Safari in Kenya and Tanzania
Reviewed By Sparky - Kelowna, BC | Traveled to Africa
Troy booked a G Adventures safari tour in Tanzania. Ten of us got a group rate (fantanstic!) and can't recommend G Adv. enough. Troy made sure all aspects of the trip were taken care of and acted as liaison on the tour. He offers full service from booking with G to flights to making sure everybody is taken care of on the tour. If you want to travel, contact Troy. He will take care of everything.
Troy Knight responded
"Thanks Carol Thank you so much for the kind words! It was such a pleasure organizing our group experience Tanzania with G Adventures—it’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime adventures that I love planning. I'm so glad to hear that everything went smoothly and that you felt supported every step of the way. Taking care of the details so you can fully enjoy the journey is what I’m here for. Can’t wait to help you plan your next great adventure—where to next?"

An absolute trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Happy Solo Traveler - Vancouver, BC, Canada | Traveled to Costa Rica | Central America
I was able to go travelling on short notice this spring. I couldn't figure out where to go on such notice so I emailed Troy asking for his advice. Right away, he emailed several destinations with specific tours for each of them that would be suitable for spring travel. I mentioned certain preferences and he was able to select countries and tours that suit my interests, abilities, budget, and comfort level. I selected a country and tour that I was interested in and right away he confirmed the tour, excursions and transfers. He also checked the flights and gave me some suggestions. I was basically able to complete everything in a couple of days. I was so happy to have Troy guiding me through the process and giving me advice and recommendations that were tailored to me. He provides excellent service and is my first "go-to" when it comes to planning and executing my travel plans.
Troy Knight responded
"Mae Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really glad we were able to pull everything together so quickly and find a trip that was a great fit for you. It was a pleasure helping you plan this last-minute adventure, and I’m always here whenever you're ready for the next one. I truly appreciate your trust and support!"

tour of Indonesia
I told Troy about my travel wish list and he kept an eye out for tours that matched what I was dreaming of. Not long after, he found the exact itinerary I had in mind and reached out to me right away. We talked, and he booked everything on the spot. From that moment on, I didn’t have to worry about a thing, he took care of all the details. My flight and my tour of Indonesia were absolutely amazing. It was seamless, stress free, and unforgettable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Family Christmas trip
I’m part of Troy’s Facebook page and saw a blog he wrote about planning ahead for family vacations, especially around Christmas, spring break, and summer when prices are higher and options become limited if you wait too long. It really stuck with me, so I reached out to him early to plan our family trip. Troy found an amazing resort for our family of four at a great price for Christmas. After we paid the deposit, I kept an eye on the resort’s price throughout the year and realized that Troy had saved us thousands of dollars by booking early. The whole process was easy, and he took care of every detail. I’m so glad I followed his advice and it truly paid off.

Last minute beach getaway
We reached out to Troy at the last minute, desperate to escape the Winnipeg winter and hoping he could find us a resort with good reviews and great value. He came through perfectly. Within no time, Troy found us a beautiful adults only resort that checked all the boxes and even secured us a swim-out suite at an amazing price. Everything went smoothly, and the resort was exactly what we were looking for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely reach out to Troy again for our next vacation.

Off to see the gorillas
I saw in Troy’s newsletter that he was heading to Uganda and Rwanda to see the gorillas and that anyone interested could join him, so I decided to take him up on the offer. From the very beginning, Troy made everything easy. He helped me book the entire trip, including the G Adventures tour, my flights, and all the pre and post hotels. Every detail was perfectly organized, which made the whole experience stress-free. The best part was that Troy wasn’t just a great travel planner ,he was also a fantastic travel companion. He was fun, friendly, and made the adventure even more memorable.
