"Julie is fantastic. Takes care of all the details. Was especially helpful when OUR early morning flight out was canceled in the middle of the night. She helped us with all the details for rescheduling our vacation so we had the time we needed at each destination."

"Working with Julie Smothers has been a pleasure, as always. Every detail covered, every concern solved, every question answered fully--that's Julie. While in Peru, we knew that, if a problem arose, all we had to do was call her. Thankfully, that never happened! Her planning was seamless!"

"Great! [Emily] guided us through the planning process very well, giving us great options and helping us stay within our budget. This is the second trip we have planned with her and we will definitely use her again!"

“Emily is a fabulous travel agent! We explained what we wanted to see and experience and she made it happen. Our trip came out exactly as planned! We would do it all over again without hesitation. Will definitely ask Emily to help with future travel :)”
