My best travel memories have been made w/ Julie
Reviewed By Pam - Belton, Texas | Traveled to Rhine Valley ~ Germany ~ Europe
What can I say? Julie is an awesome travel agent and even more of a gem of a person. She is a very competent and organized planner. Julie lends her passion (and experience) for travel to help her clients create personalized, memory making experiences...and from beginning to end, Julie remains in close contact with her clients to help make their experience as seamless as possible. I would, without reservation, rely on Julie to plan my family's or my travels.

Reviewed By Marybp - Temple, Texas | Traveled to Boston ~ Massachusetts ~ USA
Already have my next major trip scheduled for 2020 with Julie. She walks you through all of the planning and works to get you set up for the best possible experience. She reviews options to tailor your trip to fit your wants and needs. During the trip, she is attentive to everyone in her group fulfilling their travel goals. Not all travelers desire to see the same sights and she is flexible in the handling of groups to work with individuals on transportation and schedules to allow for some side excursions. Great experience and cannot wait for the next trip to be just as fabulous as the last one.

A Trip of Lifetime!!
Reviewed By Dana - Fort Worth, TX | Traveled to Egypt ~ Africa
Thanks to Julie and Love Group Travel we had a the most amazing trip! Julie ensured we were well prepared from all planning aspects. Amawaterways was excellent, but Julie ensured each detail was covered. From picking our party up in Cairo to dropping us back off almost 2 weeks later, all was smooth. Luckily, I was not impacted but when the unrest in Israel began, Julie spent her night ensuring new flights were booked home for those who had planned to go to Jerusalem. It was such a pleasure to share the trip with Julie!
The itinerary was perfect, our days were busy seeing pyramids and temples and the Valley of the Kings and Queens, but with time after to relax on the ship (or hotel). Our Egyptologist was incredible and always ready for more questions. I just cannot say enough positives about our experience with Julie and Love Group Travel!! I am ready to plan the next trip with our great group!!

Our First Overseas Adventure
Reviewed By Kate - Spearman, TX | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
We wanted to take a family of 5 trip through Spain, but didn't know where to start. Julie started us off with phone time so she knew exactly what our trip interests were. All plane tickets were expertly handled by her. She gave us personal experience advice throughout the planning process. Julie recommended GAdventures touring for our 8 days in Spain. This was the best way for us to experience the most in our given amount of time. Also, it was a lifesaver in terms of the pre-arranged travel and hotel arrangements. Days before the trip, Julie and I scheduled a phone call to clear up all my "first time out of the country" questions. She spent over an hour with me on the phone, patiently answering last minute questions and taking the time to research any questions that she didn't already know. If I would have had questions or concerns while in Spain, I would have felt 100% comfortable calling/emailing Julie for help or advice. I would gladly recommend her and use her

Parent and teenager approved!
Reviewed By Melissa - Temple, Texas | Traveled to Maine ~ USA
Julie provided destination suggestions based on the type of activities my family was looking for. She came up with a customized itinerary, while still giving us choices. When I needed to change travel dates, Julie quickly rearranged the itinerary and reservations to make it all work.
All reservations, activities, dining options, addresses, etc were provided in an app, organized day by day, that my entire family could access easily.
I typically get overwhelmed with vacation planning for my family. This was my first time using a travel advisor, and it made a dramatic difference… allowed me to focus on all the good things about traveling. Julie checked in with me several times during our trip to make certain everything was going smoothly. The entire process was stress free - planning through memory making.

Julie was easy to work with and really heard my hopes and concerns for my trip. Just before time to leave she talked through all my questions and provided me a helpful resource app with tips for each day of my trip. One of my concerns was unwittingly bypassing customs and having to backtrack. In the app, on the days when there was a customs stop, she marked in yellow highlighting so I wouldn't miss it.
My trip was perfectly curated, and I felt seen and cared for. She has a great deal of travel experience and her agency has many resources. I look forward to planning my next adventure with her.

Reviewed By Texantraveller - Temple TX | Traveled to France ~ Europe
Traveling to a foreign country is daunting especially when you don’t know the language. Julie took the guesswork out of all the details and expertly mapped out our transportation, tours, hotels, and river cruise. This removed a lot of pressure and allowed us to just enjoy the trip and not fret over the next steps. We had an amazing time in France with three days in Paris sightseeing before a river cruise down the Saone and Rhone rivers. The river and villages we visited were spectacular. The scenery, ancient ruins, bridges, and locks were fascinating and oh so beautiful to experience. We are so grateful to Julie for helping pull this trip together and making it a reality for our 25th anniversary! It would not have happened without her wise counsel!

PERFECT VACATION!! Honeymoon
Reviewed By Andrew - Belton TX | Traveled to Kauai Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Amazing experience working with Julie. She’s asked my top destination for my honeymoon and what we intended to activity wise. She got back to me within minutes with several option and with each option gave a break down of what to expect. We decided on Kauai Hawaii and had the time of our life’s!!!! It was everything we were expecting and so much more! she also informed us of potential fees at resort so there were no surprises! Gave us recommendation to get on what to do on the island as well. Easiest and least stressful vacation I’ve ever been on! Very informative and easy process! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
