Bio:

I enjoy experiencing new places and seeing how people live in different cultures. I enjoy vibrant and historical cities & towns, rural countryside, national parks and nature in its many forms. It's very satisfying for me to help my clients plan vacations that bring them to the world's special places, creating vacations that are both memorable and out of the ordinary.

I've been a travel agent for 24 years, and spent 8 years early in my career specializing in South Pacific, Asia and Africa travel, which I still do, though now I also work extensively with clients on trips to Europe, South and Central America, or anywhere you'd like to roam! I'm also a certified adventure travel specialist, and have visited 44 countries to date.

I look forward to working with you to create your next amazing vacation!

Testimonials:

We have utilized Murray as our travel agent since 2009. He has booked trips for us to New Zealand/Australia, China/Hong Kong, Peru, Ecuador including the Galapagos Islands, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Amsterdam, South Africa including Zimbabwe & Botswana. We have been extremely satisfied with all of our trips. Murray is very efficient, cost conscious and responds in a timely manner. We will continue to utilize and recommend Murray as our travel agent of choice.

Murray did the impossible after I was told by the travel agency responsible for a friend's destination wedding that they could not accommodate my friend Emily who lives in Halifax and myself, who lives in Victoria to travel together and stay for a shorter length of time at the resort due to our work requirements.
Within an hour or so of hearing our situation, Murray was able to find a reasonable quote for Emily and I to stay in the same room, keep the all-inclusive status, include all of our flights and transportation, and travel during our requested dates.
Both Emily and I were quite impressed and grateful that Murray completely understood what we were requesting and delivered exactly what we wanted. Thanks to him, Emily and I will be able to attend our good friend's wedding without sacrificing too much time away from work.

Murray has been our travel agent guide across five continents . . . & we're not finished yet! Always, he's been sensitive to our travel wants & needs, prompt in providing information & responding to queries, pleasant, courteous, fun to plan with. He's knowledgeable in many travel areas & what he doesn't know, he'll find out! We've come to trust his suggestions for what we might try & what we should avoid. And he's interested, after our journey is complete, in what went well & what didn't. Recommend him as your travel agent? Absolutely we do!

Carol & Ron, Victoria

Anne & I have been working with Murray for about four years. He has put together some fantastic trips for us, many of which he has customized for us rather than just selling us an existing package. His attention to detail is exceptional and he has developed a clear understanding of our needs, wants and what we could afford. He works quickly and answers enquiries in no time at all. We have also found that when he is absent, his staff are very good at picking up the ball and running with it. We would recommend Murray and Tier One Travel.

Alan & Anne, Victoria

Tier One is a top flight travel agency! My first visit was a few weeks ago to book flights to & from Eastern Africa. Murray G is my agent and I found him to be patient and thorough as well as a great source of expert advice. His follow up care has been excellent and I have no doubt that my next flight or holiday will be based his assistance.
I also enjoyed the front desk person Monique whose frank and humorous comments contributed to my enjoyment of the experience. Recommended HIGHLY!
