Jo's clients sharing their experiences
Jo, thanks again for your personal and professional attention to my travel requests. Everything worked well and I had a hassle free trip. Lynn
24 January 2024 at 09:47 amAs an older person who is not so confident organising my own travel these days, I leave it to Jo. Apart from being competent, knowledgeable and helpful, Jo is wonderful to deal with on a personal level. I feel confident “leaving it to Jo”.
04 July 2022 at 12:41 pmJo Gonzalez helped me organise flights with Qatar and a Doha stopover and transfer. It sounds simple but we came unstuck with the Discover Qatar hotel stopover deals. Their website was confusing for the Boutique Hotels by Tivoli. I ended up in a hotel at Souq Al Wahkra (about 25 mins out of the city on the corniche and not far from the airport) and not near the Souq Wakif (markets) downtown. To explain more fully this hotel group have hotels in old town style buildings near the markets. Their blanket description indicates that the hotel booked was also downtown. We were not assisted by the Doha agent and were directed back to the Discover Qatar airline site. They had ridiculous rules for changes ie approx $40 amendment fee and within 6 days of arrival no changes allowed and it meant full loss of payment!! There was a time delay from when our change was sent to them and when they responded placing me in the no changes period! I decided that I would go with the original booking. The hotel was of a high standard but the whole area was devoid of tourists as the marketplace is very new and not operational yet. This whole process was time consuming and frustrating for Jo and she went out of her way to help. I would recommend Jo without any hesitation. Footnote On arrival in Doha I met up with a friend who is a Sydney travel agent and was travelling with a group on their return from Morocco. She had been caught by this same issue and had had to rebook 3 of her clients and was caught with amendment fees which she felt couldn't be passed on to the clients. Beware when booking Discover Qatar Stopovers. Jo also booked an airport transfer for me on arrival. This was done directly with the hotel. The service was good but it cost QAR100 and on my return to the airport I booked Uber and it only cost QAR22! I felt comfortable using Uber taxis while travelling alone in Doha.
05 July 2019 at 04:13 pmYou're awesome Josephine! We can't thank you enough for your endless help and knowledge when we were booking our family holiday with you. We travelled from Sydney to Venice, Florence, Rome, Amalfi Coast, Sicily, Malta, Gozo and then Dubai in 44 days and had the best adventure that we will never forget. Thank you again for all your hard work and getting us there and back home safely. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family. Thanks A Million, Josephine
24 February 2019 at 06:45 pmThank you for organising the travel arrangements for my recent trip. All things went smoothly and I would be pleased to engage you to assist with future travel plans.
27 January 2019 at 05:53 amThe cruise that Jo booked for us was amazing. Had the best time on the best ship. If not for Jo, we would never have booked this cruise. But her knowledge of cruising, and getting to know her customers preferences, helped her arrange an amazing holiday for us.
18 January 2018 at 08:03 amI was very pleased to engage Jo to book our flights to London, Iceland, Copenhagen, Italy and Malta. It was the trip of a lifetime for me, never having been to Europe before. My memories and experiences will be with me for the rest of my life. If I am ever lucky enough to re visit Europe again I will definitely engage Jo to do the bookings for me. She is extremely helpful and has a lovely friendly manner. I felt I was in very capable experienced hands.

She promptly booked everything for me and patiently answered all of my questions (I alwaus have so many!) Jo made the whole experience fun and fuss free resulting in this novice being super relaxed :-) Thank You so much Jo, I have many adventures in mind so you know I'll be calling you again!

Jo has saved us the worry and time of planning complex holidays. Thank you Jo. ( and her service is free as it is covered by the travel industry)
