Dream trip to Italy
Reviewed By Mike - Lakewood, CO | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
I have always wanted to visit Italy but was overwhelmed with trying to organize it myself. I chose Joyce based on her experience and knowledge of Italy. I just returned from my fantastic 12 day trip to Italy. We spent half of our time in Rome and a couple days each in Florence and Venice. Joyce's contacts in Italy and meticulous planning ensured there were no glitches with transportation to/from the airport, between hotels and train stations, etc. The 3 hotels were in great locations, provided excellent service, included breakfast and had great WiFi. She arranged tours for several major sites. The guides provided useful historical context which gave our experiences much more meaning. Our itinerary was the perfect balance between planned tours and unstructured time to explore on our own. We had such a great experience we know we will be returning to Italy in the future.
joyce smith responded
"Mike, it was a pleasure coordinating your first trip to Italy and I am thrilled it met your expectations! Thank you for trusting me to make the experience everything you hoped and dreamed it would be. I can't wait to put your next adventure together. There is so much to explore in this life, and I love using my travels to help others see the world from a completely different perspective. Thank you both."

Best Destination wedding ever!
Reviewed By Michelle - Littleton, CO | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
We used Time of Your life Travel and Joyce Smith for our Destination Wedding and honeymoon in Riviera Maya. Joyce took such good care of our group of guests. She took care of all of the details, we just had to show up and have a great time at the two resorts she booked us at! I would highly recommend Joyce and Time of your life Travel for any vacations or destination weddings.

Best Way to See Italy

Outstanding service.
joyce smith responded
"Hi Rick,
I'm thrilled that the arrangements I made for your family's trip to Italy was everything you expected and hoped for. Some private touring mixed with down time and self exploring is usually the best combination for most first-time visitors, so I'm grateful that my suggestions worked out for you all.
Thank you!"

Skirting hurricane Delta, thanks to Joyce!
Reviewed By Meg - Denver, Colorado | Traveled to Mexico
We have been using Joyce for 22 years! I will never plan a trip without her! This is an excellent reason why you should ALWAYS use a travel agent.
We booked a trip to Cancun with Joyce. We were leaving the Saturday after category 4 hurricane Delta was supposed to make landfall there on Friday. Joyce called me on Wednesday afternoon and told me she could switch us to Puerto Vallarta. There would probably be numerous power outages and flooding throughout the Cancun area. Of course, we did. It was absolutely seamless! By Thursday we had confirmation of our hotel AND flight ready to go! NEVER could I have done that on my own! We probably would have had to cancel our trip if I had done it myself. We had an awesome week at a beautiful resort! Thank you Joyce for being the BEST at what you do!
joyce smith responded
"Thank you Meg! It's always great to work with you and your family, and I'm so happy you have always trusted me to steer you in the right direction. It's so important to have an advocate in your corner, especially during hurricane season! Plus, the Iberostar Playa Mita is one of my favorite resorts in Riviera Nayarit, especially since the very special destination wedding we planned there for my son and his bride. Thanks again!"

Amazing Trip
Reviewed By kyle - Santa Clara, CA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Joyce was very easy to work with and was always responsive to our questions throughout the process. We were in different states, but she worked around that well. Our trip involved a lot of traveling between cities and Joyce helped us plan our timing perfectly. Our hotels were all in good central locations that made it easy to avoid extra transportation (i.e. taxis). Overall, I would definitely recommend working with her when planning your next trip to Europe!

"Kyle and Emily, I am so happy you enjoyed your first trip to Europe and that everything flowed smoothly. Thanks so much, and can't wait until we can plan your next adventure!

The best trips of our lives!
Reviewed By Joyce Smith - Lakewood, CO | Traveled to Abano Terme | Italy | Europe
I have been using Joyce Smith as my personal travel agent for 20 years and I cannot imagine traveling without her! Joyce planned 3 European trips for my daughter and I that seriously were the trips of our lives - One to the Greek Islands, one to Spain and Portugal and one to the French Riviera. Joyce planned and booked everything including flights, hotels, transfers and excursions so that we did not have to hassle with anything once we arrived at our locations. She always knows exactly what type of hotel is best for us and offers a variety of excursions that are always top notch! Joyce is simply the best!

Our Italian Adventure
Reviewed By EJM/SAM - Littleton, CO | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
My husband and I recently traveled to Italy. Joyce Smith planned the whole trip, transfers, air/hotel and tickets to activities. Everything went perfectly. We were gone for 2 weeks, 4 cities, 3 nights in each city. We were always met for our transfers to hotels, train and daily trips. The people were very friendly and added so much to our excursions. They were informative and really went out of their way for our experiences. We had all our paperwork lined out in a folder, so we knew what was going to happen and what to expect. The hotels were very quaint and in perfect locations. Joyce picked these for us. We told her and she suggested some things to do in each city. We also enjoyed having some time to ourselves in each city. It was a good balance between excursions and down time. The itinerary was so organized, we knew what was going to happen each day. Therefore, there wasn't any stress. We would highly recommend Joyce to plan your special vacation.

"Thank you so much for taking the time to share your impressions of your trip to Italy and the way it was put together. It's always wonderful to learn that my knowledge of Italy allowed me to design an itinerary that gave you everything you wanted to see and do, as well as giving you the time to enjoy some down time to explore on your own. I loved putting this vacation together for you and look forward to helping you with your next adventure overseas! Thank you again."

Awexome Experience
Reviewed By Wayne - Denver, CO | Traveled to London ~ England ~ Europe
Working with Joyce was a seamless experience. Ability to work within a budget and schedule: A+ After determining London would be our destination, she then provided multiple sight-seeing options that allowed for a day of rest after an overnight flight, small groups and even private options. We opted to have Joyce book the tours for us and couldn’t have been more pleased. We enjoyed the Tower of London/Crown Jewels, Changing of the Guard, a River Thames Cruise, a hop on/hop off bus tour, and a day at Stonehenge. The Kensington hotel is in a quiet area, close to the “tube,” has easily accessed cabs, and, if you’re hearty, walkable to SoHo. The other hotels on her list were equally impressive, so I would have no doubt she would book the best for each clients’ needs. Her knowledge of the area and attractions :A+. Quick to answer emails and phone calls to avoid costly airfare increases: A+
