Boasting a remarkable 27 years of expertise in the ever-evolving travel industry, Samantha Reynolds’ unwavering passion for customer service and creating indelible travel memories sets her apart.
Samantha’s passion for travel is something she loves to share with her daughter, and she cherishes every moment of their adventures. From their very first overseas adventure when her daughter was just nine months old to a multitude of journeys through diverse cultures, she has honed her skills in crafting family-friendly itineraries that spark wonder and delight in travellers of all ages.
Samantha’s knowledge spans a vast array of holiday styles and destinations, but her heart lies in curating tailor-made family vacations.
“I firmly believe every family should have the opportunity to explore the world together. It thrills me seeing my daughter’s face light up when she experiences a new destination or a new culture. It is that feeling I want my clients to experience when I create their family itineraries,” says Samantha.
Beyond her passion for family travel, Samantha boasts unique skills honed during her significant involvement in organising group travel during the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.
“I have a deep understanding of group dynamics and how meticulous planning guarantees seamless and unforgettable group travel experiences,’ she says.
Always eager to explore new destinations and uncover hidden gems, Samantha ensures every client receives unparalleled service and one-of-a-kind travel itineraries that have been meticulously curated to their individual preferences and interests.
With infectious enthusiasm and boundless energy, she makes the planning process itself an adventure, ensuring a personalised and gratifying travel experience for all.
“My clients know they are going to have a lot of fun planning their holidays with me, and that's even before they get on the plane,” she says.

Get to know me
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
I had some clients celebrating a special occasion in Africa, so I tailored a private safari experience for them at an exclusive lodge in the Serengeti, with champagne waiting for them on arrival. The cherry on top was a private dinner under the stars, with a Maasai warrior storytelling experience.
What is your number one travel tip?
Maximise the experience any way you can: wake up early to beat the crowds, connect with locals and ask for recommendations to discover hidden gems, be open to spontaneity, and take photos so you can relive the memories later.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
River cruising within Europe is my favourite holiday and destination. It is such a beautiful way to experience multiple destinations without having to pack and unpack each day. Because of the close proximity to the shore, there is always something exciting to see.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
Most importantly, I listen to and understand my client's needs. I customise my approach to suit each individual client, and I always keep my clients informed about the progress of their holiday and any changes that may have occurred.
