I’ve just enjoyed a wonderful week’s holiday in Pt Stephens with Group Link Travel thanks to Belinda’s great organisation and attention to detail ensuring that everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable trip. The accommodation was excellent, the meals delicious and the activities were fun and interesting.

I've been on four trips with Belinda and Group Link Travel. I accompanied my mum on all of the trips and we had a wonderful time on each. Belinda's attention to detail and planning was first rate. Our trip to Norfolk Island coincided with the Bounty Day celebrations. The activities Belinda organised for us gave us insight into life on the island and we learned a lot about its history. It's a beautiful destination and it was amazing to see so many Norfolk Pines. Our next trip was to the Great Australian Bight and was jam packed with highlights and fresh seafood. We saw many, many whales and their calves from a tour boat and from land. We explored the Nullabor and experience its vastness, in daylight and at a dinner under the stars. The cliffs of the bight were magnificent. We went on a 19-day trip to Japan and experienced authentic Japanese life: tea ceremonies, kimono wearing, traditional hotels, lots of food and my favourite activity was indigo dyeing a silk scarf. New Zealand was an amazing trip and took us to the north and south islands. The scenery was spectacular. We flew in a helicopter over glaciers and landed at the top.

Thank you Belinda for organising such a wonderful travel experience of Japan. You attention to detail is fantastic, you took all the worry of traveling overseas of us, so we could just enjoy the sights and experiences of Japan. We will defiantely be booking more trips with you.

Just returned home after a fabulous tour of Japan with Belinda. We were a small group that enjoyed the very specialised and personal service that was well worth the cost of the tour. We enjoyed so many high end meals and very comfortable hotels located close to everything we needed. I thoroughly enjoyed our many cultural experiences. Was so thankful our many bullet train journeys were all ticketed and organised by Belinda as well as our private sightseeing buses with lovely guides. My only complaint was our tour wasn't long enough. My personal opinion is you really need to spend 14 days in Japan. We visited most of the best attractions in the time that we had. Just a few of my many highlights (there was so many) were our visits to Himeji-jo Castle,  The Golden Temple,  Hiroshima and Mt Fuji. Overall an awesome tour with something special to do and see every day. This was not my first tour with Belinda and each and every one has been a wonderful experience. Looking forward to my next one in the very near future.

Fabulous trip to Port Stephens. Whale watching trip on a boat during the northern migration was the highlight. We saw spouts, whales breeching, fin flapping & heard numerous soundings. The day at the Hunter Valley Gardens was enjoyable & 4WD along Stockton beach to Tin City was great fun. Belinda is a great Tour Leader. Barbara

My husband and I have done several trips with Group Link Travel, the most recent a month ago when we toured Sydney and the Blue Mountains. As has been the case on every trip, Belinda's organisation was exceptional. The days were packed with fun and interesting activities, but also some time within the tour to do our own thing. This was much appreciated, as sometimes some down time when you are on tour is important. Comfortable accommodation throughout in great locations meant we were able to walk to some venues/activities which was great after a day of travel. Thanks Belinda, you have a way of finding the very best activities in each place we visit, and your 'surprise day' of a winery visit was so much fun. We very much look forward to our next trip with Group Link Travel.

Wow, an amazing 5 days in Melbourne for the International Flower Show organised by Belinda. Our group of  21 Tasmanians enjoyed the beautiful Bolobek & Alowyn Gardens with a relaxing afternoon of wine testing at Yering Farm. The International flower show and of course time for retail therapy, catching up with family and friends for some. Our final day with a guided tour of Como House. The accommodation, meals and organisation, top class as with all of Belinda's tours. I've taken many of Belinda's tours over the years and never found fault. Belinda's expertise & organising skills are second to none and Group Link will always be my choice . Thank you for a great week. Joyann

The trip to the Great Australian Bight was full of memorable experiences and Belinda was a friendly organised guide which made everything run smoothly. The dinner under the stars and the oyster shucking at Coffin Bay were fabulous. Another wonderful trip with Belinda. David
