    What My Clients Say

    The booking was super easy and Julie was willing to give us options. It was fun for me, as I'm usually the trip planner, to have the hotel and outings be a bit of a surprise since I didn't have to agonize over every detail myself beforehand. Thank you so much for helping us to have a wonderful time. I'm certain we'll be working together again!

    - Abby

    Alaska was beyond belief in beauty. The cruise was just right and we never had a hitch in the plans. Skagway, Juneau and Victoria were very friendly towns and Julie's information was spot on.

    - Lizann

    We loved that we didn't have to plan anything! Thanks for being awesome and helping us all figure out phones, flights, tours, etc. It was a great trip and we wish we were still there!

    Julie was a fabulous and informed travel agent! She took care of all of the details, and was very responsive to our numerous questions. She even took care to inform our cruise ship about our anniversary, so we were greeted with balloons, a welcome sign, and a yummy cake. The vacation details were handled expertly and efficiently. Thank you!! 

    - Chuck

    There was nothing I didn't like about working with Julie through the whole process. Our trip was complicated at different points, with several changes due to other family members changing their minds etc. Julie was always very helpful in adjusting our plans. I also appreciated that Julie is cost-conscious relative to what we were looking for. Just an awesome job that she did.

    - GH

    Our journey has been beyond our expectations! So many new friends! Thank you so
    much for the help you have given us. You took several kinks out of our path.
    Look forward to working with you again.
