About Me

Tuscany

Who doesn't love travel?  To be a travel advisor is not just about loving travelling but being very passionate about it.  People see my passion when I build their vacation piece by piece.  I've been navigating the world for people for over 30 plus years and still loving it.  My passion started when my family immigrated to Canada in the 70's.  My eyes were opened to the travel world since then.  I love the challenge of tailor-made holidays and no challenge is big enough when you put your heart to it.  I love to listen to what clients have to say about their past adventures and that gives me the opportunity to pick up details necessary to offer what is best suited to their needs.  I have too many favorites but Italy and Kenya tops them all.  I've done everything from cruising to touring, hiking to unique adventures and my favorite, just hanging out by the ocean.  

 

I started a ladies group 11 years ago when I took a bunch of friends to Italy.  I soon discovered that I have a penchant for leading groups, so my ladies' tour spiraled to a yearly event and later expanded this further to welcome couples and singles!  Whether its a shopping trip to New York, exploring beautiful Italy or exploring the wildlife plains of Africa,  I treat my group as my friends.  I keep my groups small in order to provide everyone the attention they need.

 

I read a lot about a destination and pay attention to traditions when I travel as that opens one door to unique experiences. While visiting major attractions seem to be a must, I like to go on the roads less travelled to get a real feel of that destination.  Whether its a holiday of a lifetime, reuniting friends and family or simply time to get away, I will make your travel plans work for you!

 

Keep dreaming, your adventure begins when we start the travel conversation. 

The Best Italian trip

Contacting Marivic was the best decision we made. She helped us with everything: itinerary, hotels, transportation (flights and trains), and tours. She was super considerate about our budget and aside from all this, she was also super kind and provided us with valuable tips. She was also super organized with the tickets and itinerary, which made our lives much easier. Marivic was always very responsive and found good and reliable deals. I would recommend her services to anyone!!

A True Professional
Reviewed By Thetravelduo - Burnaby | Traveled to Africa
A true professional in every way from start to finish. She is very detailed. We never used an agent before but after Covid we decided to look for one and found her bio very interesting so we contacted her. She definitely brought our holiday to a new experience and involved us always in the booking process. We will definitely return.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
