:)
Matt was so helpful with booking my trip across the east coast Aus. He worked within budgets/timelines so well and gave me the best recommendations and tips on my travels. Such an easy process and way less stress than booking it all myself. If I could give more than 5* I would!
Great company with very knowledgable staff. Lennox was great and patient in explaining the different tour options and finding something that best suited what I was looking for. Would definitely recommend if looking for information or help with booking tours
The company is really great to build your own customized trip. You can choose your activities, stays and be honest with your thoughts. I only can recommend it !!
Matt was so helpful with helping me book all travel, accommodation and activities! He was happy to give his own recommendations and tips for my trip. Thankyou:)

I had such a great experience planning my one-month East Coast trip with Jamie! He was incredibly friendly, helpful and super easy-going throughout the whole process.
Jamie was completely open to my ideas and really took the time to understand what I wanted from my trip. We went through everything together and managed to create an itinerary that fit perfectly within my dream budget while still including so many amazing activities and experiences. He also helped me organise the Greyhound buses, which made everything so much easier and stress-free.
I really appreciated how uncomplicated and personal the whole experience was. Jamie genuinely wanted to make sure I got the most out of my time in Australia, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
I would absolutely recommend planning your trip with Jamie — especially if you want someone who listens to what you want, works with your budget and still helps you create an unforgettable trip! 🌴🇦🇺

Happy Travels were brilliant in helping organise and book a solo trip to the East Coast over New Years! Initially had booked with a group tour with another company and actually cancelled and went back to Happy Travels after they were so much more helpful and clear in what they can offer and made me feel more confident to do it as a solo itinerary. Ryan was super helpful in tailoring activities to what I wanted, recommendations and explaining how everything works as it will be my longest solo travel. Yet to go on the trip but would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to take the stress out of the planning and feel confident in who they book through! Thank you!

Super helpful, forthcoming and personalised. I was overwhelmed at first booking an eastcoast trip. But Brooke guided me through the whole process and made it super easy to put a trip together even on a budget! Very grateful for this opportunity!

Joe is the best!! He made the impossible possible and managed to book a sold out tour to us! Thx!!

The entire process was so simple! I left booking everything to the last minute and Matt made sure that i was able to book everything i wanted at short notice. 100% recommended! Takes the pressure off booking and organising things if you get overwhelmed like me 😅 Also get perks through booking with happy travels i.e money off some hostels/travel. Definitely will be using for my next trip.

Had a such a great experience with this company. Was lost with what I wanted to do with my east coast trip but Jack at The Nomads branch fully sorted me out. He had done the whole trip himself and showed me and explained his experience of it from his perspective. Was really useful to have someone who was, at one point in my exact position, talk me through the best next steps.
