What travelers are saying

"We were very happy with the trip and how we worked together with you to plan everything. All of the places we went were amazing. Rome had amazing ancient history, art, and architecture as did Pompeii, and Florence had amazing Renaissance history, art, and architecture, while Milan had a little of both but also with the feel of a modern city. The Amalfi Coast and Lake Como were beautiful. We loved Positano (where we stayed) and Ravello best of the places of the places we visited in The Amalfi Coast because they had the most charm and beauty and the least people. In Lake Como, we stayed in Bellagio, but everyplace we visited in Lake Como was beautiful and charming. However, Bellagio, drinking wine and watching the sunset in Varenna, and the boat tour of the lake stood out as our favorite activities. The food was also amazing everywhere, from local places to fine dining the food was fantastic and memorable. We loved Italy. It’s beautiful, and we’ll definitely come back. All of the travel arrangements were excellent and everything was easy. The drivers were friendly and spoke good to excellent English as well as Italian. And having the extra phone was a nice convenience. We didn’t have any stress or difficulties during the trip about the details as they were all taken care of with excellent results. Our favorite drivers: Naples to Positano and back (and Pompeii) Salvatore was excellent. Driving with him was like being with a friend or family member. He was very concerned with our comfort and always suggested places to stop for pictures or a view and had great knowledge of the Naples and The Amalfi Coast. He was also a gentle driver and never made us uncomfortable. Florence Day Trip – I apologize but his name escapes me (maybe Giorgio?), but he was excellent for all the same reasons we liked Salvatore. He even took us to his favorite Gelato shop near his home town and it was so much better than most of what we tried, and since he grew up there he had lots of really interesting local history Milan to Bellagio – I apologize I also forgot this gentleman’s name, but he was a good driver especially around all the curves to and from Bellagio. Not as talkative as the other two, but very friendly and a gentle driver Our favorite guides: Vatican / Franchesca – Interesting personality and very different that the usual guide experience, but we enjoyed her character. She did what we were interested in doing and never let anyone forget that we (and she) were VIP! Pompeii – I apologize I forget her name, but she was very nice and attentive and very interested in what we wanted to know and see and learn more about. It felt tailored to us and what we wanted, which is why you hire a private guide! All of the other guides and drivers were good but the ones above were the best and most memorable. Thanks again for the great trip! We would definitely recommend you to friends, and in fact we already did recommend our friends Derrick and Lorena to you."

"My husband and I live in Canada, we spent February in Malaga Spain and booked a full day tour to Tangier Morocco on Feb 27th through website HAPPYtoVISIT. Julia Travel happened to be the operator. I received email confirmation from both HAPPYtoVISIT and Julia Travel confirmed the date and pick up location. We were advised that we had to call Julia Travel within 48 hours of the tour date to reconfirm our tour date with pick up time and location which we did as instructed. From very beginning of the booking to the phone call confirmation we were told that we were going to be picked up at 5:30 am at a bus stop in central Malaga. We got to the spot at 5:15 am that morning and waited until 6:30am and no one showed up to pick us up! We called Julia Travel at 6 am and the person who picked up the phone doesn’t speak English. We finally with a woman name Marta after 9 am who could speak English and were told that the bus was there at 4:30 am. This is simply not believable given the previous confirmations of 5:30 am pick up time. Obviously she just lied to us to get off the phone. She replied my email said any complaints should send to HAPPYtoVISIT since I have booked the tour through them. HAPPYtoVISIT issued me the full refund within 24 hours after I filed complaint, however the experience left us with very bad taste.what a waste of time and energy! Since the tour was towards our last days in Malaga that we were not able to rebook the tour with another company. My husband and I travelled extensively, this was the worst experience we ever had! Avoid using Julia Travel would be the advice!!"

"I had no idea what to expect, but what I experienced was way over what I could even imagine! The landscaping was eye candy for the soul no matter where you looked. It was enjoyable even when driving between sites. Hotels were well appointed, employees accommodating . . . loved the horse park accommodations!!!! Glacier climb, kayaking in glacial bay, hiking along the coast, Diamond Beach, etc. were all exciting and beyond words."

What travelers are saying

"After Sagres rejected our requests to postpone our family trip of 13 to Madeira during the Omicron COVID outbreak and dispelled concerns about our safety on the trip, Sagres representatives, who were purportedly acting as the tour's feet-on-the-ground in Madeira, did not make the trip, and we had virtually no assistance after we tested positive for COVID after our arrival in Madeira. Besides not being able to enjoy the pre-paid trip due to quarantine requirements, my family incurred additional costs for the resulting extra hotel nights, return flights, and COVID testing. Requests to Sagres to assist with recouping these costs from the airlines and hotel went unanswered. It by far is the worse travel experience I have had in my 60 years."

"I had booked a 6-day tour for July 2020 with Arctic Adventures using the latter’s well – promoted promo code MULTIDAY15 (opting for their offer for a full refund in case of cancellation up to 72 hours before the tour starts). Due to Covid - 19 situation, I had to cancel the tour. Since then, they have refused to provide me with a full refund - as it was explicitly described on their website - alleging that on 1st of July 2020 they were granted an authorization for financial restructuring because of financial problems from mid-March, although I had submitted my request for refund long before the date on which they were granted the aforesaid authorization for financial restructuring. In confirmation of their bad faith, they have refused to provide me even with the proof documentation that my request for refund was ever processed by their financial department (i.e. the relevant communication with the bank). Last but not least, they were advertising and promoting offers on their website promising tours with "free cancellation" and “full refund”, even after their alleged financial problems from mid – March; that is to say they were consciously acting against the principles of good faith and business ethics. Due to their unprofessional, deceptive and unethical behavior, I have been incurring high interests on my credit card, since the latter was immediately charged after my booking and therefore I do not have any other choice but to report all the aforementioned facts to the competent authorities of Iceland and take legal action against them. In consideration of the above, I would discourage anyone from booking with Arctic Adventures in the future on the grounds that they intentionally misled me through their website and kept my money for services they never provided."
