Meet Jim Cato-Symonds
Travel Advisor at Envoyage in Ponsonby, Auckland
About Me
Travel to me is a personal and professional passion, and I thrive on curating trips that take you beyond the obvious. I love clients to 'feel' a place and not simply see it, to get past the 'must do' sights and soak in the real atmosphere, sights, food and history.I've travelled to over 55 countries, including seven visits to Japan and five to India, Europe, Central America, Cuba, Nepal, Naples, Venice, and Vietnam. I would love to make your trip as good as my own!
Whether you need a hand or want your hand held, you'll have my vast experience, personal recommendations, tips and, above all, concierge levels of service and care at all times.
Bon Voyage,
Jim

Client Testimonials
"Japan was just incredible! Your recommendations from the Hotels (gorgeous-Kyoto especially) you arranged for us, the list of your favourite places to eat and how to avoid the tourist crowds made it the trip of a lifetime. We felt like we saw a Japan others may have missed, and it was all so easy...Here's to you"

"You worked absolute miracles getting us on another flight via text. We left the rest of the cancelled flight people at Heathrow trying (and mostly failing, I might add!) to contact their online booking people, yet we were up and away..love your work chap"
