Founded in 1986, YYZ Travel Group is proud of its team of knowledgeable, well-travelled advisors and their commitment to ensuring your unparalleled experience every time you travel. We think of travel as an ‘art’ – and our role is to provide you successfully with artistic pleasure!

In 2008, YYZ Travel Group was invited to become a Virtuoso member, one of the world’s most prestigious luxury travel associations,
“by-invitation-only”. We are an award-winning agency with over 100 advisors speaking 30 different languages and have preferred status with the world’s most recognized travel brands such as Air Canada airlines, Four Seasons hotels, and many other suppliers.

Our services go beyond the status quo – personal attention to your travel needs starts by learning about your interests and unique travel style, continues as we build your perfect itinerary, and as you travel on your adventure, we stay with you the entire way until to your return. We have your back!

Our clients always come first. We have two main goals when advising, planning, booking, and monitoring your travels:

  1. Your 100% satisfaction with travel experiences; and
  2. Our lifelong valued relationship with you

 

Why YYZ Travel Group

Your key to travel like no other – a relationship with a travel advisor is about more than just a single transaction. It’s about providing a first-class product (travel experiences) and excellent service while building confidence and satisfaction with clients.

At YYZ Travel Group, our experienced team of over 100 travel experts puts your goals and dreams first. We monitor the travel business and keep in touch with our clients with the latest information—keeping abreast of travel trends, policy differences in different parts of the world, price specials to favorite destinations, preferred cruise line new itineraries to interesting ports, and other travel advisories of interest to specific clients.

We work with destination specialists, for tailored, in-depth itineraries, and luxury travel, keeping an eye out for your interests. We take care of every need—from the minute you contact us to when you return from your trip. We believe that the better we understand your travel style and needs (as they evolve), the better our relationship will flourish – get better with age – become magical!
