Why Use a Travel Advisor

Only a spider trusts the web, but if you book online, book "my site" instead

I’m a personal travel advisor. I am a knowledgeable and resourceful consultant who can look at your family’s needs and wants, and come up with solutions to ensure you have the vacation of your dreams.

"Best holiday ever"-client returns fr Noteworthy Events tour London

I just received the most wonderful of emails from a client. She’d just returned from a trip to London with her 5 and 11 year old daughters, and her mom (grandma).  We had a private driver pick them up at Heathrow, drive them to their hotel, and then had a private tour guide arranged for areas

Lessons from Maister's book: The Trusted Advisor

I am a "travel advisor"… not a "travel agent"

My greatest business treasure is my existing client base. They continually reward me with repeat business, and they give me the greatest compliment when they refer me to their friends and family. I honour that trust. My existing client base already knows and trusts in the value I provide… else they wouldn’t be repeat customers! 🙂   But, obviously,

Had a blast this morning seeing producer Erin Lannan, and meeting co-hosts TL Rader and Neil Hedley of Rogers’ channel 22.  It was so much fun to talk travel – Disney, Disney Cruise Line, Anguilla, and more.  And, of course, got to plug Vision 2000, and our support of the Royal Ottawa Hospital Gala on
