Having whistled through five States in nine days I can say that the Deep South is a great place to visit with its own unique culture and history, as distinct as other regions in the US.

It was our first family holiday with a seven month old baby and we couldn’t have chosen a better villa. Mags booked the whole package (villa, flight and car rental) - it couldn’t have been easier for us! The location is perfect, with the most amazing views over Skiathos Town and the infinity pool is just fab!

Thank you for arranging our special holiday to Italy - a truly memorable holiday and birthday celebration. The highlight of the trip was definitely the opera in Verona, spectacular doesn't do it justice, it was out of this world! Vatican city on my birthday was amazing and the restaurant you sourced for my birthday meal, was definitely by far the best meal of the whole holiday.

There were many highlights for us but visiting the beautiful old Corfu town by boat as well as dining at Lawrence Durrell’s house were some of many special moments.

The highlight of the holiday was the villa itself - Hvar was a perfect destination for us . The pool at the villa was our favourite place to be as the weather was very warm and fairly humid. We found some really great restaurants from pizza to excellent local food - not to mention the local wine all was delicious.

It was the holiday of a lifetime that we hoped for. Every day there was something special -San Francisco, Yosemite, seeing killer whales in Monterey Bay, Big Sur and finally theme parks and Hollywood studios in LA. Even our quieter day at Morro Bay was memorable because we got so close to the Elephant seals at San Simeon.

Due to an unfortunate incident where our previous holiday didn’t work out, we needed to work with someone we could trust.

Every aspect of the holiday was taken care from accommodation to car hire and even organising special assistance with the airline.

Jules advised me over the phone about which hotel she thought would be best for us, we took her advice and I was blown away with just how great the hotel and the holiday was - She really knew what she was talking about.

6 Aching legs and 6 tired feet but 3 huge smiles all the way home. Our New York trip, to celebrate Steve's 50th birthday was spectacular, made possible by the planning and attention to detail by Mags from Travel with Jules. We loved the view from the top of the Empire State, wept at the 9/11 memorial, shopped till we dropped on 5th avenue and chilled out in Central Park. A holiday to remember and treasure forever.

Understanding the client brief is key and both Mags and Julie do this very well. The ease of booking is great and nothing appears too much trouble. Quick response rate and friendly service. Menorca was suggested to us by Travel with Jules and they came up trumps! Our James Villa was exceptional, and larger than we even anticipated! The place was secluded and private yet only two mins from facilities and amenities. This was our third villa holiday booking with Travel With Jules and we are never disappointed.

We had a fantastic week in the Lake District. The weather was glorious, it only rained on one day with a slight shower as we were climbing Coniston Old Man but apart from that we were dry and even had blue skies (see photo) !! The cottage was also ideal, great location - co-op within 100 yds as well as a selection of pubs and cafes in the village and plenty of walks within a short drive - it was also very well set out and very tastefully decorated. I would highly recommend it and would probably go back.

We spent a week in Sicily this July all organised by Travel by Jules. This is our 4th holiday with them and as always everything has been great. Sicily is a beautiful island, everything was well organised by Jules and Mags as expected. We received some information about Sicily before hand (thank you so much for the map) and once there it felt stress free the resort chosen was very good and we took advantage of the free bus trip to Taormina. Thank you Jules and Mags it was a great holiday.

We had a fabulous holiday to Corfu thank you! We opted for Kalami Bay in Corfu (home of The Durrells) Things we enjoyed most included; The little bay next to Kalami – Kouloura – had a great little beach and top taverna (Taverna Kouloura); Driving off the beaten track and exploring the little mountain villages, like Sinardes. High points provided spectacular views; Reading two Durrell books overlooking The White House!
Thank you for making it happen we will come back to Travel With Jules again.

As a very busy local business owner and family man I do not have the time or energy to flick through hundreds of High Street Travel agents brochures. This is why I use Julie and Mags at Travel with Jules. These lovely ladies ask questions and talk to you to find what your "perfect" holiday would be. Having booked several times with them they now know what we as a family enjoy doing on holiday.

Our whole trip was expertly planned which was amazing considering we were in a different hotel every night. In fact every hotel was superb, this wasn't just the facilities and breakfasts but the first class attention we got at each one. This wasn't luck, it was your expert knowledge that meant we were in the best locations on our route. There is nothing we would change from our trip apart from going again…it was perfect!! Thank you.

You picked some great places to stay we would probably not have found ourselves. Your local knowledge came in very handy when planning the itinerary - we would not otherwise have known the best direction to do the Pacific Highway nor thought of going to Laguna beach which turned out to be a brilliant place. Also the advice to get FastPass tickets for Universal. You made the booking of the flights and car very easy and those bits of the journey went very smoothly.
Davies Family

It was amazing and everything went like clockwork. The highlight was Noes Nest. I can't really describe how good it was. Breakfast was immense with such variety, taken in a large kitchen round the table with whichever guests were up at that time. The property is is a good area only 10 minutes from the city centre via the DART (tube), with loads of cool shops and bars within walking distance. It really was perfect. Alcatraz was immense. So in summary you nailed it again!

Excellent communication about travel details, quick response to any questions and good advice about which trip would suit us best as I was finding it a minefield of possibilities!

Thank you so much for your hard work putting together our fabulous three generation family safari to Northern Tanzania. We loved everything and the highlight was our private Serengeti Camp. We all had an AMAZING time at our private camp in the Serengeti. Our hosts at the camp were all fantastic. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife and the migration was something else, we were surrounded 360 degrees by wildebeest!

The trip was amazing! Everything went smoothly - pre travel we received great service from Travel With Jules - Timely communication, great information. All worked well. Nellim Wilderness Lodge was amazing. The staff and the Nordic reps (Katie and Chloe) were fabulous with the children. If I had to pick two highlights it would be the Husky sledging and the Northern Lights.

Had a great time with my brother and his family at Al Aqah thank you! They upgrade us and we had our own little wing of the 19th floor! The hotel was excellent. Great quality of food. The beach front restaurant Gonu was great for us. Proper 5 star service. I strongly recommend you book everyone on the dine around all inclusive as paying directly for drinks was ridiculously expensive!

The holiday was great, and different from our usual - was great not to have a car! Some of it surprised us how much we liked things we hadn't tried! Villa Anatoli was just beautiful. Quiet, relaxed, in a brilliant location where we could walk to the beach and the harbour for evening meals and the view blew us all away. A lovely part of the the chilling out process. We are totally refreshed and had a great break - is it too early to plan for next summer?!

Food, rooms, staff, beach all fab (might need jelly shoes to get in water as slightly rocky at waters edge (we managed) but once in the water sandy bottom and beautifully clear and lovely to swim in. We popped into town a couple of nights all very pleasant and nice atmosphere. A great holiday thank you xxx

Well what a fantastic time we have had in Majorca. We can not thank Jules and Mags enough. The team at Travel with Jules do not just 'do holidays' they create memories and priceless family time together. Our days were relaxed and we made full use of the car hire exploring the island. In the evenings we walked along the promenade in Port de Pollenca we had our evening meals in different local restaurants. I could not find fault with any of our package booked with Travel with Jules. The personal service from Jules and Mags was a highlight and the build up and excitement!

I have always been an independent traveller booking the holidays by myself as I found it was the only way to get what I wanted, however with Jules, I have found she has a great understanding of what customers need and since she organised our USA road trip last year I have not considered the DIY option any more. Jules and Mags managed to find a perfect holiday again, within the budget, leaving the time for me to plan what I want to do during the holiday.We loved being able to discover the island at leisure, this was the best part of our holiday. The information we received in advance (booking pack with maps, leaflets) was extremely helpful....

Excellent driving infrastructure and incredibly good value for money. In hindsight we should have had a bigger car!

We loved Vancouver and did the whale watching cruise and float plane ride.

Nellim Wilderness Lodge was everything we wanted from this holiday and was worth the extra travelling to get to.

Our holiday was absolutely brilliant, thank you! I would recommend Nellim to anyone - they look after you brilliantly and we didn't want to leave.We saw the Northern Lights and loved the dog sledding and snow mobiles.

We'd all like to say a big thank you for your help in organising our trip to Harriniva Lodge in Lapland this Christmas. We had an amazing time, truly the trip of a lifetime and an experience none of us will ever forget. Meeting Santa was a moment of pure magic!

Our stay at Thornicroft Lodge in South Luangwa was a great experience. We stayed for four nights and did two game drives every day – the drives were very relaxing and we saw all the animals that we expected to see and then returned to the Lodge for a brunch or dinner that never failed […]

Our holiday to Greece was perfect. The cottage was great, the resort was very child friendly. Not too expensive and really nice beach. Thanks for finding it for us! (stayed at Marguerita Cottage in Stoupa)

Lets start by saying a big thank-you for all your help. Our idea of having a Europen adventure in the car (as an alternative to our usual sailing holidays) came last year after watching Micheal Portillo on the mountain trains in Switzerland and our desire to encorage our daughters interest in history by visiting Rome.

Lovely people, lovely food …. fascinating culture, the elephants rocked! Thanks for everything you did this time round Jules. We have been so fortunate to visit amazing places in the past – but this (and the consensus of all) was the holiday to top all holidays.

Just returned from our fabulous holiday that you arranged for us to Malaysia. Everything ran like clockwork – all the arrangements and pick ups (good drivers and vehicles from Discovery Overland Holidays), the accommodation was superb and we had many great experiences. We did not see rain, surprisingly for this region in June, there was […]

Our holiday to Egypt was great! The Stella di Mare Beach Hotel was lovely and we had an fabulous time. I got my Open Water and the children their Advanced Open Water ..... the instructors at Desert Rose were brilliant .... We even went for a Night Dive which was amazing. We ate most nights at the Asian restaurant which was perfect for us. We would definitely return to Sharm, thank you for organising it.

Our holiday to Disneyland Paris was FANTASTIC!!! We all enjoyed it very much, even my in-laws. The boys were tired out the whole week. The hotel (Disney Santa Fe) was perfect as it was all based around the film 'cars' so Lightening McQueen was everywhere. The food vouchers were great value for money as most of them were all you can eat buffets so perfect for the 8 of us as we all like different food. Thanks you so so much for your help in booking the holiday, and accommodating all the family and the different channel crossings.

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for organizing at late notice our holiday to Sweden. We had the most amazing time and got to see the Northern Lights on three nights, so we were really lucky. The trips were very well organized, the food was delicious and the people were charming. Camp Ripan was a great place to stay too. Thanks again for making it all happen for us.

Our escape from the January UK snow to Cuba was utterly terrific!! Both hotels were fantastic and both in great locations. We all enjoyed Havana immensely and the Kuoni rep was pretty helpful in sorting the activities. The beach resort was also great and the holiday ended far too soon. Thanks so much for getting it all sorted. The transfers and organisation was seamless and definitely added to the overall experience. The level of service from Julie from day one to the point of return was fantastic....and I have already recommended her to a friend!

I set Jules the challenge to find us a family holiday for October half term, somewhere in Asia. A stickler for detail and high standards, I was after luxury, comfort and culture. We had an incredible 10 days in Thailand, a wonderful holiday which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Jules!

We had a a fabulous time in Thailand! Everything went very smoothly - thanks for all your organisation. The Elephant Hills experience was just AMAZING! A huge thank you to you for putting it all together and making it happen. It was EXACTLY what we were looking for - and it was done in style. It was the unforgettable family experience it was always meant to be.

Thank you for organising our recent trip to USA, all flights, transfers and the hire car arrangements ran smoothly! In New York the 48-hr Hop on, Hop off bus was excellent. The night tour was a bonus and the boat around Statue of Liberty was the best way to do it given the huge queues for the boat that landed at the Statue of Liberty We enjoyed the sights around New York and Washington. The hotel in Washington was ideally located. Thanks for all your help with organising our trip for us - I would definitely ask for your help again!

As a result of her extensive knowledge of Africa Julie fully understood my requirements and delivered a holiday which my son will never forget in Zambia. We could not fault the travel arrangements and were made to feel welcome where ever we went by all representatives and the staff of the camps we stayed at in South Luangwa and through their extensive knowledge of the local wildlife we truly experienced the magic of Africa.

Within days Jules had found the perfect villa, including heated pool, in a beautiful, non-commercialised part of Spain, and had booked everything for us – But better than this no-fuss full service was the expert knowledge Jules was able to bring to our holiday.

Just back from Jordan & Israel - a brilliant holiday. We had a fantastic time and never at any stage was there any doubt about the arrangements. We greatly appreciate all the hard graft you put in to make things happen for us, and the planning with you and expectation of things to come doubles the pleasure of the experience.

Within three hours of me posting a Tweet for holiday help, I received a phone call from Jules. By the next morning my week’s holiday in Crete was researched, sorted and agreed, including a good deal on car hire. We stayed in some great apartments in the heart of the resort and enjoyed a really relaxing week. I can’t recommend Jules highly enough (or Twitter!) and will certainly consider using her services again.

One of the things I have come to love about you, Jules, is that you listen and take on board what makes me tick, and then tailor the holiday to fit me, not just try to convince me to fit a holiday in a brochure!
