Academy Travel

  • Feb 2014 - Apr 2019

  www.academytravel.com.au Academy Travel is an Australian-owned travel company, dedicated to providing tailored small group journeys for individuals and associations. No special qualifications are required to participate in our program - just a love of travel and desire to see and understand more than the average tourist. Academy Travel's journeys appeal to those who want more out of their travels than a checklist of sites. They want to understand and appreciate the places they visit in some depth. Our clients feel that the tour leader's expertise and the attention that Academy Travel gives to itinerary planning, selecting accommodation, working with local experts and including special events greatly enriches their travel. Academy Travel's clients look for the kind of responsive, intelligent and professional service that comes in dealing with a company that has decades of experience and is dedicated to providing an experience that goes well beyond the ordinary. Travellers choose to book on our tours because they know our tour leaders from their public lecturing or from a previous tour and trust them to add depth and meaning to their journey, because they want to be sure that their travel will be well planned and because they want to be well looked after when they travel. Very often Academy Travellers are also regular independent travellers, but have chosen to join the group because of the special features of the itinerary or the expertise group leader. For an Academy Traveller, the idea of sharing their journey with a like-minded small group is something that enhances the journey, not something to be feared!
