Exploring Rome with my Family
Exploring Rome with my Family

After planning my own family trip to Italy, I quickly realized just how much research, time, and attention to detail it takes to create a truly well-planned travel experience. Italy holds a special place in my heart. From sipping wine in Tuscany and sailing along the Amalfi Coast to uncovering the rich history of Rome or the charm of Florence’s cobblestone streets, I never tire of sharing Italy’s magic with others.

With so many incredible destinations in the world and countless ways to explore them, planning travel is a full-time job. From researching and booking to reconfirming every last detail, whether it’s a land tour, river cruise, small-ship cruise, or independent adventure, I discovered the value of having a dedicated expert by your side. That’s when I decided to turn my passion into a career, helping families, couples, and businesses plan seamless, unforgettable journeys.

Today, I specialize in European getaways, river cruising, small-ship cruising, escorted tours, and incentive travel experiences that inspire and reward. Whether my clients are looking for a romantic escape, a multi-generational family vacation, an all-inclusive retreat, or a corporate reward trip, I design custom itineraries and help them select the perfect tours or cruises to match their needs, preferences, and travel goals.

I love creating journeys across Europe, Asia, Africa, Hawaii, and Alaska. Whether it’s a first-time visit or a return to a favorite city, I help clients experience the world in ways that feel personal, authentic, and unforgettable.

As your travel partner, I bring personalized service, insider insight, and a true passion for detail to every itinerary I create. My goal is simple: to make your travel experience not just effortless, but truly exceptional.

Rome Vacation
Reviewed By Charlene - Neptune Beach, Fl | Traveled to Rome | Italy | Europe
We had so many experiences Thanks to Kate. She suggested a hotel that was spot on in the middle of Rome and was just a hop, skip, and jump away from any attraction and any major landmarks. Kate was so patient with us while we not sure if we were going to be able to see the Pope. We definitely will be using Kate again. We even asked Kate if she had any suggestions with surprising our daughter with her boyfriend coming over. She gave suggestions. Kate is awesome!!! Please use Kate Ansart
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Cinotti - Neptune Beach | Traveled to Rome | Italy | Europe
We decided to take a family vacation for Christmas. We went online, looking at different websites and seeing what was available for a trip for us. It was very confusing as to where to stay with the best place to be what the safest area of town would be in Rome, and what tour agencies to use. We reached out on Facebook and many people recommended Kate to us. We connected with her told her what we wanted to do and she said I know exactly what you’re looking to do . We met with her, and she knew what we wanted to do and she had everything planned out to an T, and it was perfect! We had an amazing time. She was with us step-by-step, checking in on us daily making sure that everything was going as planned. She is an amazing travel agent, and I would highly recommend her to anybody who was planning a trip anywhere in the world, you would know that she will look out for the absolute best for you and your family!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
