With over two decades of military service, Julio understands the value of precision, planning, and trust. Throughout his career, he mastered the art of handling complex logistics and leading people through high-stakes situations—skills that now set him apart in the world of travel advising.

As the founder of Beyond the Castle Travel, Julio brings that same discipline and attention to detail to every journey he designs. Specializing in river cruises, expedition voyages, luxury ocean sailings, sports travel, and custom itineraries across Europe and South America, he curates experiences that balance adventure, culture, and effortless execution.

Julio believes travel should be seamless from start to finish—and that means clients never pay hidden fees, only enjoy smarter planning and better journeys. His mission is simple: to turn the stress of trip-planning into curated experiences where all you need to do is show up and enjoy.

“My specialties include river and ocean luxury sailings, expedition voyages, sports travel, and faith-based experiences through BTC Faith Tours. Beyond that, I create custom journeys across Europe, Asia, and South America — from guided tours of the Holy Land to multi-country European adventures. And no matter the cruise line — whether it’s Viking, Regent, Disney, Norwegian, or Royal Caribbean — I’ll make sure your trip perfectly matches your travel style.”
