Joanna was amazing in helping coordinate our trip from adding extras to ensure we had an amazing time and consistent communication leading up to the trip and making sure we had everything ready from the minute we landed to our departure.

Our experience with Joanna of Timbuktu was excellent. We have used her services in the past and will continue to use her services for future trips. Our trip was flawless. Her attention to detail, knowledge, and responsiveness is first rate.

11 nights in Egypt and Turkey

Service was exceptional. Joanna and her associate Nadine responded to my inquiries within hours, if not minutes. The guides on the trip were efficient and knowledgable, giving us precise location and meeting times and were good about handing us off to the guide on the next segment.
