“Big shout out to Ned Ambrus for organizing and booking the Costa Rican Vacation for Izzy Perry and I. Trip of a lifetime!”

“So we’re back safely after our adventures and just wanted to send a big thank you out to the woman who made it all possible. To our magnificent travel agent Ned Ambrus, thank you for all your help! Folks, have a thought to WHERE in the world your travel agent is located next time you book a holiday... Ned is in Canada, and when we hit small problems like having a flight cancelled when we were at the airport, Ned was awake, at her computer and within the hour had re-booked tours, advised hotels, and re-scheduled transfers all while Australians were fast asleep in the middle of the night. In addition, she has unflinchingly followed up on other tour hiccups and we can honestly say her after-sales service is second to none. She is just amazing. If you’re travelling to the Northern Hemisphere, we would highly recommend making contact with Ned!!”

The Travel Desk organized a trip to Costa Rica for my husband and I in October, 2014. We told them our “must haves”, nice to haves” and “no thanks” criteria. They took care of everything, from hotels, to excursions, to transportation.

Our trip was absolutely amazing! Everything we wanted to do was in there, all organized and planned in perfect fashion. Someone met us at the airport with our itinerary, and took us to our first stop of the trip. We were given support and contact information should anything go wrong (which it did not!) and felt great about the trip from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I would definitely recommend using them for any kind of trip you are planning - they can plan it all, or parts of it, and they’re extremely knowledgable about all aspects of travel - what to do, what not to do, etc. I know we’ll use them again in the future should the occasion arise.”

“Thank you Ned and Alison for your help. I think Amanda agrees that we couldn’t have done it without your knowledge and help! I am very excited and this will be such a nice trip!”

“I stalked Ned down in order to arrange my recent trip to Antarctica and it was worth the (almost) restraining order! She and Alison were amazing at answering my 101 questions pre trip, panicking along with me when I missed a connecting flight and going over and above to ensure that everything got worked out. So glad I used these two great ladies for my bucket list trip to the 7th continent and highly recommend them for any travel arrangements you want with that special touch!”

“Travel sports package booking with The Travel Desk in Stony Plain.

I had the opportunity to arrange with Alison at the Travel Desk a fella’s trip to check off the bucket list. This trip focused on a sports weekend for 8 to the Dallas, Texas area.

The focus was college football game, NFL Cowboys game NHL hockey game and golf. In and around this trip was 4 rounds of golf and some great eating of Texan BBQ and fine dining in downtown Dallas.

Alison and the travel desk were amazing in organizing everything from pickup at the airport to the Gaylord resort, our own personal driver to the get us around to golf courses and the college football game.

Alison was very accommodating to our very busy schedule and was very helpful in coordination with Star Sports tours for our NFL experience which included hall fame tailgate party and amazing seats.

If you’re thinking of a sports trip please think of The Travel Desk in Stony Plain. How bout them COWBOYS!”
