Helen organised one of the best holidays we have taken. As travel has been our focus all our lives the trip to Vietnam was memorable on every count. Helen organised a luxurious boat trip, seamless travel and easy transfers. I could not recommend her more highly.

I can't rave enough on the outstanding job Helen did in organising our family holiday. She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. We had a fantastic time and there was no hassle, just fun. We were in the best of hands. Thanks Helen!

Thank you Helen and team for the impressive service! Highly organised and patient with our questions. We booked two family holidays with Helen and we were impressed with how easy it was, the value for money and how beautiful the accommodation was.

Your Holidays and Helen have been exceptional with organising a very recent and complex 5 week vacation — several tours in different countries, train, many flights, private drivers and my very specific High Polar activities. It was all faultless. No ordinary travel agent could have done all this.

Helen from Your Holidays has been an excellent travel agent, booking flights and car for overseas travel. She replied promptly to emails and ensured our travel plans had all the required information and documentation, which meant all went smoothly while we were away. Thank you so much Helen!

Frequently asked

The questions travellers ask us most

How much can I actually save on a premium tour?

Most of our clients save 20–40% versus booking the same hotels, transfers and experiences directly. Savings come from agent-only tour inventory, operator relationships, bundled inclusions and destination-based pricing. Every quote shows you the retail comparison so you see exactly what you're saving.

Which destinations and operators do you book?

We specialise in premium small-group and independent tours across Asia, Europe and beyond — Vietnam, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, the UK, France, Italy, Scandinavia and more. Helen picks the operator and itinerary based on your style, dates and budget, not commissions.

Can you handle complex multi-stop or private itineraries?

Yes — this is where booking with a concierge really pays. Sydney → Vietnam → Japan → home, with private guides, stopovers and different hotels, is a quick conversation for Helen. It's a full weekend on booking sites.

What if something goes wrong while I'm overseas?

One number — Helen's mobile. She personally rebooks, escalates with the operator, arranges alternate accommodation and keeps your family updated. Our reviews are full of exactly this story; it's the reason 10-year clients don't leave.

Do you charge a service fee?

For most premium tour bookings, no — we're paid by the tour operator, so the total price you see is the total price you pay. For complex custom itineraries or ad-hoc changes we may quote a small consulting fee upfront so there are never surprises.

How far in advance should I book?

For premium small-group tours, 6–12 months is ideal to secure the best rooms and guides. For independent tours, 3–6 months is usually the sweet spot. That said, we routinely pull off last-minute departures when others can't — call us even if you're leaving soon.
