About
For as long as I can remember, travel has always been about where the next great meal would be! Love a great hotel, craft cocktails, hidden gems and local food experiences as a window to new cultures.

Travel style
Finding the very best authentic local food and experiences at a destination is what we crave! We drop our bags and hit the ground running (walking and biking, too) to explore everything from street food to Michelin-starred cuisine with cocktails and cultural activities mixed in. I love planning and researching and want travel itineraries to be fun, personal, memorable and not overwhelming. Falling into a luxurious bed at the end of the day is always a bonus!

Julie's reviews
Julie was the best! She helped plan and create the trip of a lifetime. We are forever grateful for the amazing memories she created for us on our honeymoon. Not only was she so helpful and available throughout the whole planning process but also while we were on the trip itself. With wedding planning stress already present, having Julie there to plan our honeymoon Italy trip was more helpful than we could have ever imagined! She not only brought our dream trip alive, but also gave us endless recommendations and advice that we could not have received anywhere else. Being able to land in Italy and simply follow a perfectly planned out itinerary by Julie made our trip that much more relaxing and stress-free. Each day was carefully and strategically planned out to maximize our time in each city we visited. Every hotel we stayed at and stops we hit along the way exceeded our expectations. We can't say enough how amazing and helpful Julie was!

Julie did an outstanding job helping guide us on what to consider in Dublin. She was always available for help and answering questions. She provided great clarity on what to expect with both the hotel we stayed in as well as our itineraries. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a great travel experience!

This was our first time working with Julie Middlebrook and we're already looking forward to having her plan our next vacation. Julie was a pleasure to work with. We loved all of the hotels, tours and restaurants that she arranged for us to go to in Italy. Her expertise shined right from the start of working with her as she put our travel plans together very quickly. We never would have been able to have booked all of the reservations as fast as she did. Her knowledge of the cities we visited helped our traveling go seamlessly. Julie had all of our reservations on one app, which we could refer to. It was so user friendly and helpful to look at each day. I was very impressed with everything Julie did for us. She truly organized an incredible vacation for our family.

Julie was amazing in helping us plan our entire trip in Italy and we never would have found Viesca Toscana without her. This place is absolutely beautiful and the staff were remarkable. Julie really figured out quickly what was perfect for our family and we had the trip of a lifetime because of her. From hotels to restaurants to activities, everything was planned precisely.
