More than we could imagine!

Reviewed By Honeymoon - Bronx, NY | Traveled to Amalfi ~ Italy ~ Europe
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!!!
You are truly amazing at what you do.

Our honeymoon was more than what we could have imagined! The locations were perfect. The tours were fun, gorgeous and story filled. And the order in which we did it... just perfect. I had never thought much of travel agencies but now I can't even imagine how much better our previous trips could have been with your help. You were truly meant to be in this profession. I have told Xavier and Laura how great you are and thanked them for introducing us to you. I know I may have made things a little tough with our limitations but you took what we thought we could do and made it sooooo much more.

Joan Newton Most Knowledgeable Travel Consultant

Reviewed By Patti - Bronx, NY | Traveled to Europe
It was my good fortune to meet Joan Newton, President of JB Cruise & Tours in January 2017. From our first meeting, I knew I was dealing with a professional, who was very knowledgeable of the travel business and someone who was well-traveled and would guide me in the right direction. In short order she presented me with several considerations that were just the right fit for my discriminating taste. Joan even found single occupancy rates, which can be almost impossible to find. I booked my river cruise in January for July departure; and throughout the following months, Joan continued to be attentive and kept in touch with updates, reminders about payment deadlines, and all other pertinent matters. In fact because of her attention to all details, I purchased travel insurance which ended up being a wise choice because I had to cancel my trip but thankfully all costs were recovered. Thank you Joan for everything and I will definitely be calling upon you to re-book my trip.

Cruise Experience

Reviewed By Paula S. - Bronx, NY | Traveled to
Ever since I met Joan in 2015, I have had such great vacation experiences. Personally, I had never used a travel agent before. Once I met Joan, I have raved about my experience with her to others who might be interested in vacation, wedding, or honeymoon planning. She takes the headache out of trying to plan a trip. Joan is very on point, amicable, warm, upfront, and knowledgeable concerning her craft. She gets a feel of who you are, what you like, and where you would like to go, and puts together a package just for you. Not only is she interested in the "before" the vacation, but also the "after" of your vacation. She is very accessible, and should you run into an issue while on vacation, she can be contacted to resolve the issue. When it comes to her clients, Joan's focus is all about mapping out a beautiful vacation experience that they would enjoy and remember in the years to come. She is very accommodating, and always goes above and beyond to make your vacation dream a reality. Try her for yourself, and you will see how on point she is when it comes to your business.
