From humble beginnings in 1977, TrailFinders has served its clients continuously for more than thirty years.

In May 2000 we decided that Westboro and TrailFinders were meant for each other. We established our headquarters at the new location and consolidated our other existing travel companies then operating in the Byward Market, the Nepean/Merivale Road area and downtown.

Westboro offers its residents, business owners and visitors a unique environment where the neighbourhood blends harmoniously with small, family-run businesses and without major franchise presence.

TrailFinders is a privately-owned travel company whose owners are world travellers. Our president has personal experience in over 65 countries including some of the world's most interesting ones. He is personally involved with the daily operations of the company on a full-time basis.

Our staff is hand-selected, often from some of Ottawa's best travel companies and are professionals who have visited many of the world's most exotic places.

As well, TrailFinders maintains close relationships with reputable and reliable local and world-wide companies. This allows us to offer our clients the unique and high-value travel products they have come to expect from us.

We continue to follow our traditional approach of providing personalized service to those who require the assistance of travel planning professionals.

Our Office Hours

We provide funds and supplies to the Khumu hill tribe school in the village of Houeisend Kham in Northern Laos near the village of Pakbeng on the north shore of the Mekong River. The gentle people of this small village are unsupported by the Lao government. We visit this school regularly and we continue to encourage our clients to provide whatever assistance they can in the form of US Dollars, school supplies or simply by purchasing TrailFinders travel products and services. Part of every sale goes toward supporting our overseas undertakings.

As well, we support "Friends", an organization doing wonderful work with the street kids of Cambodia, by continuing to patronize Friend's restaurant and shop located in downtown Phnom Penh and encouraging our clients to do so as well. This is a "feel-good" place - give it a try!
