Barrie's Destination Wedding Experts

Exterior Murdoch Travel

Doug Murdoch founded Murdoch Travel in 1989 and soon after we became Barrie's favourite and most reliable travel agency. After more than 20 years of successful vacations, Doug began mentoring Jeff Clarke, one of his agents, to take over the business at his retirement.

Sadly, Doug passed away in June of 2016. Jeff successfully ran the day-to-day operation of Murdoch Travel in the interim until he purchased the agency from the family estate in February 2017. Since then, we've grown and thrived.

We are one of the top agencies in Canada according to Travelsavers, a leading consortium.

And now, in 2025 we're proud to be expanding with our new location in Waterloo. Stay tuned for details!

Murdoch Travel is a proud member of TICO and Travelsavers.

Our network of TICO certified consultants are ready to help you plan your next exciting getaway. To learn more about each of our consultants, please read below.

Now Open in Waterloo! Visit us at 570 University Ave. East
