Terrific Thailand
Reviewed By d - Surrey | Traveled to Thailand | East and Southeast Asia
Troy makes travel hassle free. From the first conversation about deciding to see Thailand, he takes a lot of the decision making and confusion out of the equation. We knew the destination, the approximate dates & a tour that we were interested in - Troy took care of putting flights and everything together for us so that we had a wonderful worry-free trip. And then he followed up with us upon our return. We feel we're in good hands with Troy & would recommend him to anyone planning a trip.
Troy Knight responded
"Denise, Thank you so much for your kind words. I am really glad I could make your Thailand trip feel smooth and stress free from start to finish.

Celebrate our anniversary
I wanted to celebrate our 10th anniversary somewhere truly romantic and unforgettable. Troy found the perfect Fiji luxury island resort package, it included flights, private transfers, and every detail was taken care of. From the moment we arrived, we were completely spoiled and pampered. The experience was pure bliss. I’m already dreaming about our next getaway!

tour of Indonesia
I told Troy about my travel wish list and he kept an eye out for tours that matched what I was dreaming of. Not long after, he found the exact itinerary I had in mind and reached out to me right away. We talked, and he booked everything on the spot. From that moment on, I didn’t have to worry about a thing, he took care of all the details. My flight and my tour of Indonesia were absolutely amazing. It was seamless, stress free, and unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Crystal L Vancouver BC
Family Christmas trip
I’m part of Troy’s Facebook page and saw a blog he wrote about planning ahead for family vacations, especially around Christmas, spring break, and summer when prices are higher and options become limited if you wait too long. It really stuck with me, so I reached out to him early to plan our family trip. Troy found an amazing resort for our family of four at a great price for Christmas. After we paid the deposit, I kept an eye on the resort’s price throughout the year and realized that Troy had saved us thousands of dollars by booking early. The whole process was easy, and he took care of every detail. I’m so glad I followed his advice and it truly paid off.

Last minute beach getaway
We reached out to Troy at the last minute, desperate to escape the Winnipeg winter and hoping he could find us a resort with good reviews and great value. He came through perfectly. Within no time, Troy found us a beautiful adults only resort that checked all the boxes and even secured us a swim-out suite at an amazing price. Everything went smoothly, and the resort was exactly what we were looking for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely reach out to Troy again for our next vacation.

Off to see the gorillas
I saw in Troy’s newsletter that he was heading to Uganda and Rwanda to see the gorillas and that anyone interested could join him, so I decided to take him up on the offer. From the very beginning, Troy made everything easy. He helped me book the entire trip, including the G Adventures tour, my flights, and all the pre and post hotels. Every detail was perfectly organized, which made the whole experience stress-free. The best part was that Troy wasn’t just a great travel planner ,he was also a fantastic travel companion. He was fun, friendly, and made the adventure even more memorable.

A special cruise with my mom
Troy helped me plan a really special cruise for my mom so we could spend some quality time together as she’s getting older. It was me and my girlfriend in one cabin and my mom and her friend in another, and Troy made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. He helped us choose the right cruise line, handled every detail, and made the whole experience completely stress free. The trip was everything I hoped it would be, and I’m so grateful for the memories we made thanks to his help.

All Inclusive group trip during our Uni break
I found Troy online after reading so many great reviews and decided to reach out even though my friends and I are all based in Alberta and he’s in Vancouver. There were 14 of us looking for a fun, relaxing getaway between university semesters, and Troy made it all so easy. He planned a one week all-inclusive vacation for us at the Riu Vallarta, taking care of every detail from flights to room arrangements. The trip was seamless, the resort was perfect, and we’re already talking about booking our next vacation with him.
