Group Travel and Italy Specialist
My name is Alison. I have worked in the travel industry since 2000. My interest in travel began long before that though. I come from a family of travellers. Through watching their adventures and sharing in their travels I developed a great interest in the world around me.
I have travelled to 36 countries in this world. When I am asked which one is my favorite I have a very hard time answering. I like to explore places that are very different from my home. I think that is why some of my favorite places are Morocco, Turkey and Israel.
My most recent trip was a Mediterranean cruise. I took a group of friends and fellow travellers along with me. To enhance the vacation I planned private transfers and private shore excursions. I have contacts all over the world who help me to bring together the highlights and secret spots in the destinations that I send my clients to.
I like to make sure that my clients get the best value for their money. This summer while in Barcelona, I searched for hotel locations for a client who was going to Barcelona next year.
I love to travel, I think we live in an amazing world. I want to share all of that with anyone who is interested.

Best Travel Agent EVER!
Reviewed By MStyler - Edmonton,Alberta | Traveled to
I used Alison for my Destination Wedding and I have to without her I am not sure what I would have done. Alison organized and managed my family with ease. We had people traveling from USA, and all over Canada. Alison is very knowledgeable and has excellent customer service. I continue to use Alison to this day for my travel needs ... why do it on my own when I can book it with her and know I am getting the best price and what I want. Use her once and you will be hooked!

Absolutley Wonderful
Reviewed By Danielle & Vance - Los Angeles, CA & Las Vegas, NV | Traveled to
I have used Alison and her services for a number of years because she is just the best person to work with when planning a vacation. In recent years she has helped my family take trips to Las Vegas, NV, Los Angeles, CA, Hawaii, USA, Cranbrook, BC and many other areas. She makes our planning so much smoother and does not get annoyed with the MANY changes that are done throughout the planning process! She always gets back to you in a timely manner and is so wonderful to speak to over the telephone and in person! Not only is she our Travel Agent but she was also a guest at our wedding which she also helped plan! I highly recommend Alison because she strives to do her best and find you the best rates to make your vacation that much enjoyable! A+++

Amazing!
Reviewed By Andrew - Woodbridge, Ontario | Traveled to
Alison truly is an amazing person and travel agent. I worked with Alison on a trip to Hawaii & Australia last year and she took all the stress out of planning multiple flights and connections - it was seamless. We're now working with Alison on our next vacation and she is so patient which is a good thing as we have changed our minds multiple times already. She may be in Alberta and we're in Ontario but it doesn't make any difference, as emails are quickly returned and she is always reachable via phone. I trust Alison entirely and know she will get us the best value for money and recommend the most suitable hotels.

We highly recommend Alison!
Reviewed By Allie - Winnipeg, Manitoba | Traveled to
When we were planning a trip to Australia I knew Alison was the person to call, even though she is in Alberta and we are in Manitoba. She watched flights and told us the opportune time to book them. She provided several options for hotels, recommended things to do while we were there, and calmed me when I started to freak out a couple days before we were to leave and were faced with airline strikes. We were in contact via email and phone, and our ticket packages arrived timely via Canada Post. She has also booked a couple of trips or my husband since then as well. First thing he told me to do was call Alison! If she tries to sell you travel heath insurance TAKE IT!!!! She saved my husband thousands of dollars in unwanted medical bills a few years back when he was involved in an accident while on vacation.Fast,friendly,knowledgeable service! A + in our books.
