Questions? We’ve Got You.
No Confusion. Just Straight Answers.
Simple answers for stress-free travel planning.
What makes Handa different from other agencies?
We’re one of Ottawa’s most established agencies, with decades of experience, deep vendor relationships, and a reputation for honest, caring service. We’re not a franchise or call center—we’re a local team committed to our community.
Why should I use a travel advisor instead of booking online myself?
Our clients come to us for peace of mind. Online booking sites leave you on hold for hours when things go wrong. With Handa Travel, you call a local person who knows you and will resolve issues quickly.
Do you charge extra service fees?
For most packages, cruises, and tours, there are no additional fees beyond the supplier’s price. For flights or special requests, we’re always transparent about any fees up front.
What happens if something goes wrong on my trip?
Call us. Unlike online sites, you won’t be left stranded. We step in immediately to fix flight changes, cancellations, or other issues.
