It's small, local and professional. Especially during Covid it's been a godsend working with Santo who has managed multiple flight changes in quick succession. Always with patience and charm as well as expertise.

We have been with Emma Whiting Travel for the past few years and we travel overseas regularly.

We have found David, Santo and the team offer a professional, supportive and personal customer focused service. This makes our travel so much easier and safer.
Our most recent trip was a long cruise with Oceania and some Europe land travel. Santo's advice and knowledge comes from his experience and years in the travel business and its obvious. Always pleasant and easy to work with, calm and capable. Our flights are booked thoughtfully with good lay-over times and sound recommendations.

We were in Israel when the war broke out October 7 and it was good to know Emma Whiting 'had our backs' should we need their help. Susan and John

Santo took me on quite late to organise domestic flights, accommodation and some tours to the USA. He was so easy and pleasant to deal with. Not only that he was able to use his own personal experiences from his own holidays to make recommendations for me. I had a most incredible holiday and have already started to make plans to visit the states again. I would highly recommend Santo and his team to anyone travelling who doesn't have the time or knowledge to plan their own trip.

I have used Emma Whiting Travel before and was more than happy to return. My recent trip to Italy was well planned - thanks Santo - and my dealings with Ormina once in Italy were very good.

Our trip to Canada was perfectly planned. Everything ran smoothly with no issues. Santo made great suggestions and gave us excellent advice. We had a fabulous holiday.

We have had holidays organised before, and there were always 1 or 2 issues, but with Santo at Emma Whiting Travel, our third trip to Italy was perfect in every way.
He doesn't miss a thing, listens to what we wanted and plans everything accordingly. Gives us fantastic and honest advice, Super organised and one hell of a superplanner. Thanks Santo, can't wait for you to organise our next trip?
Love Michael and Jina Tripodi xx

My family and I have been guided by Emma Whiting Travel for the past fifteen years. Their care and attention to detail are outstanding. David and Santo have become more than simply travel advisers: they are genuine friends and will go out of their way to ensure smooth arrangements, seamless connections and excellent selection of travel modes and accommodation. These people know the destinations to which they send us. Much comfort is also derived from the knowledge that should problems arise overseas, staff will be available at all times to provide immediate assistance. I have no hesitation in recommending Emma Whiting Travel to prospective voyagers near and far and for both novice and experienced travellers.

Santo was amazing organizing our trip to Hawaii in January.
Flights, accommodation, tours and car hire were all part of our itinerary. Santo offered to liaise with the north shore huts that I had sourced on the internet which was not part of the travel agents bookings.
Santo or one of the team was available whenever we needed assistance prior to departure and whilst overseas
I would recommend Santo and his team for all your travel needs.
Wonderful Job Santo. Thank you

Santo was absolutely wonderful, helped me all the way to get to Chile to see my family!!! I will recommend him 100%

Once the borders opened, we got in touch with KellI Fisher from Emma Whiting Travel who organised our itinerary for our family to travel overseas.
She considered all our requests, helped us with travel insurance in these unprecedented times and stayed in touch once we were there to give us an update of the latest travel forms that we had to consider coming back to Australia.
We definitely book through Kelli and the Emma Whiting Travel team again!

Santo, another job well done :)
Your pre and post itineraries for our Great Southern Rail trip were fantastic. Looking forward to working with you on our next holiday.

I found Emma Whiting gave an excellent service finding flights to and from the UK during covid restrictions.

19 Nov 2021

In the midst of the pandemic, Kelli and her team at Emma Whiting, managed to secure me flights return AU/DK for work and to see family. Firmly navigating chaos of restrictions and changes in these as Australia was on the verge of opening up. Through the entire journey and preparation, the team was only a call away and prepped me with all required permits for the specific airline and destination. Wouldn't have made it there without their efforts.

My husband and I feel grateful to Emma Whiting travel as the staff have been so helpful during recent lockdown cancelled flights.
We would be stuck in Qld still if we had been relying on our capacity to make our way back to Victoria through the online system .
David checked in everyday with us around the latest restrictions.
We felt well held and our situation monitored daily
We have used this travel agency for over fifteen years and have been extremely satisfied with the personal care and attention to our needs on both past international flights and within Australia.
We highly recommend their services and have done to our friends and family who have also utilised their knowledge and expertise in the travel industry.
Supporting travel agents at this time is important . Feels good to be supporting travel agents at this challenging time

Looking forward to booking a European cruise for next year. Been using EWT services since they opened. Always fantastic service from the team. Santo looks after us & does a great job.

We have been clients of Emma Whiting for around 5 years - and we should have use them sooner! We never have to worry about anything at all. Emma Whiting's Travel Designers have never let us down. Even between lockdowns they were able to book us a regional 'dog friendly' holiday - how good is that! Their choice of destination and accommodation is always spot-on! Thanks team.

Ruth helped me organise a trip to the NT after NSW border shut, She planned the best itinery and organised hotels as well as a list of things to do and places to eat within a few days - The process was honestly so easy and I cannot reccomend this agency high enough. Our trip was sensational, I usually book holidays myself but after seeing how Ruth brought everything together I dont think ill ever plan a holiday myself again !

Emma and her staff have organised some amazing overseas trips for us over the years. Anything we came up with they were able to accommodate and plans went smoothly. Last year they spent many hours organising refunds for us and we are very grateful. This year Ruth(and David) organised our Queensland holiday. Once again they were able to help us with changes to booking, flights etc. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We have also appreciated the phone calls to thanks us for our patronage. We highly recommend Emma Whiting Travel!

Karla @ EWT organised our recent trip to the NT including Darwin and the Red Centre. She took care of all aspects asked of her from airfares, to accommodation, care hire, tours and insurance. Every aspect was carefully considered and Karla went well above and beyond in helping to make our trip so wonderful. Nothing was ever too much trouble and any changes made by us during the initial organizing were happily accommodated. With a last minute flight change during our trip (Covid related changes) Karla was still able to reschedule flights, accommodation and care hire - she was outstanding.
Karla organized a trip for us to Italy and Spain in 2015 and her attention to detail in that experience was amazing.
Karla is very client orientated and has a wealth of knowledge and experience on Australian and overseas travel. We highly recommend Karla and EWT!

I have known Ruth at Emma Whiting Travel for over 15 years. I am an avid traveler and we have been lucky enough to travel frequently with our 3 teenage/adult children annually. Ruth is nothing but professional, efficient, organised and knowledgeable. I am a perfectionist and she never fails to live up to my expectations, always with class, patience and an ever ready willingness to help me in any way she can. During Covid Ruth has been a godsend. Prior to Covid, we have had many conversations in the planning of and organising of our many overseas holidays. Ruth and Emma Whiting Travel are a must when booking a holiday)!!

05 Aug 2021

Our dealings with Ruth (and David) have always been great. Ruth is friendly, capable and always goes that extra mile.
I highly recommend Emma Whiting Travel for anyone wanting a rewarding travel experience.

Emma Whiting Travel have a very creative team. We have been with them for over 6 years. David and Ruth have been fantastic in carterng for our specific needs. During the early Covid-19 chaos, with a criuise and personal trip planned from Singapore to Japan, Ruth supported us throughout,
successfully negotiating refunds and credit beautifully. We look forward hopefully to a Cruise in early 2022.

04 Aug 2021

We got Ruth from Emma Whiting travel to book our holidays for the past 8years - first, just for us as a couple and now for our family of four. She is always quick to respond and helps us to find the best deals that meet our needs. She works closely with the team and together they found our next holiday to Queensland. Fingers crossed, it will happen and if not, EWT made sure that we have booked the best flights, accommodation and insurance with cancellation policies that are customer friendly.

Approximate cost: $5000

Very good flight s and scheduled designs. And vey good service too.

We have been with Emma whiting travel since it opened, more than 20 years ago, they are travel miracle workers!
David and Ruth are exceptional and have recently organised flights home for young Australian friends and family from the US, Israel and the UK at economy and premium economy prices which friends were told was impossible. When we were in France on holiday and had to come back within 24 hours for 24 hours due to a death in the family David immediately arranged the best flights for which we were and are forever grateful. Nothing is too much trouble. David, Ruth and all the staff at Emma Whiting Travel love a challenge, they have a great proactive team team and go above and beyond all expectations to get the best outcome for their clients. I recommend them to all my friends and colleagues, they are the best in the travel industry for domestic and international travel.

Our family have been clients of Emma Whiting Travel for over 20 years.
During that time we have used their expertise to take many holidays internationally and domestically.
We have always received the most comprehensive advice, service and support with flights, accommodation bookings and excursions.
Occasionally adjustments were made successfully to itineries via email messages from distant locations.
The knowledge that our bookings were always secure allowed us to enjoy our travel experience with no anxiety.
Their recommendations have enhanced our travel experiences immensely.
For a safe, enjoyable and trouble free holiday we strongly recommend EMT.

Extraordinary service from extraordinary people who are one hundred percent client focused.
Thank you Kelli and David for once again going the extra mile

David and Kelli were fantastic - they got me back to Australia from the UK in Jan 2021 on economy tickets!!
David stayed up to the early hours of the morning to ensure he was available should anything go wrong - 5 star service.
Thank you! Josh and Alice

I have been using Emma Whiting now for many years.
They provide a customized service which is better than any other agent I have used.
All the consultants I deal with are well informed , industrious and helpful.
Whenever I have experienced trouble with travel arrangements overseas they have leapt into action to solve the issue.
I would recommend them highly.
