We want to paint a picture for you.   Imagine you’re at a gathering with friends and acquaintances. It’s a fairly large group, let’s say around 15-20 people. Just as you begin to get hungry, someone brings out a large, layered cake. It’s smothered in rich, chocolate buttercream frosting – …

Way back in 2017 I wrote a blog in recognition of Canada Day; 50 Great Things Canada Contributed to the World. Since I wrote that blog I’ve been studying about the Indigenous peoples who have lived on this land we now call Canada for millennia – the First Nations and …

Saint Patrick’s Day brings Ireland and all things Irish to a lot of people’s minds. And, those of us lucky enough to be Irish or are of Irish descent, particularly so! My ancestors on both sides of my family emigrated to Canada from Ireland back in the mid to late …

There are so many things that we miss when it comes to travel, such as exploring new places, trying new things and meeting new people.  What I miss the most, are those extremely peaceful moments where you can just take it all in.  Whether you are enjoying a beautiful hike, …

Klassen, Rudolf & Carla – Peru & Paraguay

April 17, 2020 | Karen Pearson

Carla and I (Rudolf) just want to let you know how much we appreciate the trip you put together for us.

Somehow you were able to put together a package that was just tailor made for us, it could not have been planned any better. Also when we got postponed by bad weather Karen got on top of that and got everything under control again. Read More >

Moore, James – Around Iceland Cruise

April 16, 2020 | Lois Farley

My family and I have used the Great Canadian Travel Group to book a number of trips over the years including a trip to Churchill to see the polar bears; a trip to Greenland to see some icebergs; a self-driving trip around Iceland and most recently, a circumnavigation cruise around Iceland. Our consultant there, Lois Farley, and her colleagues are highly skilled professionals and made everything go smoothly and according to plan. Read More >

The Great Canadian Travel group’s department have done a fantastic job of arranging several group trips for the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce. Their group experts are thorough and efficient and I feel completely confident knowing our travellers are well taken care of. They always goes above and beyond and I’ve heard many positive comments from my group about the excellent communication and the top-quality service they provide. It’s a pleasure to work with them.

We have used Great Canadian Travel for 6 years now. We have taken 6 trips to Iceland and Lois has set them up for us. Each year the trip gets better and better!

Great Canadian and Lois take time to set up exactly what we want and the time that we want. Each of our trips are 6 days long. We tour Iceland each day doing different routes and then at night we go out to look for the Northern Lights. Each day is long and has many stops and we have never had any problems on any of our trips! I truly believe that planning all of this takes weeks and I never worry about my Iceland group. We normally have up to 90 people on the trip so that just adds to how detailed these trips have to be. I rely on Lois a lot to make sure all is taken care of. I cannot afford to have irate clients and Lois and Great Canadian make sure that does not happen. I have received many critiques of each trip and all of them have been very positive!

I have no problem recommending Great Canadian and Lois to anyone, only if you want very happy clients when the trip is over……..

Shauna Cook is my ‘go to’ for all things Iceland, Scandinavia, Churchill to see the Polar Bears and more. She knows Iceland inside and out. Knows what can work for a short stopover or a longer stay. I often need to ‘pick her brain’ in order to put things together. She is super prompt at getting back to me with a response and extremely thorough from start to finish. From setting up the quote to receiving documents. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her expertise!

I am very thankful for asking my colleague Mr. Ray Surette for a recommendation on who to use for Iceland. He indicated that he uses Great Canadian Travel and you (Shauna) in particular. Your travel expertise in the destination was most helpful for my very good clients, Mr. Ed and Frances C. I had initially contacted another company and was waiting for over a week and still received no reply. That’s when Ray said to contact you and with one email and phone call to you, I was able to start the booking process for my clients’ trip to Iceland and eventually booked a very detailed, customized trip to Iceland for October 2019. Many thanks again for your professionalism and prompt service.

Shauna is amazing and I use her services to book all of my Iceland clients. I have never been disappointed and if a tour happens to get cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances, she has my clients’ money refunded before they even get home. I recommend her constantly to my colleagues!
