About Us
Tonic Travel™ creates refreshingly unique itineraries that share local insight to reveal the city beyond the tourist trail. Personalized trip planning services are offered for independent travellers visiting New York, London, Vancouver, Whistler and Toronto.
After twelve years spent working for advertising agencies in Vancouver, New York, London and Toronto, Lisa Crossfield returned to Vancouver and worked in the tourism industry. Her passion for travelling, and for the cities in which she has lived, inspired Lisa to start Tonic Travel.
the idea
The concept was born of the idea that trips are always better when you have the inside track. While living in these vibrant centres, Lisa entertained many visitors who wanted to experience the best of these cities. When she wasn’t able to personally tour her guests around, Lisa did the next best thing and crafted personalized itineraries for her friends and family.
Lisa would list the best places to eat, drink, explore, shop and hang out based on her guest's style and interests. Her family and friends loved these custom-made guides so much that they often reached a large, extended group of travellers. This interest in her ideas sparked Lisa to start Tonic Travel so that others could experience these cities with the inside scoop of a local.
