“Very helpful and friendly service”
Very helpful. Jay was able to secure a late booking to India checking flights and hotels and the ground team could accommodate us all. Kept us informed of the progress too. As there is a lot of travelling with this company to the India golden triangle we liked that not just coach travel but internal flight and a train was also included as well as the coach travel.

“A very professional company.”
Easy and straightforward to book. Vicky and Adam were both professional and friendly and very informative. Thank you for making it easy.
“Excellent Service As Usual”
My telephone call was answered promptly by Joe and he was very helpful and personable. The booking was made without any difficulty, Joe could not have been more helpful. My thanks to him and the Distant Journeys team who have looked after us so well on several trips now.
“Excellent service from Distant Journeys Australia”
I have not dealt with the UK OFFICE. I have been dealing with Distant Journeys Australia. The service I have had from Riah has been absolutely wonderful. A real pleasure to deal with her.
“Sri Lanka booking”
Adam made the booking process very straightforward and he answered all our questions in a pleasant and professional manner. We enjoyed talking about all aspects of the trip with him and at no time did he make us feel rushed or that we weren’t his main priority.
At Distant Journeys, we only deal in the extraordinary
Just like life, journeys aren't measured in miles or destinations, but in the stories you gather, the friendships you form, and the memories and connections that stay with you forever.
That's why we always strive to go far beyond a holiday. We craft meaningful experiences that change perspectives and open hearts and minds. Then we deliver them with a dedication and attention to detail that you simply won't find elsewhere.
Whether you're realising a life-long dream, celebrating a milestone or simply escaping the everyday, we aim to take you far beyond your expectations of what travel can offer.
Every friendly face, every good night's sleep, every step... matters. It all adds up to create journeys that are truly out of the ordinary.
