Just back from a fabulous holiday to Finland for my 50th birthday celebration. The entire trip was perfect, our excursions were fantastic, accommodation at the snow village in a snow suite and at Levin iglut igloos was unbelievable; all because of the services of Mags and Jules . They really made my dream a reality and I can’t thank them enough.

You sorted everything to add a personalised tour to a group tour. Everything went smoothly and we had the holiday of our dreams. Highlights were the overnight stay on the houseboat and the stay at Chandelao.

One item on bucket list completed! So glad we made the trip. Great experience travelling business class with Emirates. New Zealand is full of lovely people, incredible food and Rotorua! Felt you were entirely in our corner throughout, looking for best value for money and best itinerary that suited our interests.

One of the benefits of having a travel agent is, that when the hotel you’re booked into in the Atacama Desert (one of the driest places on the planet) is flooded and the guests have been evacuated, another hotel is arranged before you know that there is a problem!

The whole week worked really well and it was a fresh adventure for us skiing in Austria for the first time. Maria Alm in particular was like a lost gem. Lovely quiet slopes and described as "Austrian slopes used by Austrian people" Zell am See itself was buzzing!

Thank you for researching and booking our dream trip to Sri Lanka to trace our family history - I can't fault anything. My cousin and I went to find our tea planter grandfather's grave & with the help of our utterly brilliant guide and you, we found them both. Two truly wonderful and emotional moments.

Thank you to Jules and Mags for finding & booking our honeymoon to Lapland. It was reassuring to know that there was a friendly and helpful person at the end of the phone should an issue arise. We would not hesitate to book with Travel with Jules again.

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

As we have come to expect from Travel with Jules - everything worked smoothly. When we were not staying with family or friends our highlight was Wellington. We enjoyed the city - - easy to walk around and our hotel was well placed for the cable car to the Botanical Gardens and the area around the Docks.

My recent month-long trip to Australia and New Zealand lived up to TWJ's ubiquitous high standard of organisation, value for money and excellent quality accommodation. The Indian-Pacific train from Perth to Sydney was a definite highlight! Jules and Mags are fun and enthusiastic to deal with and I would heartily recommend them for their bespoke holiday service.

Highlights included having sun-downers, wherever we were at sunset was great fun - the guides had packed our favourite drinks plus ice and lemon slices in a cool box! Seeing 100's of Hippos sitting all day in the river, playing their "trombones" then getting out at sunset for munchies.

You listened to what we wanted and then reacted accordingly, thank you. The hotels in India were excellent, the drivers were great and the overnight boat trip on the backwaters in Kerala was special. Hotel in Varanasi was excellent even though alcohol free and vegetarian! The guides were good especially in Varanasi and Fort Cochi.

I booked my trip in the UK through 'Travel With Jules' to avoid having to send large sums of money to a foreign bank account. Using a UK agent obviously adds to the cost, but I considered it well worth it for financial security, and certainty that there would actually be someone waiting for me when I stepped off the plane. I visited Lobeke National Park and Sangha Lodge in Dzanga Sanga National Park. Amazing sightings of forest wildlife including elephants, lowland Gorillas, sitatunga, Mangabeys, forest hogs and stunning bird life.

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!

Thank you for your organising our last minute city break to Palermo we thoroughly enjoyed the holiday. The junior suite at Hotel Quintocanto was worth the extra and you couldn't ask for a better location. We understand that the reason for the cancellation for our return flight was indeed strike action in Italy. We commend yourselves and the operator for how you handled the change to plan.

Thank you so much for organising my trip to Australia for me! I was very unsure about travelling alone but Mags met me and talked me through the things I needed to do, such as getting travel insurance and a visa. The group I met in Alice Springs and travelled with were great fun and the tour leader was lovely. I really loved everything, it was all amazing!

What can I say? You did it 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, the staff there are superb. They know all the elephants by name and there were around 9 families in the area, Saba had arranged a surprise sleep out for me with the warriors! I had some amazing leopard sightings around Samburu too ... all in all very sad to leave there.

The entire trip and booking process has been a highlight! From talking to Jules on the phone trying to decide where to go to finding out the actual experience was exactly as she described it would be.

Giving us a wealth of knowledge from her years spent working in Africa, Jules soon put together the perfect holiday for us. Just back home, the holiday already seems like ages ago but we really did have the trip of a lifetime! Thank you Jules for your arrangements and making it all work so well for us (especially talking to us whilst we were flying from the Mara, not sure which air strip to get off the plane!!)

We would definitely recommend your services to our friends.

Just a quick email to say thank you so much for organising our lovely relaxing holiday to Thailand. All the transport worked well and the hotel on Koh Samet was just what the doctor ordered. Le Vimarn Cottages was a very quiet resort which was lovely. Banyan Tree Hotel in Bangkok was perfect - the moon bar on top was amazing well worth the very expensive G&T!

Thank you for our tailor made holiday to Cambodia and Vietnam (with Dubai stop over). You listened to what we wanted and made the changes to our itinerary as requested.

Halong Bay was a particular favourite of mine.

For the last three years we have been using Jules to arrange our annual winter long haul holidays and have enjoyed travelling with someone else doing the organising in the full knowledge that should a problem occur we have a reliable point of contact who ensures that our enjoyment of the holiday isn't in any way spoiled. I would thoroughly recommend using 'Travel with Jules' to anyone contemplating wishing to travel on a wildlife & sightseeing adventure!

The team at the hotel were warm, friendly and keen to ensure that everything I wanted was catered for...You also have the option of cruising around the local markets and enjoying talking with locals, or jumping on a bicycle and hitting the beach or going further afield. Sounds busy and it is, but in the best possible way!! And as ever, thanks to Julie's seamless organisation, all I had to do is turn up with passport and sunglasses :)

A huge thank you for organising and booking our holiday to Zambia and Malawi, Norman Carr Safaris, what can we say, WOW what a great company. For the first two nights we were up graded to their 'flag ship' new camp at Chinzombo! We left with very fond memories and we really do have Africa in our hearts now. We really did 'live our dream' so thank you for making it happen.

I just wanted to say thanks for arranging our holiday to Finland, you came up trumps again! The resort had everything we wanted, as you had told us, so we were able to go skiing as well as all the excursions (dog sledding, snowmobiles) you booked for us. The snow and scenery were fantastic, just like the brochure, which was amazing. And it was VERY cold. Quite an experience. So thanks again for your patience, understanding and organisation. We will be back, so brace yourself!

Our honeymoon to Estonia, Helsinki and St Petersburg, was simply wonderful! So many great experiences, many of which we never expected, which was even better! The best city for us was most definitely Tallinn, closely followed by St Petersburg. Sailing across the Baltic on a sea of ice is something we'll never forget either! St Petersburg was superb. Hotel location was spot on. All in all, I hope you get the feeling that we had the time of our life! By far the best holiday we've ever been on exactly what a honeymoon should be and hassle free... The planning and prep that you put in to it meant that we didn't have to worry about a thing! All that's left to say is THANK YOU and we've already recommended you to our friends for future trips.

We would all like to thank you Jules for organizing and planning our brilliant self drive holiday to South Africa at such short notice! The things we did and saw were amazing, we got up as early as we could each day to pack in a lot, we did many sight seeing tours around Cape Town including hiking up Table Mountain and Signal Hill to see the sunset. We spent hours at the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point, the views were incredible. Our Holiday continued along the Garden Route with brilliant accommodation and food every where we went. To see the ocean and the coastlife, nature everywhere and the culture of the people was amazing - and the weather was great too. Thanks Jules from all of us

Julie organised our holiday to Zambia which more than met our requirements - the accommodation was excellent (we stayed with Norman Carr Safaris in South Luangwa, Mayukuyuku in Kafue and Waterberry at Livingstone), our guides for safari and birdwatching were the best available and all travel arrangements went smoothly. Julie's attention to detail and knowledge of Zambia meant that our individual wishes were met throughout our holiday. Thank you very much!
