Fantastic experience: Liz was very good finding my flights and coordinating the return flight with my families flight. Ticketing was a bit tricky and took a long time to sort out. I appreciate the time Liz and her colleague spent on my booking. Her patience, professionalism and focus to get it done. I recommend House of Travel to anyone who needs help with travel.

Fantastic experience: Kylie responded nicely to my desire not to have to get to Airports too early for departure and came up with excellent flights.. Kylie also sorted my wish for an apartment rather than a hotel room, great spot and an easy walk (past good coffee and pastries) to my sons apartment.. Kylie was lovely to deal with..

Fantastic experience: Amanda really knows how to provide that person touch. It can be years between visits yet she remembers our names and most details needed to help us with our travel plans. She quickly understands what we’re looking for and asks clarifying questions when they are needed. Above all we trust she will come up with the best way to meet the travel needs of everyone in our group

Jeanette Dungan 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Amanda used her expertise to enable me to rendezvous with my family for Christmas and New Year in Sri Lanka. My family were late to settle on dates, which made it more challenging for Amanda to deal with my needs. Despite my only needing flights, since all other aspects of the trip were being organised by my family who are making the trip from Tokyo, Amanda treated my request with just as much attention as if I was booking the whole deal with accommodation, activities, etc. I really appreciated that. She worked within my preferences for date, distance and cost.

Larry Ching 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome service. Recently, along with my family, I travelled to Vietnam and Singapore for two weeks. I discussed the initial plan with Sally, and then with a bit of input from me, she organised the entire trip in conjuction with Adventure World. The trip was faultless. Not only did we have a fantastic time, the flights, pickups, tours, and other activiites that we added ouselves were amazing. Sally provided excellent advice and was responsive to any additional suggestions I had when the trip was being planned. Everything was taken care of in a very efficient and professional manner. My thanks to Sally and the team at House of Travel, Richmond. I'll be back when I plan my next trip!!

Alec Furlong-Taylor 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Booked back in 2019 and with help from Amanda, Kylie and Sarah over the last three years, we finally have completed our ‘Grand Adventure Circle’ journey with Rocky Mountaineer. All three agents were very professional, knowledgeable and patient in putting the trip together, with all the challenges COVID brought. I would whole heartedly recommend the Richmond team to anyone planning a holiday.

Negative experience: I’ve stepped into their shop and I was greeted in a really poor manner and told that they were too busy and could only come back to me in a week’s time. I said that was ok, provided my details and the plans for my trip. It’s been a month, and never heard back from them. Really poor customer service. :(

David Ford 2 years ago

Positive experience: I have used House of Travel for several overseas trips now have found them very helpful.

Kylie Davies 3 years ago

Negative experience: I went in to plan a surprise trip for a family member. There was one staff member working and she had two people in front of me, which was fine, I didn’t mind waiting. Instead of being greeted nicely with a hello I was greeted with her telling me she is very busy, I’d have to wait and she kept saying she’s the only one there today. Once I got to my turn which really wasn’t that much of a wait, she took my details of what I was wanting and said she’d make contact with me that week. She had email, phone etc. never heard a thing from her or anyone from the store. She seemed too busy for me and I really didn’t feel like she cared about my trip at all. A real shame! I have since booked an amazing trip with an incredible lady from flight centre and planning a second with her too. I wouldn’t use this store. Not enough staff and things are not followed up on!

Negative experience: Would not recommend going to this house of travel needed to get a refund for a flight booked from my late grandmother that passed away before she could use the ticket took months to finally get a refund throughout the whole process the lady's were extremely rude absolute disgusting behavior towards family that have just lost a loved I believe these lady's Sally and amanda should be fired I feel sorry for anyone that deals with these cold hearted women absolutely disrespectful behavior highly recommend not going to house of travel Richmond

Negative experience: We made some travel enquiries and when we entered the shop the lady was just putting her mask on. We have been made very uncomfortable by that lady who served us as we were asked why we do not wear a mask. I said that we are exempt. She handed us her card to make our enquire online instead. She said that we were disrespectful towards the others as we are not wearing a mask to protect them. We run a retail shop ourselves and we always treat our customers respectfully with or without a mask, we are not responsible for their health protection, we all have choices and we never want to be discriminate our customers. We will never ever book a flight there again as we have done in the past, no one wants to be treated like that. Kind Regards Andy and Lisa

Negative experience: Beware of excessive hidden commission fees. On top of the normal commission fees we were already aware of we found that House of Travel took $900 for booking our family’s cancelled 2020 cruise. So our “100% refund” written in our contract is bogus. I spoke with Amanda on the phone who was very patronising, so much so that I asked her to stop and had to wrap up the conversation. Long story short they have the right to keep that fee and so they will, tough luck. My advice would be to book your cruise directly with the cruise line, or ask house of travel to be upfront with their fees. My mistake. I would not use them again.
