Vacation Travel Advisor
I have been a travel counselor since 1982 and joined Ellison Travel & Tours in 1995. With 40 years in the travel industry I have have extensive knowledge in planning amazing and memorable vacations.
Over the years I have had the good fortune to have travelled to many International destinations such as Britain and Ireland, Germany, Italy, Paris Russia, parts of the Caribbean and Mexico, Hawaii, Argentina, Brazil, Alaska, Florida, Thailand and Hong Kong. There are still so many places I plan to go.
I have a passion for selling Europe and the European way of life. I am a River Cruise Specialist and feel it is a wonderful way to experience the history and culture of so many amazing European cities.
I enjoy getting to know my clients and what their dream vacation would be and then making it a reality for them.

Worry Free Travel
Reviewed By Mark & Nonie - Toronto | Traveled to Baltic Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
We have been working with Anne for over 10 years for domestic and international travel. Prior to using Ellison Travel and Anne, vacation planning was sometimes stressful and often with less than satisfactory results. With Anne our travel has been mainly cruises (Caribbean and Europe) and all-inclusive resorts. Her advice, comments and recommendations have always been helpful and correct. The peace of mind that Anne is on the other end of the phone (or email) if required... before or during our travels is comforting and reassuring. She has learned and remembers our likes and preferences and applies them to all our vacation plans. Anne is always part of our vacation planning process...she is the best. Our Baltic cruise was handled from beginning to end like all our vacations with Anne...flawless!

Celebrating 10 years with Anne Darling
Reviewed By R & L Godkin - Exeter, Ontario | Traveled to Galapagos Islands ~ Ecuador ~ South America
Anne has been assisting us with travel plans for over 10 years. With her help we have enjoyed many memorable trips. to locations such as Europe, The Baltic, The Caribbean, The Galapagos Islands and Peru and the Mediterranean. Anne is organized and has all documents ready for us well in advance. Her attention to detail ensures that all aspects of the trip are looked after - everything from airline tickets to hotel rooms and transfers to. Whenever we have questions, Anne is quick to respond to emails or phone calls and she quickly finds the answer. She has been invaluable over this past year scheduling and rescheduling our vacations/cruises that were cancelled due to the pandemic. We highly recommend Anne to anyone wishing to travel

Fabulous girls trip!
Reviewed By PJ18 - London, Ontario | Traveled to Mexico
From my initial call with Anne, she was patient and thorough in what we were looking for in an all inclusive vacation. She gave us several choices in our price range with all the details we needed. Anne was always prompt in responding to our requests and several emails. The resort was fabulous and we had no issues to report back to her on. I would definitely recommend using Anne as your travel agent s she is professional and so knowledgeable. Thanks again Anne! Can’t wait to book my next vacation!
