Testimonials 
“Julia – thanks again for arranging my solo trip to Italy! It was A+ with style, from the Business class air, to the tours and 5 star hotels and restaurants. I look forward to planning my next adventure with Travel Julia’s Way. Thanks again for your professionalism, knowledge of the area, customs and culture, which helped tremendously!”
“Julia plans exciting trips and manages the day trip and events asked for very well. Here and there things didn’t work out as planned… a few hiccups that she resolved quickly, but exciting trips and amazing recommendations for food and sites. Have already recommended since I returned a week ago!”
“Julia is, to put it simply, fabulous. We’ve enjoyed three international adventures with Julia’s expertise. Helping with itineraries and ideas, coordinating air and land transportation, lodging, vaccinations, visas, etc. Julia’s good nature, professionalism and knowledge made our trips seamless and completely enjoyable. I’m looking forward to our next journey with Julia.”
“Julia took care of all the details and helped me create a wonderful pilgrimage for a small group. She is a joy to work with. I highly recommend her!”
“It was great working with Julia on this reservation at the hotel. Although the hotel website states that connecting rooms are not guaranteed, Julia reached out to the hotel to affirm our two rooms would be connecting as indeed they were. The Virtuoso benefits of a $100 room credit and included breakfast were much appreciated. And Julia’s advice re Honolulu hotels was spot on. We loved our stay at the Royal Hawaiian.”
“We just returned from a wonderful trip to Amsterdam. Julia planned an expansive array of tours and visits for us. She took our desires into consideration during the planning process and set up a wonderful and varied itinerary that gave us time to really experience the city and the surrounding environs! She is an amazing travel and advisor!”
“She was wonderful. She was willing to answer all of my questions as a novice traveler. She kept me informed of any changes. Gave me advice and suggestions. It was a pleasure to have her!”
“She was delightful to work with; the guide was very helpful; the small group was a delight to travel with. It was great working with Julia on a complicated trip that turned out perfectly. It was flawless. “
“Julia did a terrific job finding us top notch, family friendly hotels in great locations for our visit and planned day trips, tours and activities that kept ages 8, 18 and the parents engaged and having fun! Highlight of the trip was drive through Connemara and Tea at Ashford Castle. Whatever your interest Julia does a great job tailoring the trip to you and your family’s needs (this is our third family trip planned by Julia and they have all been fantastic!).”
“Julia was absolutely THE BEST with recommendations on where to go, where to stay in each city and activities that were pleasing to both my husband & me. She was quick to respond mid-travel with unexpected change of plans by tour operators & offered more fun ideas for things to do! Her time spent organizing all the trains & connections paid off beautifully — we loved every train & saw beautiful scenery along our travels. I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend her. She listens & delivers!!”
“We had the most amazing time in Venice, Slovenia, and Croatia! Julia provided the perfect mix of activities and locations by asking what we wanted to see and also incorporating her suggestions from personal experience. We could not have planned such a perfect trip ourselves, and she was an invaluable resource to us! We will definitely be using Julia for trips in the future!”
“Julia was amazing help on planning my time away from work. After a year at home, I was planning my trip, there were limited options which met my needs. I had been looking for a vacation which was both relaxed and had activities. Julia was able to find me the perfect combination of luxury beach vacation and activities that let me concentrate on bettering myself.”
“I’ve booked through Julia before and this time didn’t disappoint, as usual! Best customer service, gives great travel advice and is truly knowledgeable in her field.”
“The work Julia did behind the scenes prior to our group trip to Miami was impressive. Putting a trip together for 15 people to Art Basel Miami isn’t easy but Julia carried it off successfully. Our trip was well-planned and well-executed. There’s not a thing I would change and I’ll happily entrust my future trip arrangements to Julia.”
“Want a 5-star travel experience….Travel Julia’s Way is the way to go! Julia took our group of 15 on an art adventure to Miami. We experienced galleries with artists located off the beaten path, along with Art Miami and Art Basel. Julia completes every last detail… from our flight, airport transportation, a luxurious hotel to fine dining, and she tossed in a few wonderful surprises along the way. Julia offered a VIP experience; even maneuvered the COVID restrictions so we had less hassle. We have made a new friend and travel buddy.”
“I had the pleasure of planning a trip with Julia to Miami Art Week for a group of 15. … Julia’s expertise was invaluable in ensuring that everyone had a first class experience. Our group continues to rave about how the agenda was well-organized and thoughtfully designed, in a manner that allowed each of our travelers to dive as deeply as they wished into the wide array of opportunities that were available. Plus, Julia is just so much fun to be around. We all enjoyed her candid and enthusiastic outlook which added a great deal to the feeling that everyone was welcome and valued.”
“Julia is organized, knowledgeable and extremely fun. She is great to work with! She is an amazing cat herder as well in a group going all kinds of various directions. My husband and I hope to travel with her again in the future”
“Amazing!!! She was able to allow my dreams to come true. The Camino Walk with Christ was the most amazing experience ever. My travels from USA to Spain were affordable. My accommodations were great . Thank you so much!”
“We brought Julia in a bit late in the DIY planning process on our spring break trip with kids to England and Paris. We are both avid travelers with friends all over the world and figured we could handle it. … My only regret is that we didn’t hire her from the beginning! Every suggestion she made was fantastic and the quality of the tours she booked for us were impeccable. She took time to offer lots of options and understand what we wanted out of the trip. It was truly a vacation to remember, made much better by Julia’s help.”
“So [our] trip throughout Asia was absolutely incredible, but it couldn’t have happened without the help of our travel agent Julia Matheson. She was amazing to work with, had everything taken care of including transportation to and from airports, tours, dinners, and events. If any of you are planning a trip abroad- do yourself a favor and contact her to make the most of your trip. Thanks Julia!”
“I could have booked so much of my London, Paris & Edinburgh trip direct, but I’m glad I didn’t. Julia’s first hand knowledge made all the difference in making what would have been a great trip, a trip of a lifetime.”
“My wife and I wanted to plan a trip to Paris with my parents since it had always been a dream of my mother’s to visit. Julia was incredibly valuable, not just in making this dream a reality, but in exceeding our expectations. She listened to our preferences and offered many insightful suggestions which really helped tailor our trip. Julia was instrumental in arranging our stay at the fantastic boutique Hotel Bel Ami in Saint Germain and also in assisting with dinner reservations at the wonderfully delicious Atelier Joel Robuchon. She also secretly organized in-room flowers and champagne to greet us upon arrival at our hotel since our anniversary happened to fall during our trip. Despite having limited time (1 day) to visit Normandy from Paris and with many excursions to choose, she helped us focus on a tour that met our needs. We will certainly be using Julia’s expertise to book future travels.”
“We had an INCREDIBLE vacation. Thanks to all of your help!”
“Our family trip to Spain was fantastic! We knew we had a complicated itinerary, with family members coming and going at differing times and locations, but Julia was able to coordinate all our travel plans smoothly. Julia also incorporated all our wants and desires, and we appreciated her knowledge and suggestions of the area. I think she does a great job communicating, and I feel that she understood what type of trip we wanted to create, whether it was activities on our own, or private guided tours. It was all perfect. I highly recommend Julia Matheson and look forward to our next trip with Julia’s expertise.”
