Did you know that Gin & Tonic Travel was in the news recently? We were featured in PAX news as one of the ten most fascinating travel agencies in Canada for 2025:
Marc Geuzinge & Angela Jeffreys-Geuzinge (Gin & Tonic Travel) – The Fusionists
Some love stories begin with roses. For Marc Geuzinge and Angela Jeffreys-Geuzinge, it started in a high school lunch line in Seoul, Korea in 1983.
Friends first, life took them on different paths—Marc into aviation at KLM in Amsterdam and photography, Angela into insurance and spiritual healing. Decades later, they reconnected in 2007 and decided to combine not only their lives, but their talents, too.

Today, the couple runs Gin & Tonic Travel, a boutique travel agency based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, that’s far more than a catchy name. Since opening in February 2022, they've built a brand that embodies their chemistry, travel expertise, and thoughtful approach to business.
Why Gin & Tonic? It’s more than a cocktail. “We wanted a name that represents us,” the pair explain in a joint statement. “A gin and tonic is made of two great components that, when combined, make something better together.”
And what do people do when they get on the ship, plane or hotel? “They start their vacation with a well-deserved drink,” the couple say.
Just like the two of them, their travel agency blends complementary strengths—Marc’s eye for photography and aviation insight with Angela’s organizational skills and spiritual approach to service.

They’ve even extended the brand identity into a custom-made gin in collaboration with the Liverpool Gin Distillery in the U.K. The agency even has its own theme song that was created by Marc’s son using AI. You can listen to it here (brace yourself, it’s a bop).
The playful, yet professional brand has become a great icebreaker and a unique way to attract clients. “Even people who do not like gin, or drink at all, like the name,” they say.
Gin & Tonic Travel is not your average agency. While they offer traditional cruises and FIT bookings (supported by one affiliate, Samantha, a solo and Disney specialist), the duo is deeply committed to accessibility.
All team members are IBCESS-certified Autism Travel Professionals, enabling them to design travel for neurodiverse individuals and families—an underserved and often overlooked market.
They also delegate smartly. Marc, a pro photographer, handles the visual content, while Angela, drawing from 20 years in insurance, manages finances.
Their most meaningful booking? An Antarctic expedition for a family of five. The destination holds a personal significance—Marc and Angela have been there themselves and describe it as transformative. “It changed us,” they say, “so we were thrilled to help others experience it too.”

When they’re not booking bucket-list trips, they’re sampling gins around the world or sipping tea and coffee at home—though they’re quick to remind people to drink responsibly, and that the "Gin & Tonic" philosophy works just as well for mocktails. It’s all about the blend.
