About Me

Making memories through travel

Whether it is a family vacation to an all-inclusive beach resort, a multi-generation cruise vacation, a Las Vegas girls/guys trip or a bucket list trip to or through Europe, I can help you plan it! It starts with a conversation - what you are thinking, what you would like and when. I then get to work and find options, ideas and suggestions that will work and prepare all the details to send your way for decision making. Because of my desire to go everywhere and see everything, I am constantly finding information on destinations and experiences. Technology today brings us information, videos and tips through social media that I love to discover and share. I do the hard work and you daydream your vacation to reality. We work together to make your vacation the best ever - until the next one!

Great vacation
Reviewed By Marla - Calgary, AB | Traveled to Disneyland ~ California ~ USA
I noticed this Feedback thing on the bottom of Lori’s signature lines and just wanted to take a moment to say how fantastic she’s been!!!
I was Blessed enough to win a trip to Disneyland and Lori has been wonderful from minute one. She has listened to my needs in regards to booking with a large family and has worked very diligently to get me the best prices and most efficient/economical way of doing things even on stuff that was after we returned from vacation!
I would highly recommend Lori and Custom Travel to anyone who asks for assistance in booking their vacation.
Thank you

Good afternoon:
I want to let you know what a pleasure it was working with Lori Zacher from the Calgary office. She was both accommodating and professional. She had a bit of a challenge ( from us) to try to organize for our friends in Calgary to meet up with us ,flying from Toronto , to the Grand Palladium in Puerto Vallarta. She did a wonderful job within our price range and never showed any hesitation for getting the job done. She truly is appreciated and did a fantastic job. All four of us are excited about our holiday.
Thank you.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

I just wanted to let you know what a great time we had in Vegas. Everything was so well planned and organized. Every step of our itinerary was so smooth and without a hitch. Thank you Lori for you continuous worked right up to the last day when one company changed its meeting place and you contacted us the day we were to fly out. So thank you and thank you from my sister. Hope to be able to book another trip through you.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing adventure!
Reviewed By Ben - Calgary, AB | Traveled to Crete ~ Greece ~ Europe
Just wanted to send you a note now that I am back from my holiday. Words cannot express how amazing my adventures were!! I sincerely thank you for your assistance in coordinating everything. Crete was a stunning place to visit which was only eclipsed by the food. I am so grateful I got the chance to visit the island. The hotels in Chania and Rethymno were top notch and the staff were fantastic.
Once again thank you!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Reviewed By Jan - Vancouver, BC | Traveled to New York ~ USA
I hope this is the right email to send a little feedback about our recent trip to N. Y. C arranged for us by Lori Zacher. My sister (who dislikes travelling) won a lottery which as a prize involved a vacation package. Our good fortune was that she gifted this opportunity to my partner and myself. Lori made the arrangements for us and I wanted to say what a terrific job she did in making our reservations with Cathay Pacific and also booking our accommodations. The trip went so smoothly which in my experience isn’t always the case.
I appreciated Lori’s communication back and forth and helping us have an incredible time in this amazing city. I will not hesitate to recommend custom travel to friends and we would be happy to contact Lori when we travel again. Her professionalism and help was very much appreciated.
Cheers
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Switzerland - New experience!

I had an amazing opportunity to visit Switzerland in August/September of 2021. Honestly, Switzerland had never been a 'must-see' destination for me, but I would have missed out on an incredible destination had I not gone. I have never seen such beautiful landscapes and the colours! Blues more blue than I have seen! Greens much more lush and vibr...

Portland and the Pacific Coast

Portland - to be honest, it has never been on my radar as a destination to visit or to send clients. My mind has been changed and I, personally, cannot wait to go back! Pleasantly surprised is an understatement. It is a pretty city, especially early October with the fall foliage. It is a city that is walkable and bikeable and very dog fri...
