Thousands of Choices – Expert Knowledge – Collaborative Planning – Help If You Run Into a Snag
Travel is fun, planning is fun, but laying it all out, making the bookings, portioning out the money? Time consuming and nit-picky. Not when you work with us. Why? We already know the right questions to ask and the right people to work with. Because we are the only call you need to make to set up a trip.
Decomplicate
Simple trips are simple. Usually (which is why we still always offer insurance). But for more complex trips, it can take a serious amount of time to pull the pieces together. Multiple suppliers each with their own deposit and payment requirements, forms of payment, currency, terms and conditions in different legal jurisdictions. Then there’s visas, travel advisories and travel insurance.
We take out as many of the road bumps of travel as travel as possible to give you a clear view to your travel horizon, without stress and worry. And with better control on your budget.
How We Work
- We search our select repository of existing tour and cruise operators to find you a fantastic tour or package vacation. We’ll make sure all the i’s are dotted and t’s crossed so you’re in for a smooth trip.
- If you’d prefer a more personalised experience, we will plan a more tailor made trip for you. Leave it to us give you a fully formed proposal using our supplier network and we’ll find a great program for you without you ever having to sift through the hundreds of internet choices, emails, phone calls, payments.
- Or, if you like more hands on, collaborate on the fun stuff with us and then we’ll get the logistics, costs, documentation, insurance and other details sorted out.
It all starts with you and all it takes is a quick email or call to get going. Check out our meeting calendar. We make appointments during office hours on weekdays but Tuesday. On Tuesdays you can schedule meetings with 5:00 PM till 8:00 PM.
Schedule a Zoom, phone or live meeting with us when it is convenient for you.
Tips to Get You Started
1. Start with an email early on.
We can set up a time to talk face to face on video or by phone. It’s the best way to provide the personal service that you won’t get from just booking online. If you have any questions at any time of the process, during and after you travel, you can just call, text or email directly.
We’ll provide a complete review of pricing by looking at the full picture, not just the advertised price. We dig deep. We promise best options with trusted and true operators and suggestions to help you make the right choices for what ever comfort level you have in mind.
Furthermore, we can offer you programs that give you choices you would not have had by buying on your own.
2. Before You Book Yourself Into A Corner
Check out entry requirements. Visit your government travel advisory website to understand the risk levels to travelling in your desired destination. For Canadians, please see https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/advisories This is very important as it will advise you and also provide the risk levels which govern the coverage and possible exclusions with your out of country travel insurance.
If you have been doing the travel planning yourself, talk to us before you put down deposit money. If you have made some reservations and you want us to take over for you mid stream, also let us know and we may be able to convert existing bookings.
Life changes and so do plans. Travel suppliers also have to deal with factors like labour disputes, weather, natural and human made disasters, road conditions and equipment repairs which can cause unavoidable changes in their scheduling which may interrupt your plans. With our comprehensive travel insurance you get more than just out of country medical. Our policies are designed by professionals who also love to travel.

3. You Have A Local Contact At Home and Away
When you book travel with us, you’ll have access by phone, email or text. Your important friends and family will also be able to contact us if need be and we will know where you are and the best way to reach you if need be.
You are also advised to register yourself with Canada and let them know when and where you’ll be travelling. Read more on Canadians travelling abroad.
4. Responsible Choices
Visiting destinations and people has effects. You have a choice to be a positive effect or a negative one. We’ve chosen travel providers that have made significant operational commitments to make positive impacts where they operate. They do this by leaving a softer footprint environmentally, by ensuring that the money generated by organizing trips is fairly distributed, to hire local people and train them to take on more responsibilities themselves if they wish to advance in their careers, to make the workplace equitable on race and gender grounds and to operate with high safety and health protocols. Just ask us if you want to delve into this further.
7. No bots about it.
We are your live service when the bots can’t help you.
