So with an appointment booked my partner and I went in. Service was very friendly and Peta was super helpful. She was able to find us a few different options for flights within the price range I was after. There was nothing I could fault! The appointment lasted an hour, she was completely transparent about our options and certainly secured us a great deal. We booked the trip on the spot. Cannot reccomend highly enough, they're conveniently located on George street and really great for helping to sort more complex travel plans that some of us just cannot be bothered taking the steps to sort out.

On September 11, we embarked on a 10 day, Brightwater Holidays Tour to visit the Gardens of the…read moreNorthern Italian Lakes. Having been to Italy a number of times, but never to the lake area, we were excited about experiencing the gardens, villas and countryside that this region offers. The trip exceeded our expectations in every way. We spent 3 days in Como on Lago di Como in the Barchetta Excelsior hotel which was centrally located and served as our base for visiting several attractions including Villa Carlotta, Villa Balbianello, Villa d' Este and Villa Melzi all exquisite in all respects. A visit to Bellagio allowed us to experience the village and grab something light for lunch. Four days were spent at Lake Garda at the Grand Hotel, an exceptional, lakeside hotel that personifies the word "Grand" for sure. Visits to the villa and garden at Il Vittoriale degli Italiani at the eccentric former home of Gabriele d' Annunzio, the whimsical, Andre Heller Botanical Garden and Villa Cavazzo, with its private gardens, on privately owned, Isola del Garda filled our days. A trip to a lemon house in Tignale and a visit to the quaint village of Gargnano rounded out our stay in Garda before leaving for Stresa on Lake Maggiore. Prior to our arrival in Stresa, a stop was made in Desenzano to visit the ruins and some floor mosaics of a Roman villa. A stop at Erbusco, in the Franciacorta basin, to tour the Bellavista winery and taste their wines was included along the way. Our stay in Stresa was also lakeside at the Hotel LaPalma, a modernized, vintage hotel with a fabulous Skybar providing unobstructed views of the lake and area. Our remaining 3 days were spent on Lake Maggiore and included visits to the botanical gardens of Villa Taranto, containing specimens collected from all over the world by the Scotsman Neil McEachem, a day trip visit to the lesser lake of Orta San Giulio included a visit to a 12th century island Basilica and a stroll up the Unesco World Heritage Site of the Sacred Mount on a hillside overlooking Lake Orta. An afternoon trip away from Lake Maggiore took us to the Villa Cicogna Mozzoni where a tour of the villa and gardens by its owner, Iacopo Cicogna Mozzoni, underscored the importance and urgency of preserving a family's beautiful, frescoed, historic home and terraced gardens with limited funds and support was evident. Visits to the Borromean Islands of Bella and Madre allowed visits to their respective gardens and villas. They were truly exquisite. The tour, with its choice of sites to visit, the accommodations, the food, the lake and land transportation experiences was outstanding. The precision travel logistics and the depth and richness of this trip could not have been realized without our Brightwater Tour guide, Kate Williamson, whose depth of knowledge, insight, historical anecdotes and humor, were expressed with a great degree of passion and enthusiasm. This traveler has experienced many, many tour guides but none as exceptional as Kate.

I've never really understood the need for a travel agent. My travel style is general to book cheap,…read moresnag an airbnb and wing it, so i've never really needed the promise of a 7 night tour to whatsit or a charming romantic country bed and breakfast get away. Until I decided that I too, would become one of the all inclusive junkies. I work a rather hectic job and as much as I love the bustle of vacationing in a new city, my travel style isn't really relaxing. Generally, I spend most of my vacation days at full tilt trying to see and eat as much as possible. But as I started looking at the upcoming year, I realized I might fancy sitting on a beach, eating buffet food, getting drinks brought to me and generally unplugging. It took 30 years but I finally understand the appeal of the "sit and do nothing" vacation. But the thing is, the "sit and do nothing" is much harder to find then the "book and explore willy nilly vacation". My go-to sites for flights suddenly became a huge, confusing wave of information when I wanted to book an all inclusive, lazy vacation. Jimmy Martin is right down the street from my house and I walk by it all the time, so I decided to take a sneak peek at their website first. It's a good website - clean, easy to navigate and has some pretty snazzy deals. It was enough to warrant a stop in for more information. My stop was quick, but the folks here were really helpful. I travel solo mostly, and all inclusives can be a pain in the butt to book for one person but they gave me some really useful tips/options, without making me feel like a leper for wanting to beach vacation solo. I was only in for a few minutes, but left with a few new places to consider and plans to return at a later date after snooping locations on their website to talk about booking something concrete. I'm not sure if a travel agent is going to be something that replaces my age old habit of internet surfing vacations, but in this particular instance, I think they may become my go-to for the rare lazy travel. If you seek a travel agent - they are very nice and worth chatting with/snooping online.
