The Best Trip of our lives!!
Julie Evans is the best Travel Consultant that my husband and I have ever dealt with. We were supposed to go to South Africa in March and then Covid 19 hit! She went over and above to re-arrange schedules, flights, accomodations, etc, for a future trip, and all with a cheerful demeanor through all the craziness. Throughout the years we've heard about the wonderful service she provides and we've now experienced it.....needless to say, we're "Lifer's" with Julie. Lol.
Brenda, W. Ponoka, Alberta
Professional, knowledgeable & goes the extra mile!
I have worked with Julie on a number of occasions and each time her professionalism and knowledge is at the forefront! Julie always does extras to go the extra mile! For example on the last trip we requested a certain hotel and Julie had never had any dealings with it prior so on a personal trip she was on she took her time to go and check it out and give us a personal review before we ever got there! Julie is my one and only call when it comes to travel! I can’t wait until the time comes again when I can call her to book what always are vacations where the memories last forever!
Nicole, D. Consort, Alberta
Best travel agent around!
I wouldn't trust anyone else with my travel plans. Julie has been my travel agent for more than 10 years. I have full confidence that even when things go wrong (cancelled trip, delayed flights) Julie helps make it right. She is conscientious, and researches everything in order to ensure her clients have a safe and enjoyable journey.
Anita, M. Ponoka, Alberta
Hands down the best travel agent around!!!!
We were a family that was brand new to traveling when we first met Julie. We were nervous and anxious about where to go with our 2 little kids. Julie was extremely helpful and understanding. I can not express how truly great she was. She made our first family vacation one of the most memorable and special vacations. She found us the perfect resort that truly matched us as a family and she took all the anxiety away and made it possible to just relax and have the best time ever. We always knew she was available anytime if we needed her for absolutely anything or had any questions. Hands down the best travel agent around!!!
