Staying and travelling around in Queensland was such a beautiful experience ...Paul and Lisa,both of you were not just fantastic tour guides you were also good friends. The whole time we had lots of fun. You showed us Australia from a different site. You showed us the real Australian way of life!Especially the trip to Fraser Island I loved the most. Driving in the 4wd was so funny! Driving in the "Loooove Bus" was also very funny and relaxing because of your cool music. You were supervisors and friends in one person. The time was amazing! The food from Alan and Mary was unforgettable. Hanging out with you in your house was very cool, your pool and your dogs are awesome! When we are back in Germany, we will miss you so much! And we hope that we will see you soon, maybe in Heidelberg?

Hey Paul and Lisa!

Now, 3 weeks later the great trip is over and we all had a wonderful time here in Australia. I think you two showed us the beautiful country in a special way we will never see it again. We have been 15 people which didn't know each other. Especially I didn't know anybody. I came with the hope to get to know all these people and have an unbelievable trip with them. And it came true! After three weeks we were one big group and everybody knew everyone very well. I think you have done this trip so well, with lots of laughing, singing, and with great experiences. Everything was good organised and really great. I loved the trip to Fraser island and the funny driving with the funny jeep. I never want to miss one moment of this journey! You showed me the great life as a backpacker and I am sure that I will come back one day as one.

It wouldn't be the same without the great "Loooove Bus". Lilly and the lovely doing of you!!

Thank you so much for everthing.

Dear Lisa and Paul,

I think you did a great job! Everything was perfectly organized, the plan you made and the activities you provided were great! Both of you cared of us very much. Special thanks for my dairy free food!! I really did not expect that. That was so cute! I admire you for your every day happiness!!! I think what made this holiday so special was that it is a mixture between vacation at one place in a beautiful holiday house and the taste of a backpacker's life. The best thing about this type of holiday is that you really get a deep look into the Australian way of life! It is a unique experience and very important for people (like me) who would like to study abroad! Besides what I really appreciated is that you were never under pressure to join any activities (though that was never necessary!)

Thank you guys for these excellent days that were over much too early. Coming soon for a surf, Paul!

See you

Jana (Banana) Hofmockel

P.S. Thank you so much Mary and Alan for cooking diary free and for your laugh that made everyone of us happy!!!

Hello Paul and Lisa,

Sexy Stefan and Pretty Phillip want to say thank you for the amazing time we had with you. We enjoyed the program with you as well as the time we spent on the “Love Bus”.

Thank you Paul for teaching us 99 words Australian. We hope we will see us in Germany for "backing out some wombats" in the Europa park.

To Lisa: We hope you enjoyed the last night lying in the sand and looking out for two people. Greetings Stefan & Phillip

G'day mates!

When we heard the word "Australia" we only thought of beautiful beaches, nice weather and poisonous animals (the invisible 15 second spider). But you showed us that there is so much more than that:

  • The loooove Bus
  • Great music
  • The easy going life style
  • The magic of Agnes Water and Town of 1770
  • There aren't poisonous snakes everywhere
  • The 15 second spider was a rumour...
  • The whole trip was "bloody beautiful"! Everything:
  • The surfing lesson
  • The stay in the holiday house in Agnes Water
  • The food from Mary and Alan
  • The Bush tour
  • Fraser Island
  • Shopping in Brisbane
  • Skydive

It was great that we weren't at the "tourist over crowded" places and you gave us an impression of the typical Australian way of life.

It was definitely one of the best holidays we ever had!

G’ day Lisa and Paul!

You and the whole group gave me a very great time in this 3 weeks. I can’t imagine to have breakfast without the group and the funny jokes of Paul....The trip was so exciting and interesting, the conversations in English and the Australian slang so funny...

My English is not the best but I learned: Nobody is perfect!

All in all: It was an amazing time!!!

Thanks you!

G’day!

Long we have been looking forward to this vacation and it was worth it, because the holiday has become just inst as we have introduced him.
It was bloody beautiful!!!

If you drive with Tui, is about respect, perhaps in better hotels, but with TQ Tours is certainly more fun and action! We also were able to get to know the real side of Australia. The people are really great! Many thanks also to Mary and Alan for cooking. It was very tasty.

It was really great with you to discover Australia. We will miss you and Agnes Water!

See you and no worries! ;-)

Yours

Hey Zusammen,

The holiday in Australia I really liked. The action which I had again and again (because I participated in all) was brilliant! The group fell into place in my eyes, like Paul and Lisa. Unfortunately the time passed much too quickly. But I may not remember that I am up to now in such a short time had so much fun. I have in my view, been through the most egregious things that I would not make at home.

Thanks also to Paul's parents, for the fine food, which they had always cooked for us.

I'm looking forward to our reunion at Europa Park.

IT WAS THE HAMMER!

Much love from Andri

I will come back!

Hey Paul and Lisa,

I do not know how to even begin ... My time in Australia was amazing! We have experienced so much and learned. Intense like John could not live the bush! Better than Luke could not learn to surf! Thanks Fozzis help, we know now what to do when confronted with a snake!
And when Joyflight with Shane, we could see the landscape from above ... even if you sometimes do not know is where the top and bottom ...
How beautiful it on the biggest sand island in the world, we were able to learn, thanks to you, esteem, BUMPY! * laughter * An incredible experience was also the Skydive ... I never thought that I can overcome such a thing!
But not only the activities were all unforgettable. We could also give a deep insight into the culture. Paul brought us closer as the Australian slang or informed us about the Australian lifestyle.

I also believe that I now see some things more calmly and not always think I must be perfect. I just want you to thank for this wonderful time here.
I will definitely come back to Australia ... maybe even for a longer time ...
Kind regards Carmen (Caramel =)

Dear Lisa and Paul,

I want to thank you two so much for this bloody awesome holiday!

It started at the first day with a great breakfast and the perfect view onto the ocean. You choose the perfect holiday house for us and also the activities in Agnes Water were a lot of fun.
But also important (for me) has been the people we met in Agnes like Don, Grom and Fozzy. It was a big fun to talk to them and improve my English.

I have learned many things about the country and the people, the Australian way of life. I really adore this attitude and I want to take it or a part of it with me back home and without you I would have missed this big experience. It was always fun with you, it was a perfect town and you were the perfect tour guides.
I’ll try to come back in the future and I just can recommend TQ Tours to others!

Dear Lisa and Paul,

Firstly, we want to thank you for this awesome holiday here in Australia. We are very happy because we had the luck that you joined us on our trip along the east coast. The time we spend in the holiday house in Agnes Water was amazing and the concept that you don't take us to the overcrowded places is great! It was nice that we could experience so much different things like DC cruisers, water activities and flying over the town.

Besides, we will also miss Inka, Shady and Eumundi. We enjoyed the other stations of our round trip as well. The beautiful sunsets of Town of 1770, Lennox Head and Byron Bay, the typical Australian animals, especially the koalas, kangaroos, and echidnas and the breathtaking views, for example from Indian Heads and the Lamington National Park were unique! Today is our last night and we hope we can take a little bit of the Australian laid-back lifestyle with us. We really hope to see each other again somewhere in Germany or Australia and we will miss you very much because in this short time we placed you on our hearts – that is very special!
