Knowledge and counsel. The main reason most leisure travelers use Perfect Journeys is to take advantage of my specialized knowledge of destinations and travel deals, and my recommendations when planning travel to an off-the-beaten-path locale.

Judy planned a custom trip last year to the Balkans for me for two weeks, followed by Turkey and Greece with my girlfriend Raquel for another five weeks–an did an exceptional job. I’ve never seen so much detailed pre-trip information and so many choices. Gracias a Judy. And she saved us a few bucks on airlines!

Judy planned a trip to Malaysia for my family. None of us knew much about Malaysia, but, with her research and hard work, we made a wonderful trip, visiting Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Cameron Highlands, Penang, and Langkawi. This included hotels, internal flights, transfers, etc. It was complicated because it was the Christmas/New Years holidays and many of the hotels were either already booked or had minimum stays. But our trip was delightful, and everything worked out. Near the end, I decided to extend my stay and continue on to Chiang Mai. She took care of those complicated arrangements, changing flights, etc. also.”

Judy put our trip to Papua New Guinea together and what an amazing trip it was. We were a wonderful company IE with a excellent leader and once in PNG we had wonderful local guides. PNG is still pretty rough…but, we had wonderful lodges and hotels. The food was brought in from Australia and was good – so important as the locals are still eating the inside of palm trees. All in all a well organized and spectacular trip to a fascinating destination.

Time saving. Many travelers rely on Perfect Journeys to make their travel arrangements to save time and hassle. If you’ve ever spent hours online searching for a hotel deal or airfare, you’ll know why.

Perfect Journeys handles all the travel arrangements for the International San Miguel Writers’ Conference every year! It’s over 60 airplane reservations and transfers – and 60 people whose many questions she answers with grace and enthusiasm! Judy offers everything we’d ever want in a travel agent: she’s timely, finds the best fares available, and goes overboard with customer service.”

Good deals. I can search reservation systems and airfare consolidators not available to the public for deals that are not on the Internet or sometimes not even on the supplier’s website.

There is no question that working with Judy and Perfect Journeys saved the San Miguel de Allende International Jazz and Blues Festival a couple of thousand dollars by handling all of our international and domestic travel arrangements – not to mention that she took an incredibly time-consuming task (arranging travel for over 25 musicians) away from the producers and made it hassle-free us. Great job!

Group Travel. Perfect Journeys specializes in small group travel to exotic and adventure travel destinations. In the past few years I have taken groups to Antarctica, the Peruvian Amazon and on an Africa safari. Organizations such as the SPA benefit from such trips as a fund-raiser for their organization.

Thank you so very much for your wonderful contribution to the SPA from your safari to Kenya and Tanzania!!! On behalf of all the Board, not to mention all the Shelter’s furry little residents, we want you to know how much your generous donation means to us.

Airline tricks. Online booking is simple for buying straightforward one-way, round-trip, or even multi-stop air tickets. But some international air ticketing rules are very complicated and a I know cost-cutting tricks that you could not find.

We had an excellent experience booking a three-legged flight with Judy Newell of Perfect Journeys. The cost was 2/3 of what I expected it to be based on my research on the internet.

Travel insurance. I recommend travel insurance for all of your trips. You never know what can go wrong. I am licensed by one of the largest travel insurance companies in the world and can offer you coverage for your entire journey at a better rate than you will get from the travel suppliers.

When something goes wrong—either before you leave or when you’re already on your trip—I am your best source of help. Whether it’s an airline snafu or medical emergency, you may have to cancel or rebook flights, accommodations and other travel arrangements. I can do a quicker and better job than you could on your own. I’m available 24 hours a day to assist you.

Thank goodness we have used Judy Newell and Perfect Journeys to plan our trips. When my husband, Jerry, got injured in Rome and we had to cut our trip short by two weeks and the Iceland volcano eruption caused hundreds of stranded tourists looking for alternative flights, Judy got us out and home right away, and the trip insurance she counseled us to buy paid us back for all the costs of the missed two weeks! She is a winner.

My suggestion is that you use the services of Perfect Journeys for all your travel needs. The more I know about your personal preferences, the better job I can do for you. If you like to check trip ideas and details out on the Internet, that’s fine: just tell me what you’ve found. I’ll let you know if I can find a better deal.

But if you’re tired of extensive online researching and booking with a tour company you may not know, Perfect Journeys is the way for you to find the best deals with the best companies. 40 years in the travel business makes for a lot of personal contacts and knowledge of the “best of the best” in travel suppliers.
