Most Fun Trip of 2025
Reviewed By Sam - Sacramento, CA | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas | Baja California Sur | Mexico
This trip was incredible, and Chris was there every step of the way. From day one of thinking about going somewhere Chris asked me and my friends what type of resort we wanted for our Mexico trip and then went and found all our options. He took care of booking the trip and made the process super simple and easy for us. He answered all questions we had about payments and talked to the resort for us when needed so we didn't have to talk to anyone but him. When the day finally came, he was on call all week for any questions we had. We didn't really run into any issues but knowing he was there for support if we did need it was such a nice thing. I would gladly book with Chris again and plan to for my 2026 trips!

Best concierge service!
Reviewed By Social Travels - California | Traveled to Disneyland | California | USA
I have used Chris for bookings several times and each time he and his team go above and beyond. At this point I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve booked, but I will keep returning. Most recently, I had a last minute trip I needed to take that had a lot of specifics that would have taken me hours to sift through. I provided him the details of what I needed and he handled everything. And we had a great relaxing time!

Took all the guesswork out of vacation planning!
Reviewed By Ramona - Bella Vista, CA | Traveled to Mexico
It was so nice to tell Chris what we wanted as far as our vacation needs, and he got back to us right away with a plan. Any questions I had, he handled. No stress!!! Our cruise went so smooth, and it truly felt like a vacation!!!! We’re now thinking about an all inclusive, which I’m now happy to do so with Chris taking care of it. I’ll be calling you soon!! ??

Disneyland trip

Disneyland Success!
Chris at True North Travels made sure that I had the most magical time on my Christmas Disneyland vacation with my husband and children. From looking up multiple rates, fixing reservations when we had a change of plans, and continuing support even when we were on our holiday vacation. We had a great time and we owe it all to Chris! Hopefully next time we reach out to him to book it’s something tropical.
