"The trip of a lifetime — every single detail was perfect."
SARAH at Juniper was wonderful. She planned the trip of a lifetime for us in Italy. We went to Rome, Florence, stayed in the countryside in Emilia Romagna and ended up in Venice. Every tour, every transfer and every hotel went smooth as silk.

"Everything was handled for us, from start to finish."
I took the most amazing girls trip to Greece, and everything was handled for us from start to finish. We stayed in the most incredible ocean villa, and our itinerary included hands-on cooking classes, an unforgettable wine tour, and a dreamy sunset boat cruise.

"Working with Juniper was a breeze — even when our trip had to be rescheduled."
Working with Juniper was a breeze for our trip to Greece. They were particularly helpful when our original trip had to be rescheduled due to an unexpected injury. Having them coordinate all transport, accommodations and excursions allowed us to enjoy the trip with no stress.
