Memories we will cherish forever!
Reviewed By Nichole - Plainfield, IN | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
Katie was absolutely amazing and so incredibly helpful in planning our nearly two week Hawaiian vacation! I had never used a vacation planner before, but after working with Katie, I don't think I'll ever go back to planning a big trip without one. She was communicative, transparent, and really listened to what was important to us.
The tours she helped us choose truly made our trip so special. One of our guides was a local artist whose murals we saw throughout Kauai, and we ended up bringing home a surfboard he had painted that once belonged to his son. Seeing his face light up when we wanted to buy it was priceless, and it is now our most treasured souvenir. It's an experience and connection we never would have had without that tour!
Katie was also there for us during the trip. When I had trouble downloading tickets, she immediately found another way to get them to me—even with the six-hour time difference and me messaging her late! She took so much stress out of planning and traveling, and we are incredibly grateful for her help in making this a vacation we'll never forget. I cannot recommend her enough!

Magical Disney Vacation!
Reviewed By mpzurlino - Noblesville, IN | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
Katie was fantastic to work with while planning our week-long family vacation to Walt Disney World. Although this was not our first Disney trip, it was our first time traveling with our 1-year-old, and her guidance made a huge difference. She provided excellent recommendations, helped us stay within budget, and was always quick to communicate and answer questions throughout the planning process. Her advice on Lightning Lane strategies, transportation, and overall park planning helped make our days much smoother and far less stressful. We truly appreciated her knowledge, organization, and attention to detail, and we would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone planning a Disney vacation.

Perfect Family Trip for Young Kids
Reviewed By Jessica - Findlay, OH | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
Katie helped us book our first Disney cruise. It was somewhat last minute, and she was able to find us a great cruise. She helped us figure out neccessary travel documents, booked us transit from the port to airport with car seats, and guided us on all the little details. It made it feel so simple... we just had to worry about packing and showing up.

"I'm so glad you had a wonderful first Disney cruise and that the process was made simple for you-which helps relieve a lot of stress when traveling with small children! Looking forward to working with you again in the future!"

Amazing customer service
Reviewed By Deb and Doug - Indianapolis, IN | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
We had an amazing experience working with Katie on our recent trip to Hawaii. She went above and beyond to help us schedule our cruise as well as excursions for the different islands. She also researched and verified we received all available incentives with NCL cruise line.
During our trip, we unfortunately experienced a trip interruption. Thanks to the travel insurance she had originally arranged for us, we were covered - but she didn't stop there. She personally helped walk us through our return options and the entire claims process. Having Katie navigate the very stressful situation from thousands of miles away was priceless.
Her professionalism, attention to detail, and ongoing support from start to finish truly made a huge difference. We would highly recommend her to anyone planning any type of vacation - whether it be land or sea!

Our First Disney Trip
Reviewed By LuciS - IN | Traveled to Walt Disney World | Florida | USA
I have many great memories of Disney World as a child, but taking my own children 25+ years later, I knew a lot had changed. I had never stayed on property, I had never use the app, and I had just recently heard about lightning lanes.
I did not want to miss out on anything that would be helpful for maximizing our time and fun during our trip. This is when I realized I needed help. After learning that Katie was a travel agent and could help with our Disney trip, I reached out to her. She answered all of the questions I had and couldn’t find the answers to on the website. Reading blogs, and watching YouTube videos are time consuming and you never know if you can trust them fully. Katie was timely with her responses to my questions and also helped us find the right accommodations for our needs. She never pushed for us to add anything on to our package, just gave information. I never felt pressured only informed. I would definitely recommend her for any future travel plans. I also will use her again for our future vacations as she is knowledgeable on other destinations besides Disney.

This brand new ship is stunning. My husband and I have now been on 5 MSC cruises and it's as awesome as MSC Seascape ( personal favorite ) in many ways. New restaurants on floor 5 is a pizza/ burger one that's casual and had ice cream too.
Katie went beyond on her expertise sending emails often checking on us for questions, reminding us to make sure things were done leading up to the cruise. She's great at communicating, knowledgeable on cruising, friendly, and caring ~ we have used her twice and she's now * our travel advisor* for all of our vacations.

Honeymoon Beach Vacation
Reviewed By RHBK2025 - Springfield, IL | Traveled to Saint Lucia | St. Kitts and Nevis | Caribbean
Katie is a wonderful travel agent. I have used her several times in the past and recently used her to book our honeymoon in Saint Lucia. I usually give Katie a description of what I am looking for in a vacation and she always seems to find the perfect spot. She suggested we use the Butler Elite package at our sandals resort for the ultimate relaxing honeymoon and she was right. It definitely made the trip more enjoyable and relaxing. She will send reminder emails making sure paperwork before the trip is filled out to make traveling a breeze. It was a nice gesture to receive a text from her at 3am the morning of our flight making sure we had made it to the airport. Would highly recommend using Katie to book your next trip!
