TRIP MERCHANT JOURNEYS: EGYPT

I heard about Trip Merchant through my retired teachers’ association in the Spring of 2019.  They were offering a group departure to Egypt in Feb 2020 that interested me.

From my first contact with Tom the experience has been First Class – from learning about the trip, including optional excursions and extensions to Abu Simbel and El Alamein, to booking my flights, to the Vamoos App they provided for us, to our actual trip. Read More

As a solo traveler, I met and enjoyed the company of my 29 fellow travellers, learned so much about Ancient Egypt, experienced the culture of the regions we visited, had lots of fun and many laughs at the Galabeya party on our Nile River cruise and felt welcomed by all the people I encountered along the way in Egypt.  Tom and Ryan’s selection of beautiful hotel properties and local guides was exceptional!

With Tom’s knowledge of the industry and great advice, I was able to extend this two week trip and went on to Nepal and India for another two week adventure with Just You Tours.

The whole trip was very affordable and I received great value for my travel dollars.  I have already booked a river cruise in France, with extensions, through Trip Merchant.

I highly recommend this company which has so much expertise in the travel industry.

LONG STAY VACATION: PORTUGAL

My friend and I have been working with Ryan for several months now – planning a long stay vacation in Portugal.

It has been a fantastic experience as Ryan was always very prompt answering emails (no matter how trivial or uninformed our questions were), providing information, coordinating all the details, etc.

He has gone above and beyond at all times and I would highly recommend him for any travel plans people may have. Read More

Now that everything has been booked, I will say that I miss his emails as he was always very accommodating.

This experience has encouraged me to look at more travel opportunities in 2020!

We are looking forward to our vacation in Portugal.

With much appreciation,

– JoAnne S.

TRIP MERCHANT JOURNEYS: THE BEST OF EGYPT

I am recently back from Trip Merchant’s first hosted tour of Egypt and it was fantastic. The care, commitment, and effort shown by Tom and Ryan before, during, and after the trip was second to none. Travel, accommodation, food, activities, local guides, and attention to detail were more than I expected and I will be looking to be a part of upcoming Trip Merchant departures.

SCOTLAND & EGYPT

I have yet to travel but Tom has been patient, kind, knowledgeable and friendly while helping me book trips to Scotland and Egypt.

I really appreciate his suggestions and how he has worked diligently to get the best trips for me.

Thanks Tom.

Most sincerely.

OCEAN CRUISE: MEDITERRANEAN

My husband and I enjoy travelling and we are looking for variety. We recently had an opportunity to use the Trip Merchant Website. It is a perfect solution for meeting our travel needs. The website provides many extensive travel options from river/ocean cruises, group travels and even private tour guides for those special adventures. Any kind of travel is available with a variety of reputable tour/vacation operators. Also if I have specific requests the co-owners of Trip Merchant are very experienced and helpful. Read More

They offer some specialized travel opportunities that we hadn’t come across before seeing this site. After taking some time I browsed through all the many interesting links. I can even book through the website (Booking.com) for various hotels. It’s a one person stop for all my travel needs. The more trips I book, the more loyalty points I earn that can be used towards the already low prices. My husband and I have been very pleased with the ease and attractive price point when booking our various travels. We highly recommend Trip Merchant.

EUROPEAN CRUISE: OUR TRIP WAS SAVED AFTER A CRUISE CANCELLATION!

Ryan!

We are home safe and sound buried under a mound of laundry with memories to last a lifetime! We have you to thank for it. I just want to say again, with gratitude like you wouldn’t believe, thank you. When we received that call, I was in tears. A trip that truly I had dreamed for my family for literally years had been taken away on the way to the airport! It was heartbreaking but you made it happen and thank you just doesn’t seem like enough.

– Dianne L.

VIET PRINCESS CRUISES: VIETNAM/CAMBODIA

Booking a travel experience with Trip Merchant turned out to be a wise choice, and one which I would highly recommend.  The communication with Ryan in the form of e-mails and phone calls covered all the bases in terms of preparation and planning.  Ryan is keen to provide answers to any questions or concerns, as well as timely reminders prior to actual departure.  I was confident that all details had been covered with Ryan’s expertise.  By the way, the Vietnam/Cambodia travel opportunity was outstanding–put it on your bucket list for an amazing adventure!  Thanks very much, Ryan!

TRIP MERCHANT JOURNEYS: THE BEST OF EGYPT (FEB. 2020)

Fabulous trip for me as a first time group traveler. Will definitely go with your company again on future trips and will tell all my friends about my incredible trip. Many thanks, Tom and Ryan!

TRIP MERCHANT JOURNEYS: DREAM FULFILLED!

Tom and Ryan,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for an amazing trip to Egypt and providing the opportunity to fulfill my dream! This tour was the ultimate for me and I would not have wanted to see and experience Egypt any other way. Being a part of your inaugural group tour and having you both onboard as hosts was a wonderful, special experience, making it top-notch for Gerry and me. You really spoiled us and provided a fabulous trip that far exceeded our expectations!

Thank you so very much,

– Michele & Gerry W.

MOROCCO & PORTUGAL

Morocco was spectacular! We had fantastic guides, and Hamoud was the BEST!….So glad we signed on for this experience. Judy helped in every way she could from watching us carefully in Morocco to assisting with any personal difficulties. She was kind, patient and, most of all, fun to travel with.

– Ruth
