Fantastic experience: My husband and I recently had the pleasure of joining Chris Watson Travel at their annual CMC Rocks Trip and it was nothing short of spectacular! Right from the get-go, the communication was top-notch. They handled everything from airport transfers to patiently answering our questions, no matter how trivial they seemed. Their attention to detail ensured a smooth and stress-free experience from start to finish. However what truly set this experience apart was the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere they created. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family. The camaraderie, laughter, and shared experiences made for an unforgettable weekend. A huge thank you to Chris, Mel, Nicole, Karen, and Daniel for their hospitality and dedication to making our weekend absolutely amazing! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable, stress free and well-organised experience. We'll definitely be back for more in 2025!

Chris Watson Travel

Hi Kim, thank you for your amazing review and your support of our business. We are glad we exceeded your expectations and helped create a memory for you. Thank you for your company and being on 2025

Fantastic experience: We didn't give her a whole lot of time, leaving our choice to spend a few extra days in the Hunter Valley after our wedding til the last minute. Nonetheless, Nicole managed to source us a most wonderful time away. Somehow scoring us a great deal with a resort, wine and cheese pairing, and day long wine tour in the region for a wholly affordable price. Her positive and enthusiatic demeaner made her a brilliant person to work with. 10 out of 10, will be going with Chris Watson Travel again for our future getaways.

Chris Watson Travel

Thank you for the great feedback! Nicole is a great agent and we are lucky to have her… we hope you had a great wedding and honeymoon. Thank you for supporting our family business and we can’t wait to create more memories for you

Fantastic experience: Over the years I have enjoyed several trips with Chris Watson of Chris Watson Travel. My holiday experiences with Chris have been exceptional. I have been on many holidays prior to meeting Chris in 2007. None of them have compared to what Chris offers. Chris and his team, including his wife Gemma are friendly and delightful. They all go beyond their roles to assist with anything extra you need to know. My advice to anyone is if you are looking for an amazing Travel Agent, don't wast you time and look any further than Chris......

Chris Watson Travel

Thank you Janene for your continued support of our small family business and encouragement! I am looking forward to catching up with you in 2 weeks on the cruise!

Paula Alan 2 years ago

Negative experience: No communication. Would not send itinerary until after full payment made. Booked on wrong dates leaving and returning and said payment made meant everything was agreed to (when we hadnt seen the itinerary). Booked on Jetstar (wrong dates) but itinerary stated we were booked on Qantas leaving 8 hours later. Jetstar booking confirmed by me phoning Jetstar. Charged ADDITIONAL $800 to change itinerary to read Jetstar. Trip cancelled due to agent incompetence and we are seeking legal action. Run a mile from this mob unless you want your holiday ruined.

Chris Watson Travel

Hi Paula,Thank you for your comment however... The dates booked were as per your original e-mail. We still have the reply from you saying I am happy to go ahead with the booking. An invoice and itinerary was sent 7 times to you with no reply - as you mentioned to one of our staff it went to your junk box. Numerous voicemails were left with you and none returned to our office.You were charged the additional amount as you decided to change the flight times and dates - this was a change fee as imposed by the airline.We are sorry you are unhappy with the service and that you cancelled your holiday (Due to sickness you told us) So we hope you had a speedy recovery and feel better soon. We hope the next time you travel you are able to find an agent that you are happy with and sorry we couldn't tick that box for you but we could only act on what you had asked.RegardsChris

Fantastic experience: Lake Eyre and Outback Australia was such an incredible trip. I have been waiting for over 12months due to Covid but the time finally arrived for us to step onboard the light plane with Chris from Chris Watson Travel, there to see us off with a little gift pack. Ben and Joris from Airspeed Aviation were so wonderful, very helpful throughout the trip, showing us flight paths, and telling us where we were heading and what we would see on that section of the flight. All meals were provided and were exceptional, you had a choice from the menu not just a set meal. The accomodation was wonderful, Rawnsley Park Station set in the middle of Flinders Ranges, was so peaceful. I was very impressed with everything and will definitely be travelling with both of these companies again in the future. It is worth the extra $ for the intimate personal service you receive. To see so much of this incredible country in 3 days 2 nights was an experience I will remember for a long long time and definitely recommend you try it. Sheryl H

Fantastic experience: It goes without question, that Chris has an incredibly dedicated/ passionate team. His attention to detail in his holiday folder, along with a simple thankyou is a further indication of a Business putting forward their Best. Mudgee was a Fantastic experience, that'll hopefully await our Next encounter. I look forward to dealing with Chris and His Team for future events, with full knowledge that I'll be leaning into an event that is supported by trust, and clearly a Great experience.
