Julia arranged the full trip to the Basque country (San Sebastian and Biarritz) and made all of the arrangements. This was one of the hotels she booked specifically for me, and at others I shared a room with another person. The whole trip was wonderful - well-researched, with activities that matched my interests, and all of the details including hotels, day trips, transportation and even restaurant choices outlined for me.

Our stay at the JW Marriott in March 2024 was fantastic, and we owe a big thank you to Julia from Fora Travel. She went above and beyond to make sure our family had an incredible experience. The upgraded room Julia arranged for us was absolutely amazing—spacious, beautifully designed, and with stunning views. It truly made our stay feel extra special. The hotel staff was so attentive, and it was clear that Julia had worked closely with them to ensure we were well taken care of. Every detail was seamless, from check-in to the thoughtful touches throughout our stay. Julia’s care and effort made this trip unforgettable, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for someone to plan a stress-free and elevated trip, Julia is the best!
