Julianne has helped us out before, and she came through again. She is able to find flights much more cheaply than I can on my own, which has saved us lots of money. If I ever ask about anything she either knows the answer or works tirelessly to find it. I would absolutely recommend her services!

By David - Edmonton

Fabulous, knowledgeable and organized agent. But her best skill is discovering the kind of vacation your looking for by asking all the right questions and being truly interested in our preferences. Julianne is very skilled at what she does and is somehow able to deliver just what we're looking for every time! I have referred her to all of my friends and family and the results are the same. She is currently planning our daughters destination wedding- totally low stress for us ! Thanks julianne your the best??

By The Pelletiers - St. Albert

Julianne is truly amazing when it comes to booking anything. She helped us book our fifteen month trip as well as many other short trips we have been on. Everything from tours in China, resorts in Fiji and multiple long haul flights. We are so grateful for her experience, knowledge and effort! Thanks Julianne!

By David and Morgan - Edmonton

Julianne has been great to work with. She gives a very personalized service and goes out of her way to ensure your needs are met. In fact... she booked our vacation while she was away on vacation herself. She is very knowledgeable about many places to travel and was extremely versed in the current travel requirements concerning COVID. My family has used her twice now and both times she was able to get us upgraded rooms and seats on the plane for less than I could find online. Julianne has been able to provide cost saving tips for the area we went as well. She was always available to answer any questions and provides documents and recommendations for every part of the trip. Working with Julianne has been a totally different and superior experience than using a commercial travel agency in absolutely everyway. My only regret is that I didn't find her earlier. I will not travel anywhere without consulting with her.
