World-Class Travel, Melbourne-Made
Bespoke Escapes for the Cultured Explorer
At Emma Whiting Travel, we don’t sell trips - we design journeys.
With over 20 years of experience, our Melbourne-based team curates bespoke travel for those who want more than just a booking.
From the first call to the final itinerary, you’ll be guided by real experts who know the difference between available and exceptional.
Why Travel by EWT?
Access You Didn’t Know Existed
Want the keys to a private château? A table at that impossible-to-book Tokyo restaurant? Front-row seats in the Serengeti? We’ve got the connections - and the charm - to make it happen.
A Human Behind Every Detail
From your first call to wheels-up, you’ll have a real person (hi!) guiding the way - troubleshooting, tweaking, and whispering “try this instead” before you even need to ask.
Travel That Transforms You
Whether it’s sipping Chianti in a Tuscan farmhouse or kayaking beside Antarctic glaciers, we design trips that immerse you - in culture, in place, in memory-making moments.
The Confidence of a Concierge, The Data of a Pro
We use smart tools to stay one step ahead - tracking flight alerts, waitlists, visas, and logistics so you don’t have to lift a finger (except maybe to say “more champagne, please”).
Travel Your Way

Travel by Experience
Because how you travel matters just a much as where you go.
At Travel by EWT, we design journeys around the way you love to explore.
Whether it's the slow rhythm of a rail journey, the barefoot luxury of an island escape, or the thrill of spotting the Big 5 in the wild - every experience is handpicked for you.
From boutique city stays and foodie deep dives to sustainable adventures and soul-stirring walks, we’ll help you choose a path that feels like you.
One style doesn’t fit all - and with us, it never has to.
-
Travel by Destination
This is travel that goes beyond the landmarks. The kind that pulls up a chair, starts a conversation, and lets you linger a little longer.
Each destination we feature is chosen for its richness of experience, its culture, and its power to surprise you.
Every journey is crafted to help you truly know the place, not just visit it.
-
Travel by Month
We’ve curated the world’s most unforgettable experiences, season by season, so you can catch each destination at its sparkling best.
No crowds, no second-guessing - just extraordinary travel moments, right on cue.
-
Travel by Trip Style
Create the travel stories your family will retell for decades.
From multi-generational holidays, milestone escapes to girls’ getaways - we make every journey feel effortless and unforgettable.
Our tailor-made itineraries are designed around your wish list, preferred way to travel — with the little luxuries you didn’t even know you needed.
Why Emma Whiting Travel?
Hi, I’m Emma – and I’ve been in love with travel since I was a kid exploring Europe with my family. Those early adventures lit a fire in me that’s never gone out.
These days, I get to share that spark by helping you plan trips that are more than just holidays – they’re unforgettable, life-changing experiences. There’s nothing better than hearing a client come home with stories that make their eyes light up, knowing I had a hand in creating those memories.

“We booked a holiday in Far North Queensland through Emma Whiting Travel.
Barbara, our agent, did a wonderful job. The itinerary she gave us met our every need and everything went smoothly.
Shortly after our return, my son and his kids needed urgent help while on a holiday in the Philippines, and Barbara was able to provide the help they needed, even though they were not her clients.
This is a wonderful travel agency and we will be turning to them whenever we travel again.”

“I recently spent an amazing 6 weeks in Italy as a solo traveller which I couldn’t have done without help from Jay Harrison at EWT in planning and booking my trip.
This was a special trip for me, and from my first conversation with Jay he understood the significance of it. Jay listened to my ideas, respectfully offered suggestions and together we came up with an itinerary that was perfect for me.
I am very grateful Jay was there to walk that part of my journey with me.”

What a great travel agency. Jay helped me book a cruise and he was fantastic.
His wealth of knowledge and advice was exceptional. Nothing was too hard for him, he was always ready to help and he made the whole process easy and stress free.
I highly recommend Emma Whiting Travel.
