By the Dead Sea

Many people dream of traveling with friends from their religious organizations. It can be a wonderful bonding experience to travel across the globe. If you have a group that would like to go on a cruise or visit religious sites especially in Europe I look forward to hearing about your dream trip.

In 2014 I organized an escorted tour with Globus Tours for an  unforgettable church group trip  to Israel and Jordan.   We are still talking about this fascinating trip!

 

In 2017 organised an escorted tour for travel through Portugal with time spent at the world-known pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela.

When in Rome...

Reviewed By QuiLynn - East Windsor, NJ | Traveled to Rome ~ Italy ~ Europe
Mrs. Timpo was an absolute delight to work with during my travel planning. She was very receptive to my wants and respectful of my many requests. She was well informed and was able to provide exactly what I requested with such ease. Other than speaking with Mrs. Timpo on a regular basis, the trip planning was effortless. She continued to check-in before, during and after to ensure that I was getting exactly what I needed. I look forward to Mrs. Timpo’s consultancy for my next international trip!

Superbly organized South American voyage- the best

Reviewed By CYS - Michigan | Traveled to South America
South American Tour of Argentina, Uruguay and Chile in January 2017

Our group of 20 persons included family and friends. Timpo Travel Agency planned the trip; booking the cruise and all the land tours that were taken in ports of call. The agency negotiated the best prices for the selected tours. Whenever possible, private tours were used for our group which allowed customization.
Of note, Dr. Emelia Timpo is a professional who has traveled extensively. She applies this experience in the leadership provided by the Timpo Agency: suggesting a variety options for cruises and tours; keeping the group informed of deadlines and managing the trip details. The agency was very responsive to the needs of the group.
The trip was fabulous.
We look forward to using the Timpo Agency for other trips.

Queen Emilia has a selfless spirit. For example, during the planning of our trip, she had death in her family and in March 2020, the PANDEMIC paralyzed the WORLD. in spite of a few set backs, she pushed forward through her tears and sadness.
She arranged cancellations and rescheduled ALL necessary reservations with airlines, land transportation in Ghana, and sent a timeline that included deadlines and requirements for Our vacation in/ travel to ACCRA, GHANA AFRICA.

Family trip to Ghana was amazing!

Reviewed By Dad In The Motherland - Chatsworth, CA | Traveled to Ghana ~ Africa
I found Emelia by googling "Ghana travel agent". There were a handful of agents on her site with Ghana credentials but something about Emelia's profile seemed very genuine. I decided to reach out to her first and I never looked back. I wanted to take my family to Ghana and this woman in New Jersey who I had never met named Emelia Tempo felt like the right consultant to make it happen.

I wanted a 10 day custom trip with a private tour guide and driver for my wife and I and our two teenage kids. She gave me all that I asked for and the trip was phenomenal. Emelia connected us with a local tour company. We felt safe, secure and informed during the entire trip. We went to 3 different cities and the experience was life changing. Emelia stayed in touch with me from the moment I contacted her (8 months before our trip) and during our travel. She even helped communicate to our tour guide when we missed our flight connection. Emelia Tempo is a top notch travel agent who I rec

Emilia is a wonderful, knowledgeable agent. She provided us with lots of good information on river cruises so we could choose the cruise that worked best for us. Of course Covid disrupted our plans, but Emilia kept us updated on the changing environment so we could make informed decisions. We just returned from the Viking Danube river cruise and we had an incredible time. I highly recommend Emilia!

This was the best experience...

Reviewed By Heartwill - Atlanta, Georgia | Traveled to Ghana ~ Africa
Greetings~

Gold Blast was truly a wonderful trip. The accommodation was perfect. The attraction sights & events were spot on. Restaurants were just up the group’s alley with adequate choices of local vs. seafood/fish dishes on the menu.

You stepped in expertly linking the group with your seamstress. Auntie Susan and Linda went over and above the call of duty. I cannot thank them enough. I've adopted them as my seamstress as well. We will make sure to stop by their shop on our next trip to Ghana. We will commission them to sew outfits for at least 4 individuals. You and can speak privately on how best to show them our gratitude.

This was the best experience.

Premier Travel Agent-Second to None

Reviewed By Danita - New York | Traveled to Ghana ~ Africa
Emelia makes you feel as if you're her only client. Every call was answered. And I received a reply to every text and email within seconds or minutes, day or night. Emelia's voice and demeanor during each conversation, from our initial phone call months before my trip to the follow up call she made after my trip and every call in between, was genuinely friendly and full of enthusiasm.

From start to finish, Emelia was professional, responsive, thorough, and kind. From handling things like preparing my travel insurance to answering questions that popped up during the trip, Emelia helped ease the burden of prepping for major travel and allowed me to fully enjoy an experience that I absolutely could not have arranged on my own and one that will never be forgotten. #secondtonone

Ethiopia Made Easy

Reviewed By Ellen - New York, NY | Traveled to Ethiopia ~ Africa
OMG, working with Emelia was a DREAM. I found her via a google search and read her reviews and decided to work with her. She was knowledgeable about Ethiopia, planned a trip perfectly tailored to our requests, showing she understood us right from the start. She arranged a guide who became a friend, and also was tremendously knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. She was responsive to emails, was patient as we reviewed her suggestions and gave useful advice about tipping and the like. She was always pleasant, was available in the evenings, which helped because we both work all day. Even though we never met her face to face we feel like we have a friend in travel. Every plan she made was flawlessly executed, and that is a lot: we were met at the airport in Addis, met our guide, traveled to seven different cities, stayed in seven different hotels, took four domestic flights, had four (I think) drivers...and every connection was made, everyone showed up, it all worked.

God Sent Us A Angel

Reviewed By Queen Mildred - Detroit, MI | Traveled to Africa
GLOWS:
At the time, I didn’t realize that God sent me an ANGEL! The hassle-free preparation/ planning began January 2020. After my retirement December 2019, I began researching to plan a trip to Ghana, Africa. My requirements for selecting a travel consultant and travel agency included someone, who had personal experiences in and with this destination. Then, BOOM! “Queen” Emilia’s bio described EXACTLY who I was looking for. From the moment I received her timely response to my email, she became my PERSONAL TRAVEL CONSULTANT/Friend.; she sent a questionnaire to get a picture of our desires, limitations, budget, and purpose of
travel and the planning began. Queen Emilia, treated us as if we were family. Her attention to minute details, and relevant timelines was efficient, professional, confidential, and transparent. She made us feel like we were her only clients. Whenever I had comments, questions or felt anxious, she was ALWAYS a phone call, email, or text away.

Awesome group trip with Timpo Travel

Reviewed By Marilyn's Family and Friend's Tour - Florida | Traveled to South America
In past years, for our annual family trip we plan our itineraries and tours, but for this trip we decided to use an agent to assist us with coordinating the tours. We had extensive tours over a 23 day South American vacation, 95% of which were private. The tour guides which were chosen by our agent were all so knowledgeable and hospitable and really added to the wonderful experience of our vacation. In all I had a 5 star experience which I attributed to the excellent research and planning by Timpo Travel.
Emelia of Timpo Travel helped us in creating a majestic experience, incorporating our chosen interests and priorities hence customizing the trip to our needs. I would not hesitate in using her services for future travel and recommending her highly to all.
