History

Established in 2006.

Dave and Toni Bellin, former Silicon Valley executives, traveled extensively for business and pleasure all over the world. The Bellins also completed two home exchanges, one in England and one in Australia and were featured on the popular British television show «Home to Home.»

As travel consumers, the Bellins found that most travel agencies offered minimal services, didn’t provide meaningful advice, and had limited or no actual travel experience. Many online travel companies operate from remote call centers, are limited in travel knowledge, overcharge for travel insurance and have «hidden» booking and cancellation fees.

With cruises and destination leisure becoming the new wave of vacation travel, the Bellins decided to pursue their passion by sharing their expertise. In July 2006, the Bellins launched Sunrunner Travel, specializing in vacation travel including independent and group travel by land and sea.
