The founders of TQ tours Lisa Vogt and Paul Blampied have worked for over 5 years in the Australian tourism industry.
Lisa was born in Germany, and studied tourism/leisure science in Bremen. Paul was born in Melbourne and has managed various hostels, hotels and restaurants for several years throughout different Australian locations.
Through our acclaimed work for Germany's most successful youth travel company (travel for under 18 yrs old students) "RUF youth travel" we have gained much experience in dealing predominantly towards the youth and young traveller groups.
The headquarters of TQ tours and our home is located in Agnes Water – Town of 1770 a coastal town at the southernmost end of the Great Barrier Reef. The region is stunningly beautiful and is often called "the new secret tip of the East Coast". With its lonely endless beaches, crystal clear bathing bays and proximity to the Great Barrier Reef, the area is a popular holiday destination for many Australians. Backpackers from all over the world have visited the Town of 1770 for the last 8 years, declaring it Australia’s best kept secret.
From a scheduled two days stay visitors often end up staying several weeks! Despite the increasing number of visitors, the Town of 1770 is not overloaded with tourists. With its natural beauty, abundant wildlife, the varied beach orientated activities, the friendly locals and their relaxed lifestyle, the place embodies a tropical, peaceful paradise, something which many people seek for the ultimate relaxed break in our modern hurried times.
"With our guests we want to share the natural beauty of Queensland and the unique way of life we have here and offer them an unforgettable holiday. We present them with a genuine insight into 'the Aussie way of life', without sitting in the car for weeks to drive around the whole country. We show our guests the real highlights which define Australia and stay in each place for a while to really get to know the various destinations. Discover the unique Down Under country with us!"
