Testimonial

What Client Say About us

We highly recommend Joan as a vacation designer.   My husband and I were apprehensive about traveling to Italy. He had traveled overseas, and I been there as a teenager with my parents.  Before the trip, Joan prepared packet that included useful information i.e. packing information, cell phone info, currency exchange info and more.  Traveling for us was worry free, as Joan arranged the perfect trip for us. We traveled in a group of 7, with Rome as our home base.  for a week. Joan had scheduled day trips in and around Rome with private tour guides in a van or golf carts. We experienced Florence, Tivoli, Pompeii and Amalfi Coast, and many of the classic Roman sites, with a pre-arranged guide in each location.  Joan knew local restaurants and really knew how to experience Italy.  Our trip was most enjoyable and we highly recommend Joan Qualls to help plan your trip!

Since 2015, Joan has opened our gateways to adventure, including cooking school in Abruzzo, Italy and a cruise around Cuba with a private guide to the tastes, sights, and sounds of Havana. But she earned our absolute devotion on a recent trip when on our last night in Salzburg, Austria a slip & fall required an ambulance, ER, and overnight hospital stay for my husband. Joan spanned the multiple time zones to connect the travel insurer with the hospital, expedite the insurer’s medical review, AND had us re-booked on a flight in time for us to get to Vienna and board our originally booked flight home – which she knew was exactly where we wanted to be by then. Oh, and the trip “before the fall” was breathtaking – a hotel in Prague that could not have been cuter or more convenient, a driver service to Salzburg with sightseeing stops along the way, and two VERY difficult to obtain tickets Ricardo Muti’s production of Aida at the Salzburg Festival. There’s NO ONE like Joan in this business!!!

We recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and decided to take a trip to Italy! We started online but there was SO MUCH information that it was overwhelming. That’s when we called Joan for help. At first we called to just “pick her brain”. Once she started sharing great ideas of different tours to take and can’t miss places to visit we handed the planning over to her. Our trip was a little complicated; the first half was on our own and then our kids joined us, and then we met other relatives also in Italy. Joan coordinated it all beautifully. She selected quaint boutique hotels that had a lovely breakfast and were well located. For our first day in Rome she arranged a golf cart tour that really set the stage for our adventure. We would never have found that tour ourselves. Working within our budget, she planned tours and activities that kept us busy but also left us ample time to explore on our own. She sent guides that helped us navigate the major cities we visited. I would definitely call Joan again for another adventure.
