"He was a delight to work with: enthusiastic, curious, efficient, knowledgeable, reliable and warmly responsive, leveled by a sense of humour."

What our clients have to say
Since 2015, Ron Montgomery, has been my travel planner on 5 holidays and cruises. He has always been professional, friendly and eager to please. Ron has an uncanny way of recommending little side trips, which have always been enjoyable.
Ron spoke at my networking group a few weeks ago and I was immediately impressed by his passion for what he does. At the time I was planning my trip to Europe and decided to ask Ron to help me and I am so glad I did! There were some obstacles to overcome and Ron navigated those like a pro. With Ron’s help, I was able to get a really good deal and I am very grateful for his expertise. I highly recommend using Ron to help you plan your next trip and be ready for an amazing customer experience!
My first time using Ron’s expertise was for a 7 week trip in Northern Europe, Scandinavia, Iceland and Russia last year. He was a delight to work with: enthusiastic, curious, efficient, knowledgeable, reliable and warmly responsive, leveled by a sense of humour. What Ron didn’t already know he quickly uncovered, suggesting possibilities we hadn’t thought of and helping us weigh up and broker options to ensure we made the most of our time and resources. I’ll naturally be trusting him for all my trips from here on!
I would like to recommend Ron Montgomery as a travel advocate. I am now on my third trip which Ron has helped organise and I have passed on his name to friends who have also become his clients. My first trip included a small ship cruise in Croatia, organised by Ron, which was excellent. He has been very skilled at finding good airfares, often on routes I would not have travelled if trying to book by myself on the Internet. Last year, Ron oversaw my trip to Russia (a waterway cruise from St Petersburg to Moscow), Scandinavia, northern Scotland and a bus tour of Iceland. This year I am working with him to organise a small group tour in India.
At all times, Ron is helpful and professional. His cheerful, friendly manner makes him easy to work with, and I feel valued as an individual, and listened to as he finds suggested tours, destinations and deals to meet my personal wishes.
