I am a nightmare when it comes to holidays as I wouldn't say I like searching and finding the best deal or sorting all the finer details out, so knowing that the wonderful Julie was on hand to sort all this out for our family was a huge weight off my shoulders. She was attentive to what we wanted and found us the best deal. Having 3 kids we needed to make sure what we had booked would suit them and we were getting the best deal for our money. Julie had it all stored straight away and was on hand for every step of the process - making sure we had everything we needed, it was a really personal approach she took. Everything from my millions of questions about what paperwork I needed to make sure we had copies of our boarding passes (which she delivered to us in person along with some sweets for the kids) She checked in on our day of travel and also when we returned - it was so nice to have such a friendly and personal service! I would highly recommend her to select your next holiday - it feels so indulgent having someone personally shop your holiday and its worth it for the experience you receive from Julie!

Planes, trains, automobiles, boats, jet skis!!! The perfect holiday break for us hard working types? Then look no further than booking your holiday with Julie Gumbs Travel Counsellors Last year I gave the choice of holiday for this summer to my eldest son before he ups and offs to university! His brief was “Canadian cities - the more the better”. I added in “a place to chill in the middle” My record with big hols is fraught with mistakes so I handed the whole thing over to Julie Gumbs Julie spent a long time coming up with the perfect itinerary, taking the brief, playing with options, checking in at every stage. Once booked Julie also advised on visas and hidden costs and every time Air Canada changed their flight times (frequently!) she changed the hire cars/transfers/arrival times. Months later Air Canada cancelled our return and reduced the length of our holiday by a day! We decided to extend it instead and Julie was there again with all the extra planning. Result! Montreal, Quebec, Fredericton, Prince Edward Island, Toronto & Niagara on the Lake. I highly recommend returning to the idea that experts should book our well earned holidays and I honestly could not have asked for more personal attention than I received from Julie. Add in all documents printed and delivered prior to the holiday and the app for continued access to the plans and you have the perfect plan for those well earned breaks.

We are enjoying our last full day of an amazing trip away to America with the kids - and just want to give a big shout out to Julie Gumbs …. Julie is a travel counsellor and she arranged our whole trip for us - flights, internal travel (flights, trains and cars), hotels, passes, special events…. Everything! She researched everything, checked and double checked all the details, recommended places, and facilitated all the special requests- ensuring that we’ve had a truly memorable- and smooth - holiday of a lifetime with our family. If you are wanting someone to do all the hard work for you whilst arranging a special or more complicated trip, then do please contact Julie - it was an absolute pleasure to have her look after us before - and during - the holiday. Thank you Julie - it’s been an incredible few weeks, absolutely perfect, and we’re so grateful for all your help
