Above and Beyond
"I'm so grateful for Elisa planning a special anniversary trip for my parents. She went above and beyond to help with their trip to Hawaii. It doesn't surprise me but it blessed me deeply. I know for certain they will be over the moon. Thank you over and over."

Professional and Knowledgeable
"I appreciated Elisa's help with navigating our flights and travel insurance for our Italy trip. She was patient, professional and knowledgeable. She sought out a flight that I would never have thought of which saved us from multiple layovers. I couldn't have done it without her."

Dream Family Vacation"I usually do my own research and trip planning, but using Joy Travel Co. took all the stress out of my busy life. Elisa did a wonderful job on our last minute family trip to Punta Cana. She recommended a hotel for us that was too good to be true, packaged it with air and sent us a professionally organized itinerary making our trip a dream vacation!"
