The reasons I HIGHLY recommend visiting these DownUnder Destinations is the scenery is stunning, the people are lovely and respectful of one another, and it's very safe. I've traveled solo here many times and Inever had any issues so I highly recommend these two to solos travelers.

Europe and Eastern Europe Travel agent

Australia vacation packages

Having Polish immigrant parents I visit there annually with extended stays to all parts of Europe, especially Central Europe and Eastern Europe. I've spent countless months visiting, touring countries such as Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia, Slovenia so as to better know the landscape for my clients. One of the main reasons for using Elated Travel for your next European vacation or cruise is so that you can take advantage of the extensive knowledge that I've acquired by personally visiting the destinations I arrange travel to. (and not Expedia, whose never stepped foot in Europe)

Heartfelt Thanks!

I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for the excellent service you provided once again for my recent trip to Madrid. Your assistance in booking the hotel and arranging the private car pickups from and to the airport made my travel experience incredibly smooth and enjoyable.

The hotel was wonderful and perfectly suited my needs. The private car service was punctual and professional, ensuring that I had a stress-free start and end to my trip. Your attention to detail and dedication to providing exceptional service are greatly appreciated. You have certainly made this trip memorable for all the right reasons.

Thank you once again for everything.

Memorable Australia & New Zealand vacation

Reviewed By Archana Nanda - San Jose, CA | Traveled to Australia ~ Australia & New Zealand

We had an absolutely memorable family vacation in Australia/New Zealand. All the places we went to had their own charm and beauty. Cairns, Queenstown & Franz Josef were the highlights of our trip. We took the heli tour at Franz Josef – it was fantastic. We also took the Queenstown gondola in the evening, did the Luze rides, then the dinner looking down at a Queenstown at night. Great way to wrap up our trip. Thanks a lot for helping us plan this trip – without your help, we simply couldn’t have gone.

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Elizabeth Michalski responded:
Queenstown is my favorite spot in New Zealand as well. I recommend all my clients do the helicopter trip to the Glaciers - it's a wonderful experience!

The Best Travel Agent Ever

Reviewed By Andy - Columbia CT | Traveled to Canada

Elisabeth does an incredible job. My wife and I have some health issues and therefore traveling isn't necessarily straightforward. Elizabeth interviewed us and asked a variety of questions concerning our likes and dislikes but also about our traveling anxieties and issues to avoid. We've used her now a couple of times and her involvement made a good trip into a great trip. There's so much I could say but it would overwhelm this little review comment "box".

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Elizabeth Michalski responded:
It was a pleasure assisting you both with this trip - so glad you both enjoyed it!

Surprise trip for my spouse!

Ms Michalski did an outstanding job scheduling this trip for my husband and I. She took complete control and was able to schedule all aspects of this trip, or guide us through the parts we had to schedule. She was available throughout the process and the trip to answer all our questions.

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Elizabeth Michalski responded:
Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to work on your 'surprise' trip. You did an amazing job keeping this trip a secret from your husband :) So glad you enjoyed yourselves!

Stress-free Travel Arrangements

Reviewed By Aaron R. - Weslaco, Texas | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe

Stress-free travel arrangements!

Destination: Rome and Florence, Italy - 6 nights

This was my very first time traveling abroad and I knew I needed help arranging my travel plans. Elizabeth made the process smooth and stress-free. She's a travel planning wizard. I simply shared what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go and she did the rest. She demonstrated such patience with me by revising travel plans until we came to one that fit just right. I also appreciated that she communicated promptly and clearly to any of my questions or concerns.

I plan on working with Liz again for my next trip. If you know where you'd like to travel to but are unsure how to make it happen, contact Elated Travel, Liz will help you follow through with a plan.

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Elizabeth Michalski responded:
Thank you for your kind words - Italy is every travel agent's dream trip to plan, so very glad you enjoyed it!

Great trip!

Reviewed By Alma - Evanston, IL | Traveled to Poland ~ Europe

Elizabeth planned a great, customized trip for my husband and me to Poland and Belgium. The many moving parts (accommodations, flight, day tours, transportation pick-ups, etc.) all went very smoothly and we were extremely pleased with everything she planned for us. She stayed within our budget and was very responsive to our many questions and any changes we requested. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting assistance with their travel plans.

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Elizabeth Michalski responded:
I love planning independent, multi-day vacations so thank you for choosing Elated Travel to arrange yours. Not many travelers visit Poland so I especially enjoyed arranging your trip to Poland - my parents homeland.

Customer Testimonials

Two wonderful trips to Australia

Since Elizabeth is an expert on Australia/New Zealand Travel, we gave her a few places we wanted to visit and she had an itinerary put together in no time. We traveled to Sydney, Brisbane & Cairns, Australia. The trip went without a hitch. We enjoyed that trip so much we decided to return. Her hotel selections were wonderful throughout the trip. To make the trip easier we spent 2 nights going and returning in Honolulu and Elizabeth set all of that up too. We added Melbourne and spent more time in Brisbane and again everything went perfect. I'm still hoping to go once again so if you're thinking of Australia/New Zealand go when you are young , because you will want to go back. Thanks Elizabeth for making these two trips some of the best I've been fortunate enough to enjoy!
