As a passionate traveler and seasoned Flexible Independent Travel (FIT) specialist, I’ve made it my mission to transform wanderlust into reality.

Road trips are my canvas — I paint them with scenic vistas, quirky roadside attractions, and the thrill of the open highway. From the Trans Canada Highway to the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton Island, I’ve left tire tracks and footprints in some of the world’s most captivating landscapes.


I’ve mapped out cross-country adventures, from quaint B&Bs to roadside diners with killer seafood.

Family trip!
Bruce was very helpful planning our family trip. From booking the tickets, parking and plenty of information on things to do in Amsterdam. I would definitely call him to book our next trip! Thank you

It was my pleasure assisting your family on their trip to Amsterdam. You did almost the same itinerary I did last year, and I remembered what worked and what did not. Love Amsterdam

Great trip to the Netherlands
Bruce was absolutely amazing in putting together the travel plan and itinerary for our family trip. Our trip had a few moving parts such as people coming in from different locations and one member staying an additional week. Email reminders during key moments were extremely helpful. Would highly recommend Bruce's services!

UK trip
I have family in the UK, so I was very excited to visit and explore England. The accomodations were good, and one hotel room had a direct view of Big Ben! I can't wait to go back someday.

Princess Cruise
I had a great time travelling on the Sky Princess - even with a few days of rough weather, the journey was unforgettable.

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Bruce Holt responded:
I am glad you enjoyed the Sky Princess, she is very highly rated by fellow travellers. You were on the most southern transatlantic route used by cruise ships, and missed out on some terrible weather by ships that were a little north of your track. It is always difficult to anticipate what weather you could encounter. Look forward to booking another cruise with you down the road.
