We had a great experience working with Julie

I have been working with Julie for over 10yrs, very dependable, never had a problem that was unsolvable.

Working with Julie to plan back-to-back spring break trips for our high school seniors was a great experience. With the first, Julie took care of everything - making it a worry free vacation. With the second, although the trip never happened (COVID-19), Julie still took care of everything - managing all of the cancellations and refunds and making an unfortunate situation less stressful.

Julie has been planning our trips for over twenty years. Family Caribbean, European, cruises, South American, South Africa and river cruises---Julie has done it all! Even though earthquakes in Chile and New Zealand. However, this form only allows for one destination! Of the more than 50 trips, 20 have been in the Caribbean.

Julie helped us plan a fabulous family trip for eight to Costa Rica. She arranged flights, accommodations, excursions - everything. With three families travelling, we were often slow to make decisions, but Julie took it all in stride and made it one of the best trips ever!

Julie is simply amazing!
Whether it is corporate business or personal travel, Julie always provides prompt attention and options (time & cost) for consideration.

HANDLED is the best way to describe having Julie Itkis as our agent!

Sincerely,

I started utilizing Julie's services for work-related travel for my boss due to the close proximity of her office to ours (back when paper tickets were necessary). I then started utilizing Julie for personal travel and have referred her to my friends at the office (who also utilize her for work-related travel).

She has provided A#1 service for both work-related travel (last minute hotel changes, finding hotels when it appears that the city is entirely sold out, helping with rebooking flights at the last minute, etc.) and for my personal travel (coordinating a cruise for my entire family including the airfares with 3 adjoining cabins). We have booked a total of 3 cruises (2 Caribbean and 1 Alaskan) through Julie and all 3 have been wonderful and went forward without any glitches! (including having a pack-n-play in our daughter's cabin for our granddaughter).

I have had nothing but good experiences with Julie.

I have used Julie's travel expertise for several years. She is very knowledgeable and provides great service. She offers excellent destination suggestions with details to help you make informed choices. She has also assisted us when the unexpected interruption occurs while traveling which is a great relief to know she is a phone call away! I highly recommend using her as your travel resource. Our recent experience was a couples retreat to Punta Cana in Mar 2020.

It was smooth sailing thanks to Julie. You Rock!!!

Julie always responded to all my emails promptly and answered all questions significant or not.

excellent

She was very patient and answered every question in a timely manner. She was honest and made great recommendations.

Ms. Keown is heads and shoulders better than a;; travel agents I have worked with during the past several decades. This is so for the following reasons:

1. She provided me and my family with factual information that was essential for us to make our choice as to which cruise to take.

2. She proactively kept us informed of the potential issues that Covid could create that might affect our travel. That information was not in any online site I could find, and was invaluable.

3. She answered our occasional emailed questions promptly and authoritatively. She really knew what she was talking about.

Julie is very easy to work with. She is very accommodating and helpful with any question I had. She is my go-to gal when my travel plans are challenging.

She gave me different packages with different Hotels, Booked a pkg with Delta to reduce costs, which I would not have considered. Helped us find a Go San Francisco card to our tourism needs (which was very cool, by the way).

Everything she put together worked very well for us.

She was very professional and was quick to respond to emails. She answered all our questions and was easy to work with and relate to.

Julie was extremely prompt and professional. She helped make scheduling our honeymoon a breeze! We had everything set up almost immediately after contacting Julie.

I have used Julie’s services for the past 18 years. She has helped me with all the details, big and small.

Working with Julie is fantastic. She just takes care of everything and makes it all so easy. It is such a relief to know everything is handled and all you have to do is enjoy your trip. She pays attention to the details, and gets it all done on time. She has my enthusiastic endorsement!

I have been working with Julie for over 12years, best travel agent ever!!! My friends and Family also work with Julie, we love her, she's like family

Very professional and thoughtful.

Julie was excellent. She made herself available, and she followed up and followed thru on everything needed from the start of planning through the end. The ship was amazing(she recommended). I would highly recommend her!

Julie was so helpful. She matched the price we found on another site and whenever any questions were asked by us she answered in minutes. She also was able to make multiple small changes for us that would have been difficult for us.

She was great helped me alot when I had questions.! Always took care of anything I needed !

Easy to work with and great hotel/transportation suggestions. Referred others and they received the same great service!

Julie was great! We needed to travel with twenty people that were departing all at different times. Julie put together all of the itineraries quickly and without a glitch. She was effectively communicative throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!

My husband and I have been working with Julie since 2016. Julie has always went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. Which is why we keep coming back to her. All we have to do is show up. Everything else is handled, from our flights, private transfers and any other accommodations we may need. We live in a time where we don’t know what tomorrow may bring. With that being said… BOOK THE TRIP WITH JULIE!!!

Julie's the best!

Very thorough and responsive. Proactive on communications from NCL

Very Pleasing. Always helpful. Checked on our flight plans as we left during snowy conditions. Arranged everything for us just as I had planned. Made planning for our vacation very simple.

My husband and I have booked two cruises with Julie and have had an awesome experience working with her. Julie is quick to respond to any concerns or questions. The first cruise was a trip for the just two of us and the second cruise was a trip with a family group of ten. In both cases Julie was able to make the booking process easy and efficient for all. Julie handled all of our travel arrangements including pre-cruise hotel selections near Port Everglades. We look forward to working with Julie on our future travels!

Julie is always responsive and a pleasure to work with. We’ve booked two cruises with her in the last 4 months and are looking forward to the next!

Julie was great to work with in planning 2 family cruises within a short time frame on 2 different cruise lines. She was able to find us great prices and itineraries, as well as arrange for the multiple rooms to be next to each other or connected and had everything set so we didn’t have to do any extra work for making sure everyone was linked up. Will definitely use her for any future cruises!

Julie was amazing to work with! She found us so many location and resort options all within our price range and we couldn’t have been happier. She made planning our honeymoon so stress free.

Julie was so great to work with! She responds very promptly to requests and was always available and supportive if we needed anything pertaining to our cruise.

I would highly recommend booking with Julie Keown of Travel Leaders to anyone looking to customize their future travel plans.
We will definitely be using Julie for our future travels! Thanks again for everything!

Our experience with Julie was awesome! She was very knowledgable and extremely helpful. She was always there to answer questions and helped us plan a seamless vacation. We would definitely recommend her and would book another trip with her in the future!

I was brought in after the original reservation was already secured, but Julie has been very helpful and answered any questions I had promptly.

Julie is awesome. We appreciate all the work that she put in to make this land/ cruise an overwhelming success. We had a lot of questions as this was our first cruise in 22 years. Julie answered all of our questions and everything that Julie worked on (airlines, transfers, hotels and cruise) came off without a glitch. Julie was very quick to get back to us on our text and email questions and was always willing to meet with us.

Julie was friendly, courteous and professional. She responded promptly to any requests or concerns. Highly recommend!!

My wife and I worked with Julie to plan a trip to Costa Rica. She was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. I am a very picky individual that wants to ensure that all aspects are covered to guarentee that the trip goes as smoothly and as wonderfully as I expect. She brought up points that we had not considered, and we appreciate her opinion, honesty and understanding of our desires. Based on her suggestions, we looked at a few options and she guided us correctly. This was a wonderful trip and we believe Julie was a large part of its success. We cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her desire for us to be happy. We will definitely be talking to her to help setup our next vacation.

Julie was the key for my vacation success. She was very patient with all my questions and guided me on all decisions I had to make. We got a perfect balcony cabin and the places we visit were absolutely amazing. I will definitely have Julie helping me on my next vacation.

Julie was pleasant and helpful while booking our cruise.

Julie was a pleasure to work with. She is very responsive and helped us plan a last minute cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas

We have worked with Julie for over 15 years and she has always excelled.

Amazing! Julie was really knowledgeable on the options available to us. And walked us through every step of the process making sure we had all we needed.

Julie is so professional and gave her honest opinions. She dealt with a lot with questions from four of us and dealing with arranging flights from three different places.

Julie was very responsive. She linked all of the necessary documents Needed for easy access with the iternary.

We had so many questions throughout the planning process for our trip and she was wonderful in answering each of them.

Julie Itkis has been a total joy to work with over the years. We have done many trips and she has always provided the best guidance and service, above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend her.

I have been personally using Julie for a decade or more. She primarily works with me regarding a group trip every year and has done a masterful job dealing with a group of lawyers who travel, and they are not easy to satisfy. She does just that however.
I have used her for simple feedback and assistance personally as well. She is easy to reach, talk to, and follows through on everything needed to make things right.
Using her services and those of The World of Travel is a necessity in dealing with the myriad of potential problems that can arise trying to plan your travel needs yourself. This is easier. Much easier.

The Garza Blanca resort in Cancun was great. Julie did a great job of finding the right place for our family!

Phenomenal experience ?? Julie came highly recommend by a coworker and I was pleased with her expertise.

Julie was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping us plan our trip to Montreal and Quebec City.

Julie looks out for the best interest in her clients!

Working with Julie is a pleasure and takes away all the stress with planning a vacation. She is always available to answer any questions. Don't understand why I waited so long to use her services and expertise.

It’s always a pleasure working with Julie. She’s always honest and always has the best prices/recommendations. Julie is always responds with urgency weather it’s a question or when we are ready to book a new trip. Will always recommend Julie to every one!

Julie is absolutely amazing! She helped my husband and I plan our honeymoon to the Virgin Islands. She helped us with every single step and was always available! She even had great ideas that we took her up on. She made our first experience with a travel agent beyond great! She made sure we had everything we needed and was able to help us work around the schedule of our special needs son. I no longer travel unless I have spoken with Julie first. She is remarkable at her job! She takes all the stresses of traveling away! She made sure we had the best of everything! I couldn’t ask for a better agent!

I have worked with Julie for many years. She has helped our family book multiple cruises, and was instrumental in helping us plan our Europe cruise/trip. Her suggestions for hotels, restaurants, and day trips were perfect.

Julie was great! She walked me through every step of the way

My family has trusted Julie with many of our big vacations over the last several years. The places we have gone were new to us and we did not know the area or where to stay. Every property we were booked at was in a great location and was a fantastic hotel/Resort/villa. Julie helps us by doing the research and taking care of the details I don’t have time to do. And we have never had a problem anywhere we have went.

I know Julie for at least 13 years. Julie helped our family with air and train tickets in the US and in Europe, hotels, show and museum tickets, you name it. Julie is on my speed dial . I always seek her help to arrange flights for my relatives from Russia . She is responsible, knowledgable, friendly and highly professional.

Julie has been assisting me with planning trips for years and she is a wealth of knowledge about different destinations and resort options.

Julie is very responsive and tries hard to give you multiple options. She follows up and does her best to make sure you're completely satisfied.
