For African Safaris, August is peak season in the Masai Mara in Kenya as the numbers of tourists can be as many as the wildebeest! But don't worry, we will find you small, exclusive safari camps in the conservancies where you can still have a first class wildlife experience without being surrounded by stripy minibuses!

Botswana is still great with the peak of the Okavango flood reaching towards the Kalahari pans. Primate lovers should head to Rwanda or Uganda for Gorilla trekking and visit the forests for Chimpanzees too (also to be seen in Mahale in Tanzania). In Madagascar, mild weather and little rain means it is a good time to see the Lemurs and maybe even some whale watching.

In Latin America, head to the lesser known regions such as Venezuela and Bolivia which are really nice in August. Travel to the Andes & trek the Inca Trail in Peru, explore Chile or into Argentina we can take you to the Atacama desert, over to Easter Island and tour the vineyards, but bear in mind the southern half of South America is in the grips of winter so stick to the northern lake districts!

Parts of South East Asia can be rainy July to August but this makes it a better time in places like Borneo or Cambodia where it's a little quieter and trekking and culture holidays can be enjoyed. It's a good time for many parts of India too, enjoy train travel and festivals! August has been popular recently for honeymoons to Bali and Lombok.

Head to USA for fly drives coast to coast or on Route 66, or rent a log cabin in Yosemite or beach house on the Pacific Highway! Take the family to visit New York and Niagara Falls or head to Western Canada for bears and whales!

Villa Porto Bello is right on the harbour at Vathy on Ithaca with lovely views across the bay and up to the mountains. Thanks once again for organising an idyllic, stress free holiday for the third year running. We’ll back to plan for next year soon!

We really appreciated all the time and effort you put into making sure we had a family holiday this year, after our safari could not go ahead. Great communication (and patience!) as always. Highlights included the villa and it’s location, Private day trip/swimming/snorkelling on a boat to Skopelos, including a visit to the church used in “Mama Mia”.

Thank you Travel With Jules for all your excellent updates, calls and support and overall quality service throughout. Wildlife & scenery of Alaska was amazing - eagles, whales, moose, sea otters, Brown Bears and cubs, sea lions and the salmon run!

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.

Costa Rica is a brilliant family destination: white water rafting (our favourite), kayaking, turtle nesting, rain forest exploration and encounters with sloths and toucans - We will definitely be booking with you again!

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.

Jules and her team put together a wonderful trip to Canada for us taking in the Rockies, Vancouver, Vancouver Island and also threw in some bears and whales! A late alteration to our itinerary was handled without any difficulty. We have used her several times before and would highly recommend Travel with Jules

Cheryl, Rich, Deborah & Steve

I would definitely recommend Travel with Jules as they take the time to understand the individual requirements and don't just offer the standard/common "textbook" options. We couldn't have sorted this trip by ourselves. They also understood the budget and came in under!!

We had a lovely break and the area around our villa was beautiful. We spent a lot of time at Denia Beach and loved the tiny village of Jesus Pobre and the local food and culture. Thank you for organising another great family holiday for us.

We had a wonderful 11 nights at Le Paradis resort hotel in Mauritius. It’s a great family hotel with superb food, exceptional service and idyllic location. We swam with dolphins and to our surprise whales too!

Jules and Mags managed to tick our boxes when they found The Anahita Resort in Mauritius for us for our summer holiday. We wanted somewhere to completely relax, with spacious accommodation and somewhere not too hot. We were very lucky to be upgraded to a 3 bedroom villa with a beautiful sea view & our own outside seating area.

We booked our holiday to Santorini quite late and Travel with Jules made sure everything ran smoothly. Absolutely loved the hotel that Julie recommended for us. A highlight was the views of the Caldera from the hotel pool and bar area and from our hotel suite. We also loved the hike from Fira to Oia.

Sheila & Andy

Thank you for organising yet another amazing holiday! We loved our first cruise (P&O Ventura) and the Norwegian Fjords are stunning. Photos are of Stavanger old town, Briksdal Glacier and Ventura in port at Olden and me in Stavanger with the art at the Port!

We had a lovely time in Kefalonia! Cavos Inn was amazing - the views from the room were simply stunning - we don't think we've ever stayed anywhere with such a view before! Kefalonia was much more under-developed than we'd been expecting which made a nice change. Assos was lovely (very picturesque)

We had a fabulous family holiday thank you - Ubud was our favourite place; we loved the hotel and had a great villa with a pool. It was also a really interesting place to visit and a great experience for the kids.

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. Our apartment at Kalami Bay was just perfect and we enjoyed several days relaxing by the pool then wandering down into the town for dinner at the many excellent quality tavernas. Thank you so much for organising such a wonderful holiday for us.

Jules and Mags are very friendly and completely professional, Nothing was too much trouble, they listened to our requirements and needs. They delivered 100%. Why would you book yourself when these wonderful people are there to do it for you? Trouble and hassle free.

Flawless service from start to finish! Helpful and knowledgeable going the extra mile to fit our special date in. Travel With Jules were very polite and patient too! Highlights staying at a luxury at Gaya Island resort - staying on a tropical island for your 30th isn't bad at all!

Another fantastic trip to America organised by Travel With Jules. This is the third time we have used them and have never been disappointed. They helped us to plan each trip and organised some fantastic hotels and suggested things to do and see at each destination. Looking forward to the next trip already. Many thanks

It was a very last minute trip to Amsterdam, but the help and organisation was just what we needed to make the trip happen; advice when we needed it; knowledge that meant the hotel chosen was in the right area and suited our needs; accommodated our changes of mind :) Loved breakfast at the hotel! Also really enjoyed Anne Frank house, Van Gogh museum, Nero science museum, canal trip, hiring a bike, Jewish quarter, people watching, finding a great cafe that made amazing apple tart while we watched and adapted the menu to suit our tastes :)

Atkins Family
Amsterdam
(Aug 2017)

The travel and private meet and greet transfer on arrival went smoothly (even though it was bank holiday weekend!). The hotel was lovely (Palazzo Giovanelli) and had great views - very close to the Rialto Bridge. Venice has so much to offer and plenty of restaurant choices, but as expected very expensive. The guided tours are necessary to get a real understanding of the city.

Louis & Dawn
Venice
(August 2017)

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.

Our honeymoon to Chile & Argentina was smoothly organised – our wishes were listened to and met, and changes were absorbed and dealt with, without fuss. Excellent service throughout. Highlights were Easter Island and the Atacama Desert … Travel With Jules took the time to get the details perfected - Jules listened to my requests, sorted out an itinerary, worked on the changes and then dealt with further changes (of mind) without any fuss. A first class service and highly recommended. This was a honeymoon trip to Chile and Argentina and it was a truly wonderful holiday.

Rod & Sam
Chile & Argentina Honeymoon
(Aug 2017)

You listened to what I wanted to do and see, and found me a package that delivered exactly that. Highlights included staying in villages, Chandelao Garh - with a tour of surrounding hamlets, Jojawr Ravla - with a Ganesh procession complete with powder paint throwing and a trip on a local railway where the train stopped just for me to take a picture of a Banyan tree! Visiting a Marwari horse stud in Jodhpur; shopping in Jaipur. The guide was so knowledgeable about the area, and really good at finding out what we were interested in and tailoring the holiday accordingly.

Christine Hanson

(Aug 2017)

Thank you both for the holiday of a lifetime. It really was the perfect honeymoon! Very happy with everything that Travel with Jules did for us and would definitely recommend them as a travel company. All travel documents were sent to us promptly and a private car to take us to the airport from Suffolk was also organised which was lovely. Highlights included visiting the Gili Islands and the cooking classes - we LOVED Balinese food! I cannot recommend Travel With Jules enough for booking any future holidays – Jules and Margaret are both highly professional and friendly and will do everything to ensure that you have the holiday of a lifetime.

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.

Thank you for booking our lovely holiday to Rhodes. The Atrium Prestige was beautiful, the food at the hotel was very nice, service at the restaurants and beach bar very professional. The sea was amazingly clear as you can see from all the fish pictures Leo took whilst snorkelling! Waters were crystal clear and not too cold to swim in just fab - overall this holiday was another winner, thanks so much! Rebecca x

This Safari was a repeat visit to a country after many years of safaris elsewhere in Africa and India, and it did not disappoint. In fact I am happy to say it was probably the best ever I can remember (and if Jules was responsible for the sole use of vehicle and guide at both Mara North and Valley camps - thanks for using your influence with the Kicheche Camps!). Using the smaller camps in the Masai conservancies of Mara North and Naboisho meant low vehicle numbers and sightings were often enjoyed in splendid isolation, with the freedom to drive off road too. I have just returned from experiencing the most perfect adventure....

Thank you for all your hard work in putting together our tailor made holiday to Tanzania. Accommodation throughout was at least very good, sometimes really excellent. The Old Boma hotel where the service was super - one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in anywhere in the world Hassan our safari guide was first class and very helpful. The Bush Rover camping was fun ... for one night!

Thank you again for your help and support with organising the trip. It truly was spectacular and such an amazing place. The aurora display we got on the 3 nights in Dawson was out of this world at times the entire sky was filled above us and no lens would have been wide enough to capture it

Lombok was stunning! The hotel (The Chandi - Ocean View Villa) was perfect being right on the beach. Facilities were spot on and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Your organisation helped immensely, it was a joy to know that everything had been done and we just needed to be in the right place at the right time. Thank you so much for making it a great honeymoon!

Thank you for finding the perfect holiday to fit our demanding requirements! The hotel had private access to the beach, a choice of dining and its own surf school it offers great facilities. Our room was great with a wonderful sea view, the Spa was gorgeous and calming and the Yoga centre a delight. I may well be lured back to this resort for another immersion in a peaceful Paradis. Thank you Jules!

Our honeymoon to Bali & Lombok, from the moment we decided to use Travel with Jules, was such a fantastic experience and the service we received extremely professional and efficient. It was a delight to have all the flights, transfers and hotels organised so efficiently for us and the process was so professional, yet friendly at the same time. The beaches were beautiful and quiet and we found some great places to sample the delicious local food.

Thanks for booking our holiday back to Iceland. The suggested itinerary and the provided written guide notes were first class. The spacing of the drives was just about right. I didn’t have a problem with the length of the drives as there are plenty of stops and the scenery is fabulous. We were particularly taken with the north of Iceland (Akureyri and Lake Myvatn).

We are back safely and rested after an AMAZING holiday to Namibia. We had such a lovely time. The whole trip was perfectly planned and it went really well - so thank you. Everything was a highlight! The self drive was great. Being back in Africa - the landscape, the animals, the people. We had time together - that was the best of all, thank you. Service rating excellent! You were flexible and patient when our plans/ needs changed. You were always accessible and helpful.

If you’re considering seeing the Palio in Sienna (and you should) you must go for a few days before, and at least one day after. It is an extraordinary event that has its feet firmly placed in the Middle Ages, The Palio is actually about tradition, pageantry, corruption and thuggery. But all of those things make for an amazing experience. Jules got really good seats for us – the terraces is where it’s at. Then there’s the drums, the flags, the roaring oxen, the colour, the noise – an incredible time WILL be had! ..... But get stuck in – because they haven’t arranged it for you, and they won’t wait for you to join them!

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?!

We can’t thank Travel With Jules enough for all the work and effort they put in to organising our holiday of a life time! From the first email we sent to the day we came back, everything was trouble and stress free. Our only regret was we should have gone for 3 weeks instead of 2! Thank you Jules & Mags for making memories that will last a lifetime.

Our family holiday to Croatia in August was amazing. The transfers went literally like clockwork – that was majorly impressive. No waiting for more than a minute – literally.

Our holiday to East Africa was perfect in every way. The early morning safari's were a special occasion...sitting in the middle of the plains surrounded by wildebeest, eating a cooked breakfast freshly prepared by the ranger, watching the sunrise is a truly unforgettable experience. Jules, thank you so much for giving us the experience and adventure of a lifetime. We will remember it always!

Julie managed to find us the most wonderful villa on the gorgeous island of Lefkas (which we had never heard of!) that we would never have known about going through the normal route of booking a holiday ourselves.

Julie's knowledge and passion for Zambia was amazing, her knowledge meant that we were able to have "real" conversations about our trip and make the right decisions meaning that we had an unbelievable holiday. We can't wait to go back to Africa and when we do it will be through Travel With Jules.

Julie sent me all my details quickly (I booked within a week of travel!) which made it easy to sort out my documents and what I needed to take with me and she was always on hand for any questions I had which gave me confidence before I set off. I had a great holiday cycling in Slovakia and Poland and would like to think I'll be doing a similar holiday very soon!

Kendal Harrison

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!

Ian Furbank

Pageantry at The Palio!

The Palio is actually about tradition, pageantry, corruption and thuggery. But all of those things make for an amazing experience. Jules also got us seats at one of the Contrada dinners the evening before– this I would describe as essential if you want to get a real flavour of the Palio atmosphere.

I felt like the King of Scotland again!

From the night I arrived, being welcomed back to Hemingways in Nairobi (I felt like the King of Scotland again!), to the day I left, everything was a complete delight. Elephant Watch Camp is lovely ... While 'sleeping out' with the warriors I spent the night listening to cattle munching around my tent!!
