I highly recommend TAG and their exceptional staff for their outstanding support in managing the travel logistics during our filming of The Amazing Race in Southeast Asia. Their attention to detail, efficiency and commitment to ensuring a seamless experience were truly impressive. The team’s dedication and professionalism significantly contributed to the success of our production.Anne Woods, Travel CoordinatorI have worked with TAG across a number of productions, including Young Rock S2, Last King of the Cross, The Artful Dodger and currently, The Survivors. Their agents are the best in the business; they are knowledgeable, efficient and professional. When working with TAG, our travel agent becomes a part of the production and, after working with them once, I prefer not to work with anyone else.Chealsey Saunderson, Travel CoordinatorHaving worked on many prime time global formats with TAG, I have found them extremely helpful, super knowledgeable, and their reporting on demand is second to none. The 24/7 emergency line has been a lifeline on many occasions in every corner of the world, and is an essential tool to continue moving at pace during a shoot where every delay can be crippling. Their long term agents that we have grown to know and love give that special touch, unmatched by other travel agencies. I would highly recommend their services for any production in Australia or internationally.Jasmine Parkinson, Line ProducerWHO WE’VE WORKED WITH TESTIMONIALS
