Great service at Modbury Office
We have dealt with Kerri Hanisch at PHT Modbury and previously at Norwood and Stirling for 10 years and many cruises. Her attention to detail leaves us with no doubt our trip will all go according to plan. She is always very happy and willing to help if we need to make any changes.
Kerri is now looking out for another cruise for us in 2021/2022.
The ratings we have given are all related to the service Kerri provides.

Would not travel with any other company
We have used Phil Hoffman travel agency for many yrs and are confident each time that our travel plans composed by the wonderful Kerri from the Modbury branch are fined tuned to the last detail. Kerri has also been fantastic re sourcing options or places to visit and potential costs involved when we are still musing over where to travel next. Kerri knows our expectations and provides us with the best service possible so that we travel confidently each trip that we take. We were once persuaded by family to use another travel provider with devastating results so never again!!! Phil Hoffman travel and Kerri ensure that all our travel plans go according to plan from the start of our booking till the return journey.

Great Service, Great Holiday!
Talked through what we had read and seen in booklets and brochures and what we wanted from our Africa holiday with our consultant Mark.
He threw a few ideas at us and made some suggestions about different accommodation options and other ideas (no pressure).
My wife and I agreed with what we wanted and Mark went about booking it, he kept us in the loop whenever there were changes or issues and he sorted them out.
We booked a two and a half week tour of Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, visiting 6 different parks and the Victoria Falls. And we incl...Read more

While PHT aims to deliver a great experience, at times not all goes to plan. In this instance I'm pleased that we were able to remedy both situations (flight re-booked, and refund issued) for you.

I apologise, again, for the service issues you encountered. Kind Regards, Alison Hunt Head of People and Culture (HR and Customer Service)Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

We just got back from an amazing trip to Egypt. After we booked our trip we moved to another state for work and thought we would miss out but Belinda went out of her way to ensure that we were able to meet up with our group without any hassles. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and look forward to working with Belinda on our bucket list :)

Hopeless, we went to get a european cruise and land package deal last week for our very first european trip in august 2020, we gave the Travel agent our itinerary details, she says we will give us a quote the same day by email or by phone. 5 days later still haven't heard from phil hoffman travel. and still waiting.

Amazing experience
Just returned from our first major overseas adventure, visiting numerous cities. We worked out which places we wanted to visit and then took our ideas to PHT at Semaphore. They were able to match prices for accommodation that we found ourselves on booking sites without any fuss. Our consultant, Simone, was brilliant. Organised everything beautifully and explained everything in detail. We were handed a pack which contained all our accommodation, rail passes and air travel confirmations together with insurance. Amazing service. Linda, another consultant, we saw briefly when Simone was on leave, and she was also very helpful. Have recommended PHT to friends and they will be our 'go to' travel consultants in the future.

Worst nightmare ever
Booked a cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest which would have been great for an able bodied person but my wife is disabled and we were assured by our travel agent (friend) there was a lift as my wife has big problems with stairs and also there would be plenty of help as they are used to disabled people, there was none of either, in fact the cruise director said if they had known how bad my wife was they would have refused us. Also we were not told there would be a lot of climbing over other ships to get off which is impossible for my wife hence m...Read more
ost of our time was spent on board as my wife couldn't get off, missing out on a lot we wanted to see. To sum it up, the biggest waste of money ever and an absolute nightmare.

2019 Euro River Cruise with extension to Prague, Budapest, Paris & London
The trip delivered on all of its promise - the organisation of flights, cruise and extension along with additional tours was all handled seamlessly and timely. The addition of having our own PHT Tour escort (in addition to the APT Tour director) was a bonus enjoyed by our small group that ensured there were no hiccups and everything ran smoothly and on time.

Information on the itinerary should be specific and not general
We booked our flights, a couple of Back Roads Tours and car hire with Phil Hoffmann. We made our own arrangements for accommodation apart from the Back Roads Tours. The booking process ran smoothly.
Our problems were that the Itinerary supplied by Phil Hoffmann was general rather than specific. Firstly, it gave the general luggage allowance information for Emirates and not the specific luggage allowance relevant to our travel, nor did the itinerary specify the class of our ticket, so we could decode the general information. This was a minor...Read more

Far East Holiday for 44 days
We wanted to take an extended holiday to visit China Taiwan Japan and Hong Kong, so we approached our wonderfull friend Mel at PHT. She had previously organised a number of very complicated holidays for us in prior years. They all went like clockwork and we never had cause for complaint even though some of the logistics were not straight forward.
This holiday was no different and again it was faultless. We were able to enjoy our holiday without worrying about connections and transfers. In addition Mel had organised our seating for some 7 flights, which really made things so easy at some very chaotic airports like Beijing, Shanghai.
We done to Mel and Cheryl we are very grateful for your hard work.

How long does it take to process a refund on a Princess Cruise Cancelled Booking
2 answers
As I’m not employed by pht I can’t help you on that one
Alison H.Phil Hoffmann Travel
Dear Garry,
Apologies for not having acknowledged your question earlier.
In ordinary times refunds can take 6 to 8 weeks to be processed by suppliers. Unfortunately we are experiencing extraordinary times, consequently we anticipate that refunds may now take 12 or more weeks to be processed.
We understand that this may cause some frustration to our clients but ask that everyone is patient and understanding during a time unlike any we have seen before.
All the best to you and those near and dear to you during these unsettling times.
