Expert level London and Barcelona Family Trip
Reviewed By Tim K - Libertyville, IL | Traveled to London | England | Europe
We just flew in from Barcelona and man, are our arms tired! What a great trip. We gave our travel advisor, Katie Connelly a very short window of time for travel for a family of 4 to 2 different cities (London and Barcelona) and she created a fun and interesting itinerary and found accommodations that were excellent. She handled complex travel arrangements that would have left me flustered and confused. Her logistics were seamless! We enjoyed our vacation very much and it was all thanks to Katie‘s planning and advice. Without her services we would have been lost. I cannot speak more highly of her professionalism and communications skills. We would recommend working with Katie to anybody and we can’t wait to take our next trip!

A trip of healing
Reviewed By Angie W - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Working with Katie is one of those rare experiences where you feel completely taken care of from start to finish. She is incredibly detailed and attentive. Nothing slips through the cracks. From the very first conversation, she truly listens and takes the time to understand exactly what you want out of your trip, not just the logistics, but the feeling you’re hoping to experience.
What sets Katie apart is how personalized everything is. She doesn’t offer cookie-cutter itineraries, she curates each trip with intention, making sure every detail reflects your needs, preferences, and priorities. Whether it’s recommending the perfect resort, planning seamless travel days, or thinking through the little touches you didn’t even realize would matter, she’s already ten steps ahead.
I had the opportunity to work with Katie on one of the most meaningful trips of my life; celebrating being cancer free and planning a surprise vow renewal for my husband. We traveled with a group of six other people, which could have easily felt overwhelming, but Katie handled every detail with such care and precision. She helped coordinate travel for everyone, kept everything organized, and ensured the entire experience felt smooth and stress-free. She also understood how emotional and important this trip was for us, and you could feel the extra level of thought and heart she poured into making it unforgettable.
You can genuinely feel her passion for travel and for what she does. It shows in the care she gives her clients, her responsiveness, and the pride she takes in making sure everything goes smoothly. Traveling can sometimes feel overwhelming, but with Katie, it becomes exciting, easy, and something you can fully enjoy without the stress.
If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, treat your trip like it’s her own, and make the entire process feel effortless, Katie is it. I can’t recommend her enough.

Portugal Anniversary
Reviewed By Mary A - Hills, MN | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
What an incredible trip! We spent 10 days in Portugal for our anniversary and Katie planned the entire thing from start to finish. We are savvy international travelers, but needed an assist with this trip because life has been so hectic, we didn't have time to plan it on our own. Katie did an introduction call with us to learn about our preferences and created such an incredible itinerary for us. She asked for feedback throughout the process so we felt involved and informed. BEST TRIP EVER! The perfect combination of romance, relaxation, and adventure through a beautiful country.

Last Minute Universal Christmas
Reviewed By HPMom - Nebraska | Traveled to Universal Orlando | Florida | USA
We called Katie a few weeks before Christmas and couldn't find tickets to Universal to surprise our kids. She was able to find tickets to the parks and a great rate at a Universal resort that saved us money on the express passes. She created an itinerary to help us maximize our time so we could hit the things we wanted AND she had great suggestions for things to check out that we knew nothing about. This was such a hit and I'm so happy we tagged her in to help us out!

Transatlantic cruise and Cancun
Reviewed By MP - Sarasota, FL | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Katie is an awesome advisor. We met her on an International Cruise. She booked us a trip to Cancun for my birthday. She got us a much better deal on our resort than we initially found. She also arranged several special surprises for my Birthday through the resort! She checked on us during the trip as well as our return home. She was a huge part of this being one of my favorite trips! Katie also has set up a Transatlantic Cruise for us for our Anniversary w great perks we couldn't achieve on our own. She sent us little reminders during our trip regarding transportation ,which she also set up. Kudos to Katie! So glad we met you. The distance between our hometowns was no barrier. It was like you were sitting right next to us assisting us. Thank you again. Highly Recommend her services.

Last minute cruise
Reviewed By Karissa C - Sioux Falls, SD | Traveled to Caribbean
We found Katie through a Facebook review someone else had posted, and I’m so glad we did! My boyfriend and I planned a very last-minute cruise (like last minute last minute over the New Year, and Katie went above and beyond to make it happen seamlessly. She made sure every single accommodation was met and handled everything with such ease that the entire process felt like a breeze.
This was my first time cruising, and thanks to Katie, it was absolutely perfect from start to finish, stress-free, smooth, and exactly what we hoped for. Her communication, attention to detail, and willingness to accommodate our tight timeline truly stood out. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we will 100% be using Katie again for our future travels. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a travel advisor who genuinely cares and delivers
