About Me

The Instantly Recognizable Funnel of Carnival Crui
The Instantly Recognizable Funnel of Carnival Crui

My name is Claude HoI have been working in the travel industry for over 7 years.

I operate out of the Mississauga area in Ontario, but my clients are not limited to this geographical area. 

I love to travel and to visit different countries and learn about other cultures. I believe that the more places you visit, the more you discover that, apart from the basic differences of language, food, and culture, most people are just like us.

I was bitten by the travel bug in my early years when I used to travel by train and then cruise by ship along the mighty rivers of Guyana (the Berbice, the Demerara and the Essequibo rivers). Guyana is the best kept secret destination for eco-travel.

Later I had the good fortune to to travel extensively across North America, visiting and working in all the major convention cities of the US and Canada.

While the Caribbean area is my main specialty, I have also cruised the Mediterranean and Western Europe. This area is vastly different from the Caribbean, as it is heavily into history of ancient civilizations.

During my years in the travel industry, one thing I have come to appreciate and the best piece of advice I would like to pass on is this: if you want to travel, do it now, while you can and while you still have good health. As you grow older and your health starts to fade, travel becomes more and more difficult.

You do not want to say "I wish I had gone there when I had the chance!"

To better serve my clients and prospects, I have taken the opportunity to learn as much as I can about the places that they like to visit and different modes of transport. Among the awards/certifications that I have earned are: 

  • Sandals Certificate of Achievement
  • Jamaica Travel Specialist
  • Vegas Certified Travel Agent
  • Cayman Islands Master Dive Specialist
  • Certificate of Panama Canal Transit
  • Celebrity Cruise Lines
  • Carnival Cruise Lines
  • Princess Cruise Lines
  • Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines
  • SNG Certified Accessible Travel Advocate.

I have sent clients on Hawaiian Islands Cruise and also to China on the Yangtze River Cruise and Tour of the Hydro Dam.

I will always remember this comment made by my client after he had come back from the Hawaiian Islands Tour:

"I know you said that we would have to get up early, but I never expected to have to get up at the ungodly time of 3 o'clock in the morning to see an active volcano!"

Of course he thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the view!

Why should you use my services above all others?  These are the rules that I adhere to:

  • I will listen to you, and I will take your requests seriously.
  • If I do not fully understand what you mean I will ask you to clarify it for me.
  • I will not push my opinions on you, but will work with you to find exactly what you want.
  • I will give you choices; your decision is what matters, not mine.
  • Your time is valuable, so is mine; I will answer your concerns as quickly as I can.
  • My business builds on referrals; if you are pleased with the quality of my service, you are likely to refer me to your friends and family. I therefore strive to make you happy

 

For That Memorable Vacation.

For those of you who would like to experience a really memorable vacation let me recommend the Yangtze River Cruise and Hydro Dam Tour in China.

Service on the cruise is impeccable. The ships are smaller, that means no huge crowds; staterooms are large, that means comfort; river cruising is smooth, not like the open seas.

For the Land portion of this Tour, transfers are included; meals are included and served; the Hotels are 5 star. The Hydro Dam Tour is exciting and educational.
