Murdoch Travel - Barrie, Ontario

Justin LeCraw

My fiance and I were looking at a destination wedding and through our research discovered Murdoch Travel in Barrie, ON. Jeff and his team focus on destination weddings and do they ever know what they are doing.
We took a party of 30 to RIU Palace in Costa Rica, and you would think with over 30 people it would be a nightmare to get everyone booked. But not with Jeff. The entire process was seamless and extremely easy for not only my fiance and I, but everyone who booked with him. Any questions or requests anyone had he handled immediately. He even got my brother booked with only weeks left prior to departure and way passed the cut off deadline. I was very impressed with how professional everyone at Murdoch was, and how important they made us feel. They gave a very personal touch to the experience which I cannot appreciate more.
If you are looking to book a destination wedding, or just your next vacation, Murdoch Travel is who you want to speak to. They will take care of you personally.

Thank you Jeff, Alex, Ashley, and everyone at the Murdoch Travel team for such an amazing experience. We will absolutely be booking our vacations going forward with Murdoch.

I have booked several trips with Murdoch Travel. Jeff and his team are so professional and extremely knowledgeable. My most recent trip was a river cruise down the Danube by Avalon cruises. It was an amazing trip and I have no problem recommending Murdoch travel .

I can’t thank Jeff and his wonderful team enough for their services through planning our destination wedding. Everyone was welcoming from the moment we walked in. Jeff had great recommendations and helped us pick the perfect location. They made the entire process from start to finish stress free for myself, my husband, and all of our guests. Always super easy to get a hold of and promptly answered all questions and concerns along the way. We had the most fun we could have had and it wouldn’t have happened without Murdoch Travel. I’m extremely thankful and would happily recommend their services to anyone.

Jeff and his team were able to secure , at the last minute, 4 airplane tickets and car rental package when we had to travel for a family funeral.
Everything was handled professionally and efficiently.
We have frequently used Murdoch Travel in the past and have always been pleased with the exemplary service.
We highly recommend this company.

Jeff + Alex + Ashley were incredibly helpful to answer all our Q&A for a destination wedding we were attending. This was our first time working with a travel agent and they made the process so seamless with their online portal + quick and detailed responses.

They did a great job to send us reminders + ensure we were prepared. Highly recommend!

Alex at Murdoch travel was an absolute pleasure to work with. Alex facilitated our wedding group travel to Costs Rica and I couldn't have asked for a better company or travel agent to work with. As with any wedding planning, there are so many details to think about. Alex had every step of the planning covered and she communicated with our guests in a professional manner. Our guests felt comfortable and confident that their travel plans were taken care of. Alex always answered the phone when guests or I needed answers and she never hesitated to provide us with the best customer service possible. I would highly recommend Murdoch travel and in particular Alex for any travel needs.

I've know Jeff and Ron from a past life, so it was a little easier when choosing which travel agency to book with. Though, even if I didn't know them before they are absolutely FANTASTIC. We did a family vacation for the first time in yeeeeears and honestly I don't remember the process prior being as easy as the team at Murdoch Travel made it be.

We had the pleasure of having Alex being our agent and she was nothing but a pleasure. We did have a small hiccup a few times were AirCanada wanted to make things difficult for us but having the team at Murdoch made our lives easier! They made sure we didn't have to worry about a darn thing and it was completely true.

All I can say, is that all our vacations will be booked through the team at Murdoch Travel. ?

We went to Jamaica and it was absolutely a dream. ♥️

Unfortunately we had a terrible experience with the owner Jeff. We were part of a large group of 35+ people for a wedding anniversary and it was a nightmare experience. We thought that having the owner taking care of our group that we would've been provided with quick, knowledgeable service but it was the opposite. It was like pulling teeth to get an answer or information from Jeff and when he finally responded, it was usually incorrect information. We ended up doing all of the work ourselves and communicating with the other group members because we could no longer trust the information he was providing us. When we arrived at the resort there were multiple booking errors and there was no reservation for my son. We gave Jeff my sons passport and when we arrived at the resort there was no reservation booked for him. How is that even possible We got it sorted with the resort but after a long trip the last thing you need is to spend close to an hour trying to figure out where the booking agent made a mistake.

If you're looking to pay someone to do nothing and do all the work for yourself then Jeff is your guy. We travel every year and unfortunately would never use Jeff ever again. Please reconsider using Murdoch travel for your vacation.
