I used to spend hours upon hours researching destinations in order to find the perfect one, but I don't have that kind of time anymore now that I have a baby! Karen was able to give me information on resorts I was interested in as well as offer recommendations based on our likes/dislikes, wants/needs and must-haves. She also caught a flight discrepancy from an online booking site. There was an overnight stop in Calgary that wasn't clearly displayed in the flight details. If I hadn't used an agent, I probably would have booked that trip and eventually found out we had to stay the night in Alberta! Thanks, Karen! I look forward to working with you again!

Robin goes above and beyond to make sure our trips are the best. We recently took a vacation to Hawaii, and had issues with our accommodations. Robin was very helpful straightening everything out and getting us settled in quickly. It was so nice having someone to advocate for us. I highly recommend Lynden Travel Company.

We have been using Colleen Forest at Transat Travel for over 12 years and have experienced no…read moredifficulties. She has given us great advice, and found her very efficient and experienced in the countries, Caribbean islands and cruises we have definitely enjoyed. This year we wished a new resort to visit in the Mayan Reverie, Mexico ( this Mexico resort area is our favorite). We wish to plan a Christmas/New Years holiday at a relaxing holiday resort. Again it was very obvious Coleen Forest keeps current up to date information of new, large or small resorts in Mexico. Found Colleen very efficient and her vast traveling experiences was a definite asset for us. Her easy mannerism and advise is all ways welcomed and gave us confidence, no worries, or stress that our trip would be memorable. We would recommend this experienced travel agent for new/old travelers, wanting a relaxed holiday or even a nice experience on a Cruise Vessel. Her Transat Agent portfolio of destinations, cruises will give you an idea of where you might like to travel. We found out it is best to make a call and then an appointment to discuss all your issues. Writing them down before hand sure help us. If not busy with a traveling customer she always will take the time to talk to you. Her politeness and cheery conversation makes for a non stressful visit and her ideas will give you a trip of a life time! (GK).

We used Island Time Tours for a private tour to Bouchard Gardens. She made it incredibly easy for…read moreus as cruise ship passengers to see this world-class garden even though our stop over was relatively short. The pricing is reasonable and well worth the cost. Colleen, the owner, was our tour guide -- she was so informative, kind, and fun. She made the drive extra special by giving us a full history of the gardens and a mini driving tour on the way home of downtown Victoria. Highly recommend doing this!

Wow, what a great time find! We came to Victoria on the Clipper, just before New Year, and my wife…read morewanted to take a winery tour, so we ended up booking Island Time Tours while on the boat over. We were thinking it would be in a large bus with 40-50 other people and I was not excited about it, and we were surprised the next day when Coleen met us in her small party type bus that only seats about fourteen people. There were only four of us and it felt like we were going out for the day with friends. Coleen was very personable and informative, and with only four of us it felt like we were going out with friends for the day. We don't think it was just because of our small group but how Coleen just seems to be. It turned out to be more than just a winery tour as she pointed out various sights and places of interest. We only went to two wineries and an apple cider farm because of the time of year. Coleen appeared to have a good relationship with the wineries that made it more personable. We had a great lunch that was included in the price. Actually, I am not even a wine drinker but I really enjoyed the entire day because it was more than just tasting wine. We started at the boat terminal but she dropped us all off at our hotels. We had planned to go to Bucthart Gardens the next night and were going to take the typical large bus with 40-50 people, like we had done before, and found out that Coleen also runs tours to the Gardens. We decided to go with her and she picked us up at our hotel and again, there were only four of us. The cost was the same as with the large bus tour, but so much more enjoyable since she takes the back roads with less traffic and also get into places easier because of the small van. Victoria is one of our favorite the places to go and finding Island Times Tours has been a great and we will surely use them again.
