It all began with our family vacation to the UK. I built our 3-week itinerary from arrival in London to departure in Glasgow and everything in between. Being an “old-school” 80s girl who didn’t grow up with a smartphone, I printed it all out and stored it in a handy purple binder. Each page was organized, in order, with the confirmations, coupons, vouchers and tickets we needed for that day.  


The fam may have made fun of me for having it out at the airport before we took off on our adventure but…by about day 3, they were all asking “What’s in the purple binder for today?” We found my purple binder an invaluable tool that made our trip run as smoothly as any guided tour.  


Since then I have designed custom itineraries for the UK, Italy, Portugal, arranged bookings for guided and self-guided tours, and sent clients on a variety of European cruises.

Lisa turned our pandemic holiday into a dream!
Lisa is AMAZING! We went to Florida for March Break. It was a trip we planned 6 months out. Lisa helped out every step of the way. She got us really great deals on airfare. No easy feat during March Break. She looked after our hotels, rental car and special accommodation for a family member in a wheelchair. She was so kind and sympathetic when I made some last minute changes when I thought a disney cabin might not work as well as a disney springs hotel. She was so quick and efficient with making the change and gave us some other tips as well. Lisa has so much experience! She gave us tips on how to navigate the parks with a wheelchair.

One day into our trip, everything went sideways. Disney announced they would be closing the day we we were to be at Epcot. She was in touch with us daily to change our plans and turn our theme park vacation into a beach vacation. It ended up being so much fun and incredibly relaxing. It feels like a dream. Lisa is a travel angel!

Best Travel Agent
Lisa visited us at home and we discussed our travel needs. She took our travel criteria and she presented us with suitable options. After reviewing them we were able to narrow down our needs and she found us the perfect destination, Antigua! The resort was an all inclusive but Lisa went above and beyond by researching potential excursions for us take as well as looking into rental car agencies. Within the Portfolio that Lisa provided we were given flight itineraries, hotel info and vouchers, airport parking vouchers, excursion and car rental info, as well as a thank you gift. It contained all the information she knew we would need. When the world opens up for travel again I will book through Lisa exclusively!

Perfect combination of relaxing and fun
A buddy and I booked a fairly last minute trip with Lisa and she was great. She took care of everything and laid out everything we needed to do before during and after our trip to make it truly stress free.

PORTFOLIO TRAVEL with Lisa Carter
I had worked with Lisa Carter and knew that she was also providing travel agent services through PORTFOLIO TRAVEL. My husband and I had never been on an extended cruise before and I knew that Lisa had so I messaged her. From the start, Lisa provided us with superb service and so much information about cruising and she immediately offered to help with our cruise ship booking and excursions and travel insurance. We didn't have to worry about a thing as Lisa was always one step ahead of us and even sent us a customized Travel Portfolio packed with all of our trip details and extra information. Then Covid-19 happened and one week before our trip, we had to cancel. Lisa took care of this as well and even stayed in contact with the Travel Insurance Firm to ensure that they dealt with our claim in a timely and fair manner. We would not hesitate to recommend Lisa Carter of TRAVEL PORTFOLIO at lisa@portfoliotravel.ca for all of your travel needs.
