Michelle is magic. She booked us a trip of a lifetime with a VERY short deadline and I wasn't sure if the trip would even be possible to plan. However Michelle had our itinerary the next day. I must say her service exceeded all expectations. Michelle has extended knowledge of the industry and outstanding attention to detail. Michelle provided valuable insights and recommendations. She took care of everything, from flights and accommodations to tours and transfers, ensuring that we have a seamless travel experience from start to finish. Her communication was impeccable throughout the planning process and we couldn't be more appreciative of her efforts.Whether you're planning a spontaneous getaway or a meticulously planned trip, Michelle will ensure that every detail is taken care of, leaving you free to relax and enjoy your journey.Thanks again Michelle :)

I found this extremely helpful when stuck at airports with changing times/gates etc she was there to clarify. I feel safe to travel anywhere and know she’ll be there for any issues or concerns. Totally recommend!

Michelle is a fabulous asset to the travel business. She has a wonderful capacity to listen to her clients needs, and goes above and beyond to try to satisfy all demands - and I can be demanding!! Michelle has looked after both my domestic and international travel for the past ten years. She always has helpful advice when it is requested. She follows through on even minor matters, and always checks in with me to make sure I have done my bit (like applying for visa waivers etc) She has travelled extensively, so often has great advice as to where to stay or what to see. If you need a brilliant travel agent, then Michelle is your person.

Thank you Michelle for organising our trip to Thailand. It was so easy! For us. We just had to tell you what we wanted and you waved your magic wand to make it happen.

I would highly recommend Michelle for any of your travel requests. Thanks Michelle, you have made it seem like a holiday before it started! Loretta Weedon

Our family has used Michelle many times now for our adventures. She always knows the best spots to stay, best ways to get there and all the must sees.

A friend recommended Michelle, and I couldn’t be happier! She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted from both trips and tailored everything to suit my preferences, including budget.

If you're looking for stress-free, personalized travel planning, I highly recommend Michelle!

Michelle was extremely helpful and efficient in assisting us with the planning of our trip to France. She clearly has a great deal of experience in the travel industry and was able to share first hand knowledge of particular locations and experiences. Michelle always answered any queries I had promptly, as well as clarifying my understandings of expectations and procedures in France - so definitely a reassuring and well informed support person. I look forward to planning and organising our next overseas venture with Michelle due to her 'nothing is too much trouble' manner and the great expertise that she offers!

Michelle from Global Travel Network has been able to find me the best accomodation for the price in any country i visit. I travel overseas to the UK regularly for work & sometimes with 4 weeks notice to organise flights & accomodation. Michelle not only finds things quickly, but at the best price! When talking to her for Holidays, her experience & knowledge of where to find the best deals has allowed me to take countless holidays that would have cost me 30k each for around 20k! So i save money & get suggestions on activities & sites that have shaped my holidays. Would recommend!

Michelle was referred to us from a friend and within an hour of speaking with her, our flights for 5 were booked to the USA, even cheaper than any other travel agent quote.

I was lucky to find Michelle many years ago, and she has been taking care of all my travel dreams since then (and all my friends now)!! As a discerning traveller who wants everything just right, Michelle is the one I trust every time. I use her expertise to guide me in making the best choices for the most amazing trips, if she hasn't been there, she has sent someone else there, or it is next on her personal list to explore. Nothing beats her experience, knowledge and commitment to making sure that the holiday you take, is the one you imagined, only better!!! Her in-destination recommendations have added to the experiences I have had across the world, and I didn't even know I needed them! Do yourself a favour and have Michelle arrange your travel, it will be the best decision you make.

My wife Jacqui and I visited NY, Washington & San Francisco in October 2023. Michelle organised everything. It could not have gone better. Michelle knew all the best places for us to stay including Times Square. She made suggestions for us to visit. Would not hesitate in using her again. Jacqui and I intend to visit Europe in the future and will be using Michelle again. Thankyou so very much Michelle for an amazing trip.

We have used her on numerous occasions and found her service to be exceptional. She is more than happy to do the hard yards for you, and put together an all inclusive trip, meaning all your tourist attraction visits, are pre booked and paid for. This guarantees you won't have any disappointments by missing out on that special visit if you run the gauntlet and try to book it yourself when you get there. She always ensures that the tours booked for you are what you like - as she knows you on a personal level and a professional level. If you are thinking of your next holiday, Michelle needs to be your 1st call..

Michelle was very quickly able to prepare an Itinerary for my desired trip to Southern USA in 2025. She was mindful of getting the best prices on the flights - as Qantas had a sale on, closing in just a few days. Michelle compiled my trip package in a timely fashion and made it available online and on the App. Michelle's communications were quickly responsive, thorough and to the point. I am very happy to follow Michelle's suggestions and recommendations, as she has visited the destinations I will be going to and has a lot of 'intel' in this area.

I stumbled across Michelle many years ago when completing an online enquiry for a cruise. We are frequent travellers and finally had found a travel agent that was professional, so very helpful, whilst also providing incredible prices, that others couldn’t match. Any problems whilst travelling Michelle was on the other end of the line sorting it all out for us. Michelle is well travelled and knowledgeable with all destinations and an added bonus a cruise specialist. I have only personally met Michelle once although she feels like a close friend that l have known a lifetime. Michelle has booked many, many trips for us. The booking program and app makes viewing your trip easy-even for those who aren’t tech savvy! I can’t thank or recommend Michelle enough-her passion for travel is evident in her fantastic itineraries, customer service and overall love for travel.

Michelle now makes all our travel bookings. A few years ago we missed our flight out of London. It was very busy at that time so we were having trouble finding a flight home to Australia. We contacted Michelle who quickly got on the job and found us flights via various countries to get us home. We appreciate her knowledge and efficiency and will always make sure she is behind our travel bookings in future.

What a task we had for Michelle. Organise a trip for a family of 5 in 7 weeks. We are so unorganised, but thanks to Michelle’s knowledge and contacts, she made it happen. Booked us into a beautiful, central resort in Legian, Bali, along with transfers, tips and advice on what to do when we were there. Thanks Michelle and the team at Global Travel Network. You have helped create the most wonderful memories for our family and all done with professionalism and the no worries attitude.
