“Italy was amazing!  It was everything we hoped for and more – great sightseeing, delicious food, and most importantly, fun and memorable family time. Thank you again for everything you did to make our trip unforgettable, yet easy.  We will soon be ready to plan our next trip with you.”

“Our trip to Spain was great. The itinerary was perfect. I definitely would not have had a trip that was this well organized without you! When we started emailing, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed with trying to put a trip together, but you were so great with suggestions of what to do and also helping me break it down day-by-day with the itinerary. You certainly went above and beyond with that! Thank you so much!  I don’t have anything but positive feedback.”
– Robyn S.


“Julia Slatcher’s impeccable travel planning made our group trip to Morocco stress free and deeply memorable. Julia’s attention to detail, calm handling of tricky logistics and ability to find the hidden gems in any city are unparalleled. I have worked with her on several international trips with VIP guests, and she was masterful in making sure everything ran smoothly. I would travel anywhere knowing that Julia planned the trip!”
– Sarah C.

“My trip to Guatemala with a large group of non-profit professionals was a logistical nightmare, dealing with governmental meetings, visits to non-profits, and of course sightseeing – Julia pulled it off without a hitch. Buses, meals, supplies- all of it was executed perfectly. She’s so good at what she does!”
– Janda B.

“My experience traveling to Bolivia with Julia was unforgettable. She arranged a trip that was personal, fun and ensured my travel mates, and I connected to the people and culture. It was an amazing trip, due in large part to the thoughtful planning by Julia.”
– Gia V.

“I’ve traveled to Latin America and Africa on trips arranged by Julia, and they were flawless and fun.  Whether you are a family, a couple, or a study group, she thinks ahead for you so you can focus on enjoying your trip.”
– Robert G.

“Julia planned a flawless trip for me and a group to visit Mexico City and the State of Chiapas. Our trip ranged from official meetings in the capital to off-the-beaten path fact-finding in small villages in the rain forest. It was educational, fun and incredibly memorable. With Julia leading the way, we could just sit back and make the most of our travel experience. Thanks!”
