I booked my first solo trip overseas with the help of the team at Student Flights on Adelaide…read morestreet. I was after accommodation and flight times that would be safe for a woman travelling alone, and Jamaal (the store manager) was patient with me and understanding of my concerns. I could only drop by at late hours (past 5pm) after work, which was when Student Flights was also set to close, and Jamaal was willing to stay back past closing hours until everything was booked. I even caught him stepping out once for lunch and he stayed back even though I insisted he go grab something to eat! This place can get very packed at certain hours, particularly during lunch breaks, Friday nights, and weekends. So be sure to pop in early on a week day if you don't want to be waiting around, unless you like reading masses of travel brochures. But all up I've never had such great service from a travel agency before. I'm definitely going back for the next trip I book.

We booked travel, hotel and excursions with Rima at Student Travel in Brisbane. She was AMAZING!…read more She took the time to make sure we had exactly what we wanted for a trip to Port Douglas and asked us to come back to her for any feedback we had, which we did. Overall, we had a lovely experience in Port Douglas with only a few things that were, well, awful. She immediately looked into getting those items if not fixed, at least removed from their listings. She was incredible and we highly recommend her!

I don't at all consider myself a pro when it comes to knowing about leather. I have, however,…read morehunted the perfect leather bag through the leather markets of Italy and can gage whether something is shonky or not. And as far as my novice eyes can tell, Hunt Leather in the CBD is definitely legit! With a huge amount of leather goods hailing from Colombia, Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, the owners of Hunt Leather have done a good job at sourcing some beautiful pieces. There are bags of all sizes, wallets, travel purses, laptop cases and so much more available here. I had a particular weakness for the Langchamp products. These beautiful items come with pretty hefty prices though. At an average of $1100 for an normal sized woman's handbag, don't say I didn't warn you. The service was reserved, one of those "peer over the top of your glasses at the customers" style experiences, but it wasn't awkward or unpleasant. In saying this it would have been nice to be asked if I needed any assistance. But if you need a bit of leather in your life and are finding it difficult to find something well made, pop into Hunt Leather, but prepare yourself for the credit card sting.

Amazing walking tour today with Bruce. He was so knowledgeable about the city's history and…read morearchitecture and was so personable. He also repeated important dates for us, so when our tour ended, we were able to retain this new info! We enjoyed a trip up the city hall belltower, a ferry ride, a nice coffee break all in between the 3 hours walking the beautiful city. Highly recommend! PS - had I known he wouldn't accept a cash tip we would have bought him coffee!

We spent a wonderful couple of hours exploring the city of Brisbane yesterday morning with Maggie…read more A small group of six which made it easy to hear all the information being given. We typically do a tour like this when we first land in a city to get a feel of the area and she did just that as well as learning some other fun facts you typically would not know just walking by a place. Highly recommend. It is a free service and the greeters do it out of their love for the city - you surely can't beat that. Thank you

Helpfully placed in the centre of Queen st Mall is the Brisbane Visitor Information Centre…read more This place is good for tours and accommodation bookings, events and entertainment information, brochures and maps, or general tourist advice you need for the Brisbane and Greater Brisbane areas. If you can't find a place in the city or your phone has died, the lovely ladies at the Information Centre are well equipped to lend you hand. My only annoyance is that sometimes they are busy so you may have to wait for a couple of minutes. 4 stars for finding out where you need to go!
