CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“It is without a moment of hesitation that I highly recommend the exceptional business practices and expertise of Austral and its country managers who were very professional, well-connected and diligent about supporting SJU’s nine business meetings, as well as some of the very best hotel arrangements and group dining experiences possible in both Bogota and Panama. If I would provide a “score” for this trip and 10 was the highest rating, I would give this trip an 11. Austral Group, working in collaboration with my office and with SJU faculty,  contributed inordinately to such a successful outcome.” 

Terese Wallack Waldron, Director, Executive MBA

St. Joseph’s University

“I want to thank Austral Group for their help in organizing and executing a fabulous trip to Peru. This is my sixth year in working with the Austral Group and they have yet to disappoint. Their professionalism, people, and planning are first class and I look for to working with them for our 2015 trip.”
