"In my 20 or so years of retired travel, I have worked with several travel advisors, and I find Julianne soars heads above the flock!
She goes the extra mile in research, planning, and looking for special and unique experiences. I know I can count on her when I'm on an adventure to help if a problem occurs, which is rare because of her competence in advanced work.
She is a master at working long distances via the internet and phone calls.
Julianne is simply the very best!"

Julianne & Ronald
At Travel Adventures and Tours, we know that you want to travel in a way that is authentic to you, is well organized and will give you the experiences that you want to have.
To have that, you need a professionally planned itinerary.
The problem is that although you may have done your research and have traveled extensively before, you may not have the travel industry connections, experiences and knowledge to make it easy.
Trying to plan your travel may leave you uncertain of your choices and doubting your options. This is easy to understand since there is too much information available to make wise choices.
We can help because we understand the complexity of planning a trip that is well organized and structured around your own special interests. We focus on making sure that everything is planned for you to enjoy your travels without all the work and worry. You deserve to have a trip that is exciting and fulfills your desire to explore the world just the way you want!

What Our clients are saying
"This trip was EVERYTHING! Julianne Gorny chose an AMAZING Galapagos Expedition Company for me! Everything was meticulously well planned and executed! Thanks again for being my Bucket List Travel Guru! Sailing, snorkeling, hiking, kayaking and the giant tortoises!"
~ Jewell H, Chicago
"We want to give a huge thanks to Julianne Gorny of Travel Adventures and Tours, our able travel advisor who helped us book this trip from start to finish. We embarked on a 2-week heritage trip of Europe, visiting the places that our great-grandparents came from. For my wife, that's Slovakia and Germany, and for me, that's Slovenia and Sicily. The kids have helped with research by interviewing their grandparents and looking through documents they have - ship manifests, family trees and old photos. We've realized pretty quickly that in most cases, we'll be waaaay off the beaten path. With the help of Julianne, she was able to figure out the logistics and made sure that we were able to get where we needed to be conveniently!"
