Gavin Crawford - Profile Picture

Travel has always been, and continues to be, a true passion of mine. I love experiencing the destinations we recommend firsthand and building meaningful relationships with both our partners and clients along the way. There is simply no substitute for personal experience, whether exploring Bhutan, Java, Tanzania, or somewhere entirely new.

Travel has long been both a personal passion and professional calling for Gavin. Having lived between Edinburgh, Singapore, Shanghai, Montreal, and Toronto, he brings a deeply global perspective and culturally immersive approach to the journeys he designs. After completing his degree in International Relations and Mandarin, Gavin began his career in travel through a Shanghai based travel magazine before joining Tully Luxury Travel in 2016. Since then, he has become known for creating highly personalized bespoke experiences shaped by deep destination knowledge, strong global relationships, and firsthand experience.

Gavin has explored 62 countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, the South Pacific, and the Americas, spending nearly four months each year continuing to travel and deepen his understanding of the destinations he recommends. He has experienced safaris throughout Africa’s major wildlife regions and has a particular passion for culturally rich, immersive travel throughout Asia and the Middle East. A passionate linguist who speaks multiple languages including French, Spanish, Italian, Malay, and Mandarin, Gavin believes the most memorable journeys come from genuine connection to a destination and the people within it.

Tully has planned 4 very memorable trips for us. The first was to South America and was greatly impacted by COVID. The Tully team did a tremendous job navigating the many challenges in multiple countries. Their relationships in countries and excellent communication cemented our relationship to them. They have arranged cruises and custom tours for us. The guides they have placed us with are often the highlight of our trips. Cheri takes great care of us for cruises and Gavin on our custom itineraries. We have referred them to many of our friends and family members.

Mark C., Client since 2020

Tully offers extraordinary expertise and service. Working with Cheri and Gavin is much more than planning a trip. It’s creating a memorable, deeply personal, one of a kind experience.

Jane Krolik., Client since 2022

We have used Tully for years for both cruises and land trips, and every experience has been exceptional. Cheri and Gavin are knowledgeable, connected, and consistently deliver outstanding travel experiences. We happily recommend them to friends and family.

Lisa H., Client since 2013

Larry and I want you to know how very wonderful Gavin has been arranging our December/January holiday in South Africa. It will be our first time visiting. Gavin has been truly fabulous arranging every detail. He’s an excellent listener, extremely knowledgeable of South Africa, and goes above and beyond to represent the very BEST of TLT!
