About Us

Jeff Barlow fell into the travel business quite by accident - as a tour guide taking ‘busloads of Brits’ to Europe. After stints with a coach operator, an airline and a small charter flight operation he came to Canada and, a couple of years later, started his own wholesale travel company specialising in custom made group and individual arrangements.
Over the intervening years this fascination with custom-made travel has continued: Individuals and families by land sea and air to all parts of the globe: Groups of all types from vacuum cleaner salesmen to corporate executives on company junkets; from water colour artists to high-school rugby teams; from 100-voice choirs to a dozen skating enthusiasts. And we must not forget a couple of private aircraft 35-day round the world tours.
Settling in the Kingston area a few years ago he teamed up with The Travel Broker & Cruise Centre, a highly creative operation that has been around since 1977, headed up by a very dynamic lady, Debbie Lloyd.
Over the years The Travel Broker & Cruise Centre have grown through repeat and referral clientele who have enjoyed those special travel experiences that the company has created (and that their clients have come to expect). Whether clients are looking to take a tour, a cruise, a family holiday, plan the perfect wedding, honeymoon, anniversary, special event or business plans or customized personal travel adventure, The Travel Broker & Cruise Centre can help. In the mid 1980's The Travel Broker began building and escorting special interest tours for small groups who wanted personal attention and a more intimate experience of the history, culture, food, and the people of specific regions.
So whatever your travel needs JB&A Custom Holidays and The Travel Broker & Cruise Centre are here to help you. We look forward to talking to you.
