Amazing!

From beginning to end this whole experience was amazing! Shelley was easy to work with and planned the trip of our dreams for our honeymoon. Shelley met with us to understand our different likings with traveling. She designed a fantastic itinerary for us the whole way. She was helpful when we asked to change things or provide different options just to compare. Everything went perfectly on our trip! All hotels, transportation and tours that were set up were fantastic and went smoothly with no issues. We absolutely will be using Shelley and Aspire Down Under again in the future!

Amazing Australian Honeymoon Trip!

Shelley from Aspire Down Under helped us to plan our Australian honeymoon. We just go back and what an incredible trip! She picked out one in a lifetime activities for us like snorkeling and wildlife adventures. The schedule was perfect, not too packed - enough activities but also some leisure time. We spent time in Melbourne, Port Douglas and Sydney and loved each city for different reasons. Would definitely recommend Aspire for your next big trip to Australia!

Aspire Down Under Did An Amazing Job!!!

We used Aspire Down Under for our trip to Australia! We specifically worked with Shelley, who did an amazing job! She listened to our interests and planned the trip perfectly. She answered all of my questions for the months leading up to the trip. Every single detail was well thought out- all shuttles/car pickups from airports, flights within Australia, tours, etc. She knew exactly which tours were worth doing an upgrade for (for ex, Penguin Plus at Phillips Island was 100% worth it as was the private tour at the Wildlife Center in Port Douglas). We've never used a travel agent before, but now that we have and saw how easy Shelley made it, we'll definitely be coming back to Aspire Down Under for our next vacation. Thanks again Shelley!!!

Trip of a lifetime!

We started planning our trip to Australia back in 2019. We had everything set and paid for...and then Covid shut down the entire country! Working with Sharon Tidbury, our trip was postponed and changed many times but the communication with Sharon was stellar and we were finally able to fly out of Tucson on 10/31/2022! Everything Sharon had planned was perfect! The transportation to and from excursions was great, our accommodations were wonderful and the itinerary was magical. We were able to see everything we had hoped for plus have open days to explore Australia on our own. Sharon and the Aspire Down Under team made our dreams come true! I highly recommend Sharon Tidbury and Aspire Down Under!!

The honeymoon of a lifetime! 10000/10 Recommend

There are no words to express our gratitude for Joanne and Aspire. Joanne planned my husband and I’s 17 day honeymoon to Australia and Fiji and it was beyond a dream. If you’re questioning on whether or not to work with a travel agent, Call Aspire now.

Traveling to the other side of the world, Joanne was able to paint a picture of everything that would be included. We expressed what we wanted to do and she gave us options ensuring to keep all of our must do items like the Great Barrier Reef, see kangaroos/koalas, etc.

We worked with rounds of itineraries as I continued to change my mind and Joanne was patient, professional, informative, and happy to help throughout the entire process. I had an endless amount of questions at each step that were always answered in a timely matter. She jumped on the phone when we needed to chat things through. During our trip when one of our flights was delayed, I was able to reach out to her to confirm that our transportation would wait for us and she answered right away.

Joanne clearly knows these locations inside and out and booked us with the most amazing accommodations with convenient and seamless travel. On our trip, everything was what we had dreamed of and more. Our itinerary was truly perfect and we cannot thank her enough for giving us the vacation of a life time. Thank you Joanna and Aspire!

Trust Aspire Down Under!

I found Aspire Down Under by chance with a Google search, and I'm so glad I did! I first messaged Joanne about to Fiji from New York on January 10. I emailed her at least a dozen times before I was ready to book the trip a month later. She patiently answered my many questions and addressed all of my concerns. I was planning travel for a graduation/birthday celebration and Matangi Private Island Resort, which Joanne recommended, was perfect for me and my 17 year old son. We embarked on our long journey with confidence and enjoyed every moment. Thank you, Joanne and Aspire Down Under for helping us create a once-in-a-lifetime experience! If I were to travel to the South Pacific again, I wouldn't even consider booking with anyone else. Vinaka!

Honeymoon of our dreams!

We worked with Sharon from Aspire to help plan a honeymoon trip to Tahiti/Moorea/Bora Bora - and boy did she deliver. Sharon was an absolute pleasure to work with, and truly tailored an itinerary that met all of our needs. Sharon was highly responsive and ensured we were well prepared for our travels. I could not speak more highly of Aspire and how thankful we are for the honeymoon of our dreams!

My husband and I had an amazing time in…

My husband and I had an amazing time in Iceland. Our experience with Aspire Down Under has been incredible. Sharon was able to plan us a week long trip to Iceland after our original NZ trip kept getting delayed. With every delay or interruption brought on by covid, Sharon was very attentive and detail oriented in giving us the most up to date information possible. She ensured our trip was exactly as we wanted it, and we truly had the best time. From glacier hikes to touring inside of a volcano, our trip to Iceland was breathtaking. We can’t wait to book our next vacation to NZ with this company. They have taken great care of us, and we wouldn’t go to anyone else!
