    We went on our first family cruise with Chris Watson Travel as part of Sea Scoot 2024 and what an amazing time we all had. My boys (7 &10) loved every minute of it - as did my non line dancing husband. As for me, the extra exclusive activities put on by Chris Watson Travel for the line dancers on board were exceptional. My group of line dance ladies who came along all loved it and will all be booking again for the next one in a heartbeat. Chris was onboard for the cruise and his attentiveness and approachability throughout the duration ensured everyone had the best time possible. I have already booked my next adventure with Chris! Could not recommend highly enough.

    Wow Wow Wow! This is the first time we used a Travel Agent to organise our holiday. And yes we had an amazing experience on a South African Safari with Chris Watson Travel. Chris made everything run so smoothly without a hiccup. We knew we were getting picked up everytime we moved camps, we were provided with the most incredible food and wine and welcomed by all. Chris took care of everything down to the smallest detail. Put it on your bucket list to do a South African safari and book with the best. You too can enjoy Sundowners every day with Chris Watson Travel.

    We had been with Chris on a Gympie Muster trip and then decided to take a bigger holiday. We booked on the 2024 Nashville CMF tour and a few extra days at Hawaii on the way home. The Nashville experience is one we won't forget. It had the right amount of people in the group and a good number of functions to attend. If you are into Country music, I would certainly recommend a trip to Nashville and with Chris Watson Travel. The only hiccup we had had was on the flight over. Due to a medical emergency, we had to divert to Hawaii (through no fault of the travel agency). Unfortunately Qantas were not to helpful in arranging flights to get to Nashville and we sat around the airport for hours. A quick txt to Chris explaining our situation and he was straight onto it. Within an hour or so, we had new flights and booked to Nashville. Great work Chris.

They handled everything from airport transfers to patiently answering our questions, no matter how trivial they seemed. Their attention to detail ensured a smooth and stress-free experience from start to finish. However what truly set this experience apart was the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere they created. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family. The camaraderie, laughter, and shared experiences made for an unforgettable weekend. A huge thank you to Chris, Mel, Nicole, Karen, and Daniel for their hospitality and dedication to making our weekend absolutely amazing!Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable, stress free and well-organised experience.

    This was such an incredible trip. I have been waiting for over 12months due to Covid but the time finally arrived for us to step onboard the light plane with Chris from Chris Watson Travel, there to see us off with a little gift pack. Ben and Joris from Airspeed Aviation were so wonderful, very helpful throughout the trip, showing us flight paths, and telling us where we were heading and what we would see on that section of the flight. All meals were provided and were exceptional, you had a choice from the menu not just a set meal. The accomodation was wonderful, Rawnsley Park Station set in the middle of Flinders Ranges, was so peaceful. I was very impressed with everything and will definitely be travelling with both of these companies again in the future. It is worth the extra $ for the intimate personal service we received. To see so much of this incredible country in 3 days 2 nights was an experience I will remember for a long long time and definitely recommend you try it.

    Firstly I met Chris when he worked for another agency in town, fortunately I was able to follow him some time later when he began his own company.  His personal ethics follow him into his professional life. He is very involved in his community in a number of activities.His staff are wonderful, Janine and Mary that currently work for him are assets to the business. Over this awful  COVID disaster, Chris has found a way to keep the agency doors open. Instead of folding in despair, he & his wife found innovative ways to keep their business going & their team employed.On a  travel note, I have had on several occasions to cancel some big overseas trips due to family illness. Never once was anything a problem or was i made to feel a nuisance. In fact  Chris went over & above to support and help.Rarely over my many years of working or life have I had the pleasure of dealing with such a reputable , honest & sincere young man. These values are shown by the way he and his team conduct business.

    We have recently booked with Chris Watson Travel. We have never used a travel agent before but thought we would, due to the ever changing COVID situation and the need to support local businesses! I must say, we will never go back to not using a travel agent again! The service from Chris and his team has been outstanding! Everything from booking to paying deposits and general updates has been phenomenal!

    Actioned packed from Day one.  The itineraries are awesome. I can highly recommend Chris Watson Travel for the best country music experiences ever.  Travelling overseas with Chris is a must if you love your country music or just love to travel where everything is arranged, just hop on and go!. With his knowledge and love of country music he makes every trip memorable with special access to private concerts, people and places, its just unbelievable. I cannot wait to go again.  So much fun, great value, memories forever.

    I have been on 2 bus tours with CWT. Both tours were fantastically priced & very well organised. The accommodation was great right near Paddy's Markets in Sydney. 1st bus tour was to see P!nk & then Queen + Adam Lambert. Got excellent help when booking a cruise that I had seen online,which was cancelled due to Covid.Will definitely book again
