Maureen and Ken, North Rhyde, NSW.My husband and I wanted to travel on the Orient Express and had dreamt of doing that for many years. It was far too expensive though and we were so lucky to have Sheryl and Suellen at Creative Travel Escapes organise an alternative that mirrored the Orient Express. We travelled from Paris to Istanbul, via Venice, Prague, Krakow, Vienna, Budapest and Brasov, for 33 days. We paid a total of just over $5000 and this included all the train fares. Without the assistance of the girls at CTE, we would never have been able to take the trip we’d always dreamed about. From Istanbul, we then took an organised tour of Turkey for 14 days. Thanks girls – we’ll be back.
Tristan and Isabel, Kew, Vic. We’ve done Contikis and Top Decks in the past and wanted something a little bit different this time. We liked the concept offered by Creative Travel Escapes because with our work commitments we don’t have the time to research and organise the holiday we wanted. We went to Croatia and Italy for our long service – 35 days $4500 for the 2 of us. Magic!!! CTE are already working on our next holiday plan.
Frank and Natalie, Brisbane, Qld Fantastic! We asked CTE to organise a golfing trip to Ireland and they delivered beyond our wildest expectations. Able to enjoy our favourite pastime while soaking up the atmosphere. Thanks again CTE. See you again soon.
Pam, Anne, Sharon, Margaret and Maria - Townsville, Qld Toiling at tuckshop at the kids’ school for years, we had all chatted about one day getting to Italy, and having a Tuscan experience. CTE organised the Tuckshop Ladies Tour of Italy 2009 – it was “absolutely fabulous”. We spent 6 weeks in Italy and surrounds, including 2 weeks in a beautiful apartment in Florence (that was so cheap) and each spent about $5000, including airfares. CTE didn’t disappoint. We’re doing another Tuckshop Ladies trip in 2012 to Spain and Portugal.
From all the Moffatts, I just wanted to extend to you both our sincere thanks for arranging such an easy and thorough holiday for us.... the accommodation was excellent and met all our needs, the travel and tourist suggestions worked well and we essentially had the best holiday yet.
Thank-you both again, we will be in touch again shortly for next year’s trip. Destination potentially the US.
Peter and Joanna, Darwin, NT. CTE organised our driving tour of the UK. They arranged the camper van, advised on best locations and facilities, scenic drives and sourced all park accommodation. They even provided us with various maps. It was totally amazing. Thanks CTE.
Vicki, Toowoomba, Qld My husband and I asked Sheryl and Suellen to assist us in planning and organising our first family overseas trip with our two young boys (aged 1 and 3) across Europe last Christmas. We could not have been happier with the destinations chosen, the transport nor the accommodation, all of which were all carefully selected to suit our family's (rather complex!) needs.
We couldn't recommend Creative Travel Escapes any more highly. 5 stars!! Thanks ladies
Maria, Toowoomba, Qld I had a fantastic time in Spain and Morocco with Suellen and Sheryl. They were always looking out for us. A fantastic trip experience - great choice for women who want to travel without partners
Louise, Brisbane, Qld I have travelled with CTE 3 times now and am soon to embark on a 4th adventure. I love travelling with the Mamma Mia group as we are free to explore as we wish. I love visiting the cute accommodation the ladies source and we are always staying in the centre of the old towns. Everything has always run smoothly and I have no complaints. 5 out of 5 stars Louise
Amanda, Emerald, Qld For a first time traveller, working with these ladies was perfect! They helped me get all the necessary documents sorted for travel, made it possible to attend on a modified schedule, and also some pointers on what best to do when travelling. I really appreciated being part of the small Mamma Mia group as it made me feel not so alone in the big wide world, while still being able to explore on our own too. Locations were amazing and definitely a comfortable stay. Looking forward to another adventure in the future!
Jen J, Toowoomba, Qld Thank you for my fabulous escape to an amazing Adriatic Adventure. I highly recommend Creative Travel Escape; both Sheryl & Suellen were fantastic organising all the travel arrangements & ensuring my travel experience was a wonderful memory made. Thank you ladies; I look forward to future adventures with you. Jen
Simone, Brisbane, Qld. Mamma Mia 2023 Firstly, I would like to thank you both for taking on such a large group for the entire itinerary. You both made sure the trip went to plan (and beyond) - it is appreciated past words I can express.
Thank you Suellen for encouraging me to see more than Italy. Athens was fun and Paros was divine. As soon as I stepped off that ferry on Paros I felt so elated and could have stayed forever. I loved getting to know and spend time with all the ladies in the group and hope to meet up again on future trips. Some truly special ladies.
There must be an incredible amount of time you spend sourcing accommodation. Personally, I loved the variety in style of accommodation. The Florence apartment was my overall favourite.
The unique difference with your trips is the flexibility to be in a city and take part (or not) of whatever tours you like. Your knowledge and guidance of what is available to do at each destination is most valuable to a new traveller.
Thank you both for opening my eyes to what the world has to offer.
Berrnie, Bendigo MammaMia 2023, Italy
Was such a wonderful and enlightening experience to travel Italy with these 2 knowledgeable ladies.
All accommodation was close to sightseeing and tourist attractions. All suggestions on the attractions were spot on for what was recommended on their website and information booklet.
Nothing was a trouble for them.
We all had a great time, was a bit sad when it was over, but have great memories of a very well organised holiday.
Ciao
