Hi,
my name is Karen Leslie. After graduating from a Travel and
Tourism course in 1977, I worked as a tour escort with both
student groups and seniors, travelling across North America.
In 1980, I settled down to work in a retail travel agency,
and then joined Ellison Tours and the group department in
1989. Here I have found my niche, and I enjoy working with
my clients on a continuing basis. I truly feel that my personal
service and flexibility, give me an edge. Our tours are customized
to meet the needs of each individual group, with itinerary
as well as payment schedules. I would like to extend a sincere
thank you to all of my clients for their continued loyalty,
and I look forward to working with the new clients that visit
my home page and give me a call. My travel experience includes
North America, London, England, Amsterdam, Paris, Switzerland,
Germany, the Algarve in Portugal, Prague, Vienna, Jamaica and a Caribbean Cruise.
The internet is giving us the world at our fingertips. Let
me share it with you.

Over the years Karen has gotten to know our preferences. I
felt that I got to know the city in a way that makes me want

good food and enough "free" time.
