Christmas in England
"Julie helped us originally plan this fabulous trip to England for May 2020. Needless to say, we had to postpone it. We decided on Christmas because our children are 18 and almost 15. Julie could not have been more supportive and helpful. She reworked our trip to add holiday specific excursions. We were able to have a complete tour of London and spent Christmas in the Cotswolds. We finished our trip in Oxford and back to London for a bit of free time. Traveling during a pandemic is stressful, but Julie was able to help us schedule all the testing we needed and navigate all the logistics. Our hotels were so beautiful , the guides and drivers were personable and interesting, and she helped us secure dinner reservations. Our children had never been overseas and this was the perfect first trip. We are now planning several more trips with Julie. She is fabulous!"

Spectacular Madrid and Toledo Trip
"Wow, what a great vacation! Don't want it to end :-) Madrid and Toledo were spectacular! Javier, the gent who was our guide in Toledo, was amazing. We'll need to start planning with you for next year's tour of southern Spain :-) The accommodations were fantastic on this last trip and everything was perfectly executed. Very very very happy that you got us into Tickets that first night. That was the best dining experience we've ever had. Cheers!"

Bali and Korea a Trip of a lifetime
"I have traveled all over the world. Planned trips, gone with groups, and done countless hours researching for things over the years. This trip I gave all that way and placed everything in Julie's hands. It was a leap of faith but one I will do again. Julie made our trip to Bali and Korea seamless. Everything was thought through and double checked. We had drivers at the airports, resorts that exceeded my expectations, and local guides that were professional and fun to be around. There were a lot of moving parts, 4 resorts, 2 airlines, 2 drivers, 2 guides and exertions that gave us a true feeling of the cultures. From cooking classes to a healing ceremony, her choices enhanced the experience we were trying to create, I don't know what else you could ask for from an agent. The best compliment came from a guide, who said Julie was on top of her game for us. There is a great amount of confidence you gain in someone, when you know they are working as hard as you would for yourself."

Trip to Quinta Da Mata
"Quinta Da Mata and People's First Tourism was a very special time. Arthur and I enjoyed Bilboa - the hotel was terrific, just across the street from the Museum. Also, Arthur and I really appreciated the Cruise suite - with the larger balcony. We used it every day for several hours (and hosted guests on it). Thank you for your arrangements... if we ever travel again, we will use you for everything."

A Dream Birthday Celebration Come True
"Julie Harris once again planned a trip of a lifetime for me and my husband. My husband and I had never been to Italy and wanted to celebrate our 40th birthdays with a week long celebration. Julie listened carefully to our ideas for the trip and then added her expert advice and knowledge to make sure our all our travel plans reflected our desires to have a "taste of Italy." She planned a trip through Rome, Tuscany and Florence that felt luxurious but yet stayed with in our strick budget. Each property we stayed at was warm, welcoming and made us feel right at home. It was hard to say goodbye to each location. The private tours were extremely educational, personal and allowed us to get a true glimpse of the Italian culture both long ago and today. We appreciated the phone calls to check in with us during each of our stays to make sure we were well taken care of and to remind us of upcoming important events in our itinerary, It was a birthday celebration to never forget. Thank you Julie!"
