Discover how AVG Travels is redefining global travel with expertly crafted journeys and great value.
In an era when travel is both a luxury and a necessity, finding the balance between exploring the world and sticking to a budget can be a challenge. But for savvy travellers, AVG Travels offers the ideal solution. Since it was founded in 2015, the Melbourne-based travel agency has redefined how Australians experience the world, combining global expertise with local prices to deliver exceptional travel experiences.
A new era of travel: Accessible, affordable, and expertly curated
AVG Travels is more than just a travel agency. It’s a company that places a premium on local expertise, attention to detail, and making travel accessible for every budget. The company started with a clear mission: to create exceptional travel experiences that blend exploration with relaxation, while keeping prices competitive.
AVG Travels initially focused on crafting bespoke itineraries that allowed Australians to experience diverse regions such as Asia, Europe, and Africa. Over the years, its reach has expanded, with recent forays into New Zealand and the United States, making it easier than ever for customers to access a range of global destinations. Whether it’s a week-long beach retreat in Thailand, an African safari that takes you up close to the wildlife, or a European city-hopping adventure, AVG Travels provides a carefully curated travel experience that speaks to every type of traveller.
The key to AVG Travels’ success lies in its ability to provide highly personalised itineraries without the high-end price tags that typically accompany expert-curated journeys.
David Dao, the visionary CEO of AVG Travels, says the company’s continued success is rooted in its commitment to providing excellent value without compromising quality. “We believe that travel should be accessible to everyone. It’s not just about the destination, but the experience, the memories, and the stories you bring home. Our goal is to make that possible without the hefty price tag,” Dao explains.
Local knowledge, global reach: Your destination experts
One of the standout features of AVG Travels is its network of destination experts. These specialists use their deep local knowledge to craft itineraries that show the true essence of each place. This isn’t just about ticking off landmarks; it’s about understanding the culture, history, and hidden gems that make each destination unique. From authentic cultural experiences in Italy and sun-drenched beach holidays in Bali, to a trek through Africa’s game reserves, AVG Travels ensures immersive journeys every time.
By working closely with trusted local suppliers and guides, AVG Travels ensures its customers get access to the best experiences at unbeatable prices. No detail is too small and no corner of a destination is overlooked. This approach means that travellers can experience far more than just the typical tourist hotspots – they gain a deeper, more enriching understanding of the places they visit, all while staying within budget.
Affordable flexibility: Travel without the stress
For many Australians, flexibility is a crucial part of their travel planning. AVG Travels understands this and has introduced features that give customers peace of mind. One such feature is the option for easy pay instalments. This allows travellers to secure their trip without worrying about paying in full upfront. By spreading the cost over time, you can book the holiday of your dreams today and pay at your own pace, without compromising your financial security.
In addition to flexible payment plans, there is also a seven-day change of mind policy. This is an essential safeguard for anyone planning a trip in uncertain times. Whether you need to adjust your travel dates, switch destinations, or make other changes, AVG Travels gives you the peace of mind to plan with confidence and a stress-free booking experience.
