Our People


 

   

Jane Ryan

Owner/Manager

Jane Ryan has been a travel agent for 22 years in Australia and for 3 years before that in South Africa and the UK. Years of travelling and working in the industry make the best travel agents.  Jane has owned her own business since 1997 and has a large client base of wonderful people who also recommend Travel and Tour Hunters to their friends.

 

Whilst Jane has always been a "traveller", rather than a tourist, it has given her an excellent base to be able to have first-hand knowledge of the many countries that she has visited.

 

There is a difference between a tourist and a traveller. Many agents have only travelled with an "educational group" and only stayed in 5 star accommodations. Jane has lived and worked in the UK, Israel and South Africa. This knowledge is an essential tool to recommend travel itineraries for all travel standards, i.e. budget backpacking to 5 star luxuries.

Our Tour Leaders

 


 

   

Barbara & Trevor Varley

Travel is an addiction. Like being addicted to chocolate, after the first taste there is no turning back! This is the way travel has affected both Barbara and Trevor. Since their first overseas trip to Singapore in 1982 they have been lucky enough to continue to travel the world. They now use their unparalleled experience to escort group tours exclusively for Travel & Tour Hunters, in Maitland, NSW.

 

Barbara and Trevor has taken over 50 tours from China to Scandinavia to The United States of America, and endeavour to make all those travelling with them feel at ease.
