Kat helped us book the perfect and special hotel. She also arranged a local winery tour that was so fun for us. She was very thoughtful in making recommendations based on our preferences and budget. Can’t wait to work with Kat again for our future trips!

THANK GOODNESS I had Kat guiding me through my stay. From the second I contacted her inquiring about possible plans, to the booking, to the travel day, to my leaving, she was always available, helpful, knowledgeable, patient and kind. Kat helped me pick the perfect place for my needs, and then continued to offer highly recommended restaurants, activities, and sight seeing based off of what I told her I was looking to accomplish during my stay. I never waited on hold, I never had to compare rates. Kat would just send me the options and their prices. When I decided, Kat booked it all for me. It made the stress of planning and traveling SO easy! I would highly recommend Kat, and will only be traveling with her guidance on ALL my future plans.
