After graduating from a Travel and Tourism course in 1977, I worked as a tour manager with both student groups and seniors, travelling across North America. In 1980, I settled down to work in a retail travel agency, and then joined Ellison Travel & Tours and the group department team in 1989. Here I have found my niche! I truly feel that my personal service and flexibility, provides my clients with the opportunity to create one-in-a-lifetime memories for their group. Our tours are customized to meet the needs of each individual group, with itinerary as well as payment schedules. I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of my clients for their continued loyalty, and I look forward to working with the new clients that visit my home page and give me a call.

My travel experience includes North America, London, England, Ireland, Amsterdam, Paris, Switzerland, Germany, the Algarve in Portugal, Prague, Vienna, Italy, Jamaica and cruising the Caribbean. The internet is giving us the world at our fingertips…let me share it with you!

 

 
Comments from my clients:
 
Harbour View Choral Ensemble - Germany & Austria
"There was something in our tour which would appeal to everyone – concerts, tours, shopping, sightseeing, concert venues, etc. It was very well done. A great experience for everyone!"
Michael Molloy, Harbour View Choral Ensemble
 
Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School - Austria & Italy
"I enjoyed the fact that we got to see so many places. The sights were spectacular. All of the performance venues for the band were amazing experiences. I particularly enjoyed visiting the school, Musikhauptchule Gosau. An excellent trip!"
Laurie Thomas, Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School
 
Park Street Collegiate - Cleveland, Ohio
"In comparing costs with other tour companies Ellison had the best price. Although changes occured up to the last day (due to strike) - we were informed every step of the way."
Lauralee Matthie, Park Street Collegiate Intermediate and Senior Band
 
Lord Dorchester Secondary School - Chicago:
Over the years Karen has gotten to know our preferences. I felt that I got to know the city in a way that makes me want to return - educational, fun, interesting, a good variety, good food and enough "free" time.
J. Perrier, Band Director
 
Stephen Leacock P.S. Kanata - Newfoundland:
"The trip to Newfoundland actually exceeded all expectations that I have as a music teacher. Together with Karen Leslie we created a 7 day tour that proved to be an awesome experience. Everyone of the 100 people on the tour were amazed and overwhelmed at the whole experience. Thanks especially to Karen, and Ellison Tours!"
Neil Power
