IN A CHANGING world where holiday itineraries can be booked solely online, Dalma Travel and Cruises continues to pride itself on its face-to-face customer service with a personal touch.
Having just returned from the ‘picture perfect’ Amalfi Coast and Adriatic Coast of Croatia, Dalma Travel owner and manager Rashida Przastek is inspired to help jetsetters plan a smooth and eye-opening trip overseas.
“It’s my passion for travel that keeps me going,” she says.
“The only way to really explain places to clients – where to go, what to do, what to eat, what to see – is to go there and experience the place first-hand.“
After befriending Italian locals in Sorrento and the Bay of Naples, Rashida took an eight-day tour in Croatia across lakes, national parks, palaces and fortresses. She then went on her annual visit to England where she indulged herself with an affordable dinner cruise on the River Thames, a unique way to see London by night.
Originally from Pakistan, Rashida has worked in London, and for Pakistan Airlines and Air India.
With over 50 years of experience in the travel industry, she guides customers to develop personalised itineraries according to their interests; be it historical sites, beaches, shopping or traditional cuisine.
Rashida recommends planning holidays with Australian based companies, which gives clients more flexibility in terms of making changes to their itineraries compared with booking online.
