Down Under Endeavours Inc.

Where do I start… 7 months before our wedding when I found Down Under Endeavors to book our honeymoon I thought we were in wonderful, friendly, capable, experienced hands. We took out all the stops so we could have a once in a life time trip to celebrate the next chapter of our lives. We spent time selecting the perfect honeymoon with our agent and thought everything was booked and ready. One month before our wedding I emailed our agent to add a honeymoon package to a portion of our trip and received a voice mail within the hour that I must be confused as the dates were not matching the dates she had. I immediately checked our contract and everything looked fine to me, that’s when the nightmare began. One month before our trip in the middle of a very chaotic time our honeymoon that was the price of a car turned out to be not only on the wrong dates but the completely opposite honeymoon we had so carefully chosen and agreed upon in our contract. The trip was great but getting there was a nightmare and we ran into further hiccups on the trip. Would I recommend a travel agent, ABSOLUTELY but NOT DOWN UNDER ENDEAVORS. Find someone else. There were way too many tears shed over this honeymoon that should have been stress free.

My friend and I were looking to plan a trip to Australia and this was the first travel agent that we came across. They were quick to put together an itinerary for us and get us a package price, then things sort of fell apart. To make sure we were getting a good deal we looked at the hotel, flight, and tours and then priced it all out as if we were doing it ourselves. Our price was several thousand less than what Down Under Endeavors quoted is. When we tried to dig into the pricing with them and maybe change a tour or hotel stay, they were able to get us a package deal price, but never able to really explain what part of it kept the prices so hi. In the end we went with another travel agent that cost us significantly less and got us into better hotels.

My experience with Down Under Endeavors goes back 5 years ago but I wanted to give credit where credit is due. My wife & I enjoyed an incredibly relaxing honeymoon as a result of the efforts of these fine people.
I have to admit I was a bit of a pain in the ass, constantly changing the details or requesting another quote but they hung in there. It probably took me a month to get the honeymoon booked but that was entirely my fault. I wouldn’t have been suprised if they had told me to go pound sand as I had to have been trying their patience.
Thanks again… we had a wonderful honeymoon & terrific memories that will last a lifetime.
