I joined Ellison Travel & Tours in 1991 to plan tours! With the superior in-office resources available to me, I can research any type of tour you are interested in putting together. We specialize in designing tours with performance opportunities or visits to historically significant sites – whatever is specific to your groups’ interest or heritage.

In order to better assist you with your travel itinerary and make recommendations, I have attended international conferences and trade shows such as World Travel Market (London, England), Wales Showcase, Austrian Travel Show and familiarization (FAM) trips with Eurostar and Princess Cruises and an Alaskan cruise visiting Seward, College Fjord, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchican and Vancouver.


I have had the pleasure of touring with the "Youth Voices of Kent" to Holland, Belgium and Germany attending OIK International Youth Music Festival.

I have visited much of Canada, Montreal and Quebec City being my favourites and in the USA my travels have taken me from Boston to San Francisco, enjoying many of the states in between. Internationally I have had an opportunity to spend time in Holland, Belgium, France, England, Wales, Spain, Portugal, Italy plus Chile, Costa Rica, both coasts of Mexico and some of the Caribbean islands.

I look forward to the privilege of providing you with a customized itinerary and a rewarding tour experience for your entire group.

 

 
Comments from my clients:
 
Fashion Tour to Italy
"The tour was fabulous! It was well organized, well orchestrated and very inspirational. The hotel and food exceeded our expectations. Through your attention to detail, you made Venice a magical place! Thank you for your hard work and effort.""
Wendy Sperry, Fanshawe College
 
England and Scotland featuring the Harrogate Festival:
"Everything that could go right did! The Harrogate Festival was perfect for us and we played five concerts in four locations. Good audience and venues. Our tour manager was really on top things and stepped in at the right times. The accommodations were what we expected and the meals were good. For my first experience oversease it was so easy.!"
Mark Ward, Crescent Heights High School, Medicine Hat, Alberta
 
Hart House Chorus - Tour to Czech Republic, Austria & Hungary:
"Ellison Tours arranged a performance tour for us that was ideally suited to our needs as a group of university students and faculty of very diverse backgrounds. The itinerary was the perfect mix of planned events and flexibility that accommodated even those members with minds of their own, and the performances and concert venues were appropriately matched to our musical level. We had an unforgettable experience on tour, and I would highly recommend Ellison Tours to any musical group, of any age or level or expertise, that is considering taking their show on the road."
Alexander Haninec - Toronto, Ontario
 
St. Joseph's School - Educational Tour to Chicago:
"This is the first time I've used a tour company. I'll never do all the legwork again. Linda was always accommodating, pleasant and quick to fix any problem or change in our arrangement. Chicago is a great place to visit, lots to see and do, schedules worked out perfectly, the kids AND the adults loved it! Thank you so much."
Nora Mullen - Teacher - Corunna, Ontario
 
Waterloo Collegiate Institute Choir - Liberation of Holland Performance Tour:
"Linda, you were very accommodating in all aspects of the planning, despite the major headaches we must have caused with all of the wrinkles we threw your way. Listening to what we wanted to do made the trip possible. We simply could not have done all of the legwork even if we had the necessary contacts. You helped us make tremendous life-long memories".
Peter Ball and Rosemary Berndt - Waterloo, Ontario.
