European, Caribbean, Ocean & River cruises
I am a UK born National and moved to the USA in October 2006 with my husband. Since then we have had two beautiful children who are our pride and joy and in March 2017 we became US Citizens. I have a varied working background that has included many client focused roles and through these opportunities I have worked closely with people and built strong and lasting relationships.
I decided in May 2017, to go back to studying and become an independent Travel Consultant. I have always longed to work for myself and be in control of my own destiny. I love spending time with my family, travelling... obviously, and I am a huge Football fan!
So why work with me? I conduct my research and planning as if I am purchasing a trip for myself. I make multiple changes to fit my high expectations before I discuss my initial findings. I strive every day to ensure each and every one of my customers are completely satisfied. I am 110% client focused and I am a stickler for details, its the Virgo in me! I specialize in luxury destinations and ocean World cruises.
The most rewarding part of working in the travel industry is helping others fulfill their travel dreams. I would love to assist you in planning your next relaxing, stress free, you time vacation!

Never Travel Without Insurance
We worked with Jules for our trip home for Xmas holidays. Not only did she give us the best deal for our flights but also gave us various options for travel insurance which we always take out when travelling. On this occasion, my daughter and husband were taken ill just before our return journey and Jules was contactable throughout the extended time we were unable to fly to offer support and guidance of what we needs to do. Once our Insurance Claim was filed, Jules continued to give us regular updates as to each step of the process through to settlement and payment of our claim. From start to finish of your trip, Jules is with you every step of the way, even when things don’t go according to plan !

Best Vacation Ever!
Jules was a pleasure to work with in planning our first family vacation outside of the country. We had such a peace of mind knowing she had all the details covered. During the planning process she provided us with lots of options to choose from within our budget. She was always timely to respond and answer our questions. She checked in with us as our vacation time neared with lots of excursion options. While we were on vacation she was easily accessible when we wanted to make a change in our transfer back to the airport. Our kids told us this was the "best vacation ever" and we have to agree. We would highly recommend Jules and we look forward to working with her again on our next vacation.

Will book again with Derive for summer vacation!
<br/><br/><br/>Jules booked our all inclusive resort in Punta Cana this Spring Break. Jules went above and beyond to ensure we received what we wanted in terms of bedding configurations as we were travelling with our 14 year old son. She printed out all the documents required and made us a Travel packet, organized round trip transfers and even contacted the resort directly and organized a welcome gift and note from her company Dérive Vacations to be on our room on arrival. She was so thoughtful, handled all kinds of little details including reminding us to make sure passports were updated. She was a pleasure to work with. It was an effortless process from our end, and we were very grateful for her support. I would recommend Dérive Vacations as a 5 star company to work with for all of your Travel needs!<br/><br/>

Amazing trip!
Jules, I cannot thank you enough for your help and expertise in planning our trip to the Bahamas.. I had never been on a cruise before and you did an incredible job helping me navigate through the choices and you looked at all of the options for our last minute Mother/Daughter vacation. You listened to what we were looking for and your suggestions were spot on! We had a great trip!<br/><br/>I cannot thank you enough and will definitely look for your help to plan our next vacation.

ULTIMATE FAMILY VACATION
Jules booked us the ULTIMATE kid friendly FUN vacation. She was patient with us as we tried to figure out the best destination staying within our budget. This is by far the most memorable of vacations we have had as a family. We will be coordinating next year's trip ASAP with Jules.

Amazing trip and wonderful planning!
Jules was amazing and I highly recommend her for your travel planning needs. Our family of 9 traveled to Disney World and had an amazing time. As you would expect, there is a lot of planning involved with a Disney trip and Jules helped with all of the details, which made the planning process seamless and stress free for our family. We truly appreciated the communication throughout the planning process, while we were on our trip and after our trip. Jules went above and beyond and she provided excellent service. We couldn’t have done it without her!

First family cruise
Jules has been such a pleasure to work with in planning our first family cruise. From initial planning of choosing our destination ship and room, scheduling of extras such as beverage package and waterpark, and accommodating all the changes due to covid cancellation and rescheduling, she has happily handled all of it for us confidently, while keeping us informed. Any questions or concerns she is quick and responsive to get resolution. I recommend Jules for vacation planning, I feel she truly values her clients and it shows.

Our 1st Cruise- Special Memories!
This was our family's first time using a travel agent and it made planning our vacation so easy. Jules was so quick to respond to all my questions, she made phone calls to ask questions (so I didn't have to wait on hold to speak with them), and pre-checked us in. She prepared a travel packet with all important information we would need, copies of passports, and included a travel checklist for packing. The week of traveling she texted to check in to make sure we were ready to travel and to answer any last minute questions. Jules is amazing and goes the extra mile to make sure your vacation goes smoothly. We highly recommend her! Thank you Jules for being phenomenal!

Norwegian Cruise handicapped
absolutely recommend Jules Lewis at Derive Vacations! My family (5) booked a Norwegian Cruise and Jules was great at giving advice and planning. The most helpful was the fact that we were traveling with my mother-in-law, who is handicapped, and being able to meet her needs. We had an excursion that she was able to go on to the beach and Jules helped with getting a wheelchair for her at the port. She also has an app that put EVERYTHING in that was so handy. It included each days itinerary and reminders for us so we weren't searching through emails or papers (which is what we are normally doing)! Jules made our trip worry-free and flawless! Thanks again!

20th Wedding Anniversary Trip
Jules is so easy to work with when booking your travel needs. She always goes above and beyond to find the best location and accommodations to meet your needs. She found the best excursions to explore and even requested a room upgrade to celebrate our anniversary. She also surprised us with a gift of champagne and a Key West travel guide prior to our trip. She took care of everything so all we had to do was enjoy our trip. I can’t imagine using any one else for our future travel needs. She’s one of a kind!

The best of the best!
Jules is a wonderful travel agent. She got us a great deal on our trip AND helped me secure reasonable travel insurance. She was so kind and thoughtful, sending me frequent check in and reminders before the trip to make sure we had updated passports, etc. And she put together a really nice care package for my kids with games and snacks to entertain them on the flight. I would definitely recommend her.

Christmas break trip 2019
Jules is a great travel agent. We booked our cruise with Jules and she took care of every detail. She dropped a goody bag for our kids (which was great for our road trip) and had goodies eating for the adults once we arrived on the ship. She checked in with us repeatedly to make sure we had everything we needed. Our trip was seamless and very enjoyable thanks to the hard work by Jules.

Dream Vacation
Right from the start, she asked about our priorities and budget and helped develop a framework of what was to become a dream vacation. Jules was great to work with and created a trip of a lifetime for me and my family. She listened to my ideas and made suggestions that truly enhanced our trip (better to stay in Sorrento than Positano, stay in smaller hotels near transport and very walkable, etc). She took a very loose outline of our must-sees and dos and helped create an itinerary that catered to each member of our family. As an added bonus, we were greeted in each city (London, Paris, Sorrento, Rome) with a small personal gift from her, welcoming us to the area. She was available to us by text or message the entire time we were abroad and smoothed over any hiccups we encountered with ease, allowing us the freedom to enjoy ourselves while she attended to the details. The memories we created were truly priceless, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Jules again and recommend her services.

Jules has booked 2 trips for me and I have been absolutely impressed! She is quick to respond and has been more than helpful with guiding me to the best resorts and excursions. I had a situation where my airline canceled my return flight- Jules jumped in to help get us home and get money back from the canceled flight. I highly recommend Jules!!

THE very best travel agent!
Jules has an incredible work ethic and attention to detail. We used her for 2 cruises on 2 different cruise lines, with a road trip to the FL Keys between the cruises. We have never met her in person as she was able to do everything for us through phone, email and text. She quoted us super prices that we weren't able to find on our own, and she was focused on crossing every t and dotting every i. Now I don't believe we could ever book another cruise without Jules Lewis. She's the BEST!

KK's 40th Birthday Bash!
With this being our first international travel with Covid restrictions, Jules went above and beyond making this trip amazing. We felt completely confident that Jules was going to be able to handle any curve ball that came our way; and a few were thrown at us. She was able to accommodate some unforeseen travel changes with the resort as well as the airlines. She made what should have been an extremely stressful situation, a breeze. She was very much on top of all communications and was a joy to work with.

Wonderful Family Vacation!
It was such a pleasure working with Jules to plan our recent family vacation to Mexico! She took time talking with us to find out what we were looking for and researched and identified multiple options that met our needs. Jules was consistently quick to follow up with us to answer questions, she made sure we had all of our necessary travel documents, and walked us through the immigration process so we would know what to expect. When we had an unexpected situation arise that may have caused us to cancel the trip, Jules was incredibly helpful in exploring our options and helping us work through that situation. Her personalization and attention to detail is second to none and I highly recommend Jules to anyone needing assistance with travel planning.

Family Vacation
Jules booked our October Universal Studios trip. It was a birthday trip for our twin girls. Jules looked into activities, hotels and ticket options, so that we could decide on the best options for us. Once booked, she continued to follow up as new offerings became available. When it was time for our trip, she hand delivered gift bags filled with travel activities and snacks for my girls. Birthday balloons and well wishes greeted us as we entered our hotel room. She also went above and beyond to make sure hotel construction would not impact our stay. Jules made sure everything was perfect!

Best Mother and Son Trip Ever
In August, my son and I went on a mother/son trip to London to celebrate his 10th birthday. Having never traveled to London myself, I knew I needed to put this trip into the hands of a professional, and that was Jules!<br/><br/>When I contacted Jules, I was working full time and preparing to move to a new city. I had little time to plan a trip . Jules helped to make the process extremely simple. We gave her a few ideas of what we would like to see and do and she handled the rest!<br/><br/>She even helped us surprise our son with a trip to Paris.<br/><br/>Jules not only helped us plan, she was also there for us throughout the entire trip. She checked in with us daily and we could contact her any time. <br/><br/>One of the things I love most about working with Jules is that she wants nothing more than for you to have an amazing trip. She was just as excited about our trip as we were. Words cannot truly express what she did for us....it wasn't just a trip that Jules planned, it was memories that will last a li

European Family Vacay of a LIFETIME!
Working with Jules has been the most personalized travel planning we have ever experienced; working for 9 months to plan an amazing 15 day, multi country trip to Europe, which included a week long Norwegian cruise. Jules was careful to understand the travel needs of our children and my mother traveling with us. She researched many small personalized tours at reasonable prices everywhere we would visit, including port stops, allowing us to choose the ones best for us, making changes as we asked. Nothing was too much of an ask for Jules! While traveling, she was available to help with confirmations, cancellations and changes as needed. Upon our return, she wanted to hear all about our experience, and she even helped us get our emergency medical experience reimbursed through the travel insurance. Jules gets 5 plus stars from our family! She is a sweetheart, a pleasure to work with, and a committed and reliable agent. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Pura Vida! Good Life!
Pura Vida is a saying that is used by Coast Ricians which means good life! That is exactly what we experienced while on our vacation to Costa Rica. Jules booked every detatail of our trip and it was more than we could have asked for! Originally Costa Rica was not on our list of places to go but we are glad we listened to Jules and decided to give this beautiful country a try. From the volcano, to the waterfall, and the abundance of wildlife Coasta Rica is a place you have to visit yourself to experience the true beauty. You won't be disappointed if you decide to travel to this beautiful country and book though Jules!

Jules, you really kept us well informed on all of our deadlines and key items to consider on our trip. Thanks for putting together the family itinerary, so we, our kids, and our grandkids could all be aware of events that we had in common, and those that we might like to consider. Even the suggested packing list was very helpful. We had a wonderful time and made some lifelong memories. Thanks again for all you help with coordinating this family trip.

Our 1st Cruise - Amazing Trip !!
Jules helped us plan our first cruise with a large family that also included special celebrations. She provided us with tons of information, helped us pick the cruise ship, answered all our questions and concerns. Her attention to detail and regular follow ups to make sure we stay on track made it so much easier for us to plan for the cruise. Without her support, we would really be lost. We had an amazing time on the cruise with lots of wonderful memories to bring back home and we look forward to more in the future.

I haven't used a travel agent in years, but after a recommendation from a friend we reached out to Jules. From the very beginning she was easy to work with. Very quick to respond to all of my questions, and provided lots of advice and recommendations. Since we booked a cruise, she always sent reminders of deadlines. She definitely took care of us and made us feel important. I will always use Jules for all of our future vacation planning.

Epic trip to Hotel Xcaret Mexico
My family of 5 (kids ages 21, 19, 16) was looking to try an all-inclusive beach resort. We were open to any beach destination. Jules did a PHENOMENAL job researching and presenting us with numerous options. She went above and beyond spending hours talking over the phone discussing what each hotel/destination had to offer and which fit our families wants/needs the best. She hit it out of the park with Hotel Xcaret Mexico in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. It was the perfect mix of relaxation, beauty, and adventure for my family. We had s blast! I highly recommend Jules Lewis for planning your next vacation!

Jules was wonderful in helping us plan our trip to Europe. She encouraged us by telling us how much time we should spend in each city make sure we could enjoy ourselves and not be rushed. She helped us plan a totally customized trip and found amazing places for us to stay in each city. Her taste was impeccable with the locations and the attention to detail. She put our itinerary in her app that was a Godsend for keeping us organized. We were very pleased with every aspect of our trip. She made sure every pickup/drop off and every excursion was perfectly planned. Her knowledge of making sure we left time to rest and not too many excursions was a perfect recipe for success! We highly recommend Jules as your travel agent! You won’t be disappointed!

The trip of a lifetime
Jules was more than a travel agent for our family, she was a genie making our dreams come true. We had a big list of goals and a strict budget to meet them and Jules delivered on everything and more. Our trip wasn't the trip of a lifetime, it was 5 trips in one. She coordinated our travel for my myself, my wife, and our 10 yo daughter between Rome/Naples (Italy), Crete/Mykonos/Athens (Greece), Kusadasi/Istanbul (Turkey), Paris (France), Montreux (Switzerland), and Garmisch-Partenkirchen/Munich/Schwangau (Germany) all in a 2 week window. What's more, our trip was supposed to happen in 2022 but had to be postponed because we caught Covid before we were scheduled to leave. Without missing a beat or batting an eye, Jules recoordinated everything. She took care of it all without us having to worry about a thing or lift a finger. We couldn't be more grateful or recommend Jules more. These will be memories our family will cherish for a lifetime.

Jules is so helpful from the very start! We weren’t exactly sure what island we wanted to travel. She provided great recommendations and once we had chosen she was able to recommend hotels as well. She helps coordinate everything from transportation, restaurant reservations as well as activities and excursions. The thing we enjoyed most was the app she created for us that had all our tickets and info linked for each day of our trip! She is also so quick to respond via email or phone which helped once we had questions a day prior to our travel.

My family had our best vacation yet with Jules as our travel advisor. It was our first trip out of the country and with Jules' detailed planning and support, we had no worries. When we had an unexpected delay at the arrival airport, Jules was quick to respond and not a second of our amazing vacation was missed. We had special circumstances for our family and Jules found us the perfect resort to fit everyone's needs. We look forward to working with Jules again and wouldn't consider anyone else for planning our next family adventure.

Evans European Adventure
Jules did a fabulous job planning my first trip to Europe. It has always been my husbands dream to take his mother to Europe so we had 3 people in our group. I first contacted Jules right before covid to start planning the trip and didn't actually go until September 2022. We had a lot of different restrictions with activity and Jules did a fabulous job planning excursions and booking travel and lodging based on this request. I would not have even known how to start planning this and she walked me through each and every step. I provided her a budget and a vision and she ran with it from there. While we were in Italy she was in constant contact and always seemed to be watching to make sure made all of our travel connections and excursions. Give her a call if you want a seamless and amazing vacation!

Amazing Tropical Vacation
Jules was super accommodating and willing to go the extra mile to make sure our trip was planned the best way for our family. She researched (multiple times) the best prices and packages to fit our needs. She’s also super friendly and understanding!

Vacation was even better than we imagined!
We could not have had a better experience, from beginning to end Jules was by our side! She makes great suggestions, has an enormous village of experts to refer to (as our trip was a bit more "unusual"), and made the entire experience a joy. We always felt like we had someone in our corner - while we were home and especially while we were away! From a super detailed app she created with all our flight information, to a what's app thread to stay connected while we traveled. She is simply awesome to work with - literally our trip to Galapagos could not have been better or gone any more smoothly! Grateful for the memories Jules, thank you and we look forward to planning our next adventure!

Best Family Trip to Punta Cana!
Working with Jules was amazing! We have never worked with a travel agent before, she provided so many options, recommendations, and helped us plan our family trip of our dreams. She took time to explain our options, and made sure that we had the insurances that we needed in case we needed to postpone our trip or make adjustments due to Covid. This allowed us to feel excited and confident that we would have the trip we so eagerly wanted to provide for our family. Jules even added some personized pieces to our trip by creating an app with our itinerary and all our details, dropping off a travel goodie bag, and so much more. We would highly recommend using Jules, her expertise, recommendations, and support helped us have the best family trip we have ever had! Thank you Jules!

Life saving App included
Jules makes the arduous process of planning a vacation much easier and less stressful. She asks what the family interests are and sends lots of links in emails of possible excursions and books all needed extras such as excursions and rental cars. She also puts all of your itinerary and needed information in a life saving app with all vouchers and electronic info included in 1 place. She goes the extra mile to make sure the customer is happy and is prompt with taking care of details. She is also conscientious about explaining the fine print of potential problems dealing with Covid issues. I will never plan a family vacation without her again. Whether it’s a complicated multiple destination or simple trip- she makes it easy and takes the stress away!

Jules is Amazing!!!
Jules was fantastic and helping us plan our trip to Seattle and then onto a cruise to Alaska. She kept in touch on a regular basis to help us make advised decisions on each step of our trip. She supplied so much helpful information! Jules was able to get us great pricing for all the parts of the trip. Cruise, ground excursions, hotel, etc. We unfortunately had to have a shortened trip due to medical reasons and Jules has been there every step of the way with the travel insurance company paperwork and submitting a claim. I highly recommend travel insurance!!! It has helped us recoup tens of thousands of dollars in expenses. Jules can assist with you selecting the right policy. Cant wait to plan our next adventure with Jules!!

Dream Honeymoon
We contacted Jules back in July when we found flights to Turks & Caicos and ask her to help us plan our honeymoon stay at Beaches by Sandals. Even though it was very last minute with booking everything she was super helpful and worked with us even outside of her regular business hours. Jules helped us pick the best dates for the best price and we were so excited. Leading up to our trip she would send us updates on COVID info and even added a packing list for our beachy vacation. We had some trouble with TCI Authorization and Jules was willing to call them at 5 AM CST to see what she could do to sort out the problem. We had the absolute best honeymoon ever. Jules sent us some chocolate covered strawberries to help us in our celebration. Everything was perfect!! She even helped our friends plan a surprise candlelit dinner for us. Overall, Jules went above and beyond to help us plan and enjoy our honeymoon.

Marvelous Time in Costa Rica!
Working with Jules was a breeze! She helped us narrow down our destination and walked us through every step of the process which was especially helpful in these times. We are so thankful we had her and didn’t plan our trip on our own. She was invaluable.

Escape to Hawaii
Jules is the best! She was extremely helpful as she helped us plan our recent trip to Maui. She was proactive in finding activities with great deals, booked them for us and was a trusted liaison in dealing with the tour companies. She called and confirmed our tours several times given the uncertainty around COVID. She will do just about anything to make sure her clients are taken care of and having the time of their lives while on vacation! Our trip was a thousand times more relaxing and enjoyable because of her guidance and help! She's so good, we're using her for our upcoming Disney trip, too!

Jules saved us thousands, during a pandemic!
Jules has been a lifesaver! She was incredibly responsive to all of my many questions when organizing a school reunion cruise and making reservations for our family reunion cruise. Jules handled COVID cancellations for both cruises, and because of her, our full refund was returned, saving us thousands of dollars! We were hesitant to pay more on our cruise balances, hoping the cruise line would cancel the trips and refund our payments before we lost them due to (strategic!) non-payment. Just when we resigned ourselves to losing those funds, Jules secured an extension. TWO days later, the cruise line canceled. Jules (bless her!) followed up to ensure I received a full refund. She went above and beyond what I expected. We are incredibly grateful for Jules' dedication to her clients, even during a pandemic. I feel confident in her ability to plan extraordinary experiences (coming up - Europe!), knowing that she has our back should the world (literally) erupt in chaos. Thanks, Jules!

Jules made our dream vacation a reality
Thank goodness for Jules!!! My husband and I recently visited Italy. It was our first trip to Europe and our first time being away from our children for so long, so I really wanted everything to be perfect. A friend recommended Jules, and I’m so glad that she did. This was by far the best trip I’ve ever taken. Everything went so smoothly. I had a few things in mind that i wanted to see and do. Jules covered everything on my wish list and booked lots of other great experiences and tours. She also handled all of our transportation needs, which was such a relief. I know that our vacation would not have been anywhere near as amazing and seem less if we hadn’t worked with Jules.

Top 3 Trip of My Lifetime!
Jules was recommended to me by a few of my friends including one who had just returned from a trip that she helped plan that looked incredible. I reached out to her to see if she could help me with planning a summer vacation for our family of 4. We discussed our budget, dates and a few ideas that I had both domestic and internationally in detail. She took that conversation and gave me several options to explore a few days later that met every need we discussed. She took the time through each option and assure we understood pricing, accommodation and even share ideas for excursions we could do while there. We decided to go to the Hyatt Ziva in Punta Cana which offered everything on our wish list and more!! No details were missed including transportation as well as assuring we received a rollaway bed for my son to sleep in. In the days leading up to our trip, she shared an app with us that had all of the details on our resort, transportation, excursions and flight details. AMAZING!!

The Honeymoon of my Dreams
Jules was amazing since the very beginning, she was always available for any question we had, always listening to our requests and finding options that fitted our budget. During the trip she was all the time making sure everything went good and on top of things. We went to Barcelona, Rome and Santorini and she planned all the transfers perfectly. <br/><br/>Great customer service and we are already planning our next international trip with her.

Jules was amazing to work with on our first Disney cruise! She answered all of my (many) questions quickly and accurately. In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable, she was such a joy to work with having a bright personality, you can tell she genuinely loves what she does! I will absolutely work with Jules again on our next big trip!

Baby-moon!
Jules planned our babymoon to the DR and it was wonderful! Not having to worry about the flights, travel to/from the resort or any other detail was amazing. She made sure to think through things that I could/could not do pregnant. Even though our vacation was at the same time as her family vacation to Mexico she still answered a question I had during our trip. Could not recommend more!

Holiday Escape
Jules booked our Christmas/ New Years cruise for us. We had some changes that needed to be made after booking and she handled it for us. Covid protocols were always changing and Jules kept us up to date. She also kept us on track with what needed to be done prior to our trip. Which in my world is a great help! Anytime I had a concern she was always quick to respond. She happened to be cruising on the same ship as us a week before and left us feedback the day she left. We will definitely use her services again.

Incredible Trip to Portugal
Jules is fabulous! She is wonderful with communication and she has an amazing ability to put herself in the traveler's shoes, thinking of things you and your family would enjoy doing. She is detail-oriented and checked everything multiple times for us in order to ensure that it was perfect. As our trip was approaching, she checked in on us with some reminders and tips to get us excited. As soon as we returned, she wanted to know how everything went and was eager to hear about our adventures. I can't recommend her highly enough. The time, energy and care she put into helping our family have a fantastic vacation far surpassed our expectations.

Perfect for our anniversary (and we saved money!)
Jules is awesome!! We live in New Zealand, but know Jules from our time in the States. We never used a travel agent before because we thought we had to pay them or we could find better options online and honestly only asked her for advice to be supportive friends. WOW, we will never go back to not asking her first! She gave us a rundown of awesome resort choices and once we chose the one we wanted, she was able to save us hundreds of dollars over what we could find online. We’ve referred quite a few friends to her since then who also didn’t realise that travel agents are free to us and are able to find so much more than we can! Jules specifically LOVES what she does and is so dedicated to the people she helps. She gives so much of her time to make sure her clients find just-the-right-thing for their family and circumstances. You will definitely be happy with your choice to go with Jules!!

Brilliant Family Holiday
Jules is a travel agent that actually LISTENS to what you want from your holiday. Not only does she listen but she constantly monitors the holiday that you have chosen and if there are new deals/discounts that apply to your trip, she will call you and see if you are interested in them. Thoroughly recommend booking holidays through her. We have already booked our next holiday with her - Jules is very knowledgeable on cruises too. <br/>

Carefree trip
From the very beginning of planning Jules was very quick in responding and listened to all our wants and needs. Leading up to the trip she kept us in the loop and made sure we had everything ready that we needed ( including a packing list)! While on our trip she answered questions and made sure we had everything we needed. After departure she contacted the host when a message needed to be relayed. Even with two young children in tow it was by far the most care free “vacation” we have had in 6 years.

Jules did a fabulous job planning my first trip to Europe. I...t has always been my husbands dream to take his mother to Europe so we had 3 people in our group. I first contacted Jules right before covid to start planning the trip and didn't actually go until September 2022. We had a lot of different restrictions with activity and Jules did a fabulous job planning excursions and booking travel and lodging based on this request. I would not have even known how to start planning this and she walked me through each and every step. I provided her a budget and a vision and she ran with it from there. While we were in Italy she was in constant contact and always seemed to be watching to make sure made all of our travel connections and excursions. Give her a call if you want a seamless and amazing vacation! Read More
