Our Thelma and Louise Trip
Reviewed By Cindy - Angier, NC | Traveled to California ~ USA
Kim never leaves a stone unturned when searching for that special travel experience. I have always looked forward to hear recommendations and even more thrilled at time of travel to see the many places booked and the thought and time that went into planning each. I have always had an enjoyable trip and is evident the many hours of planning and meticulous care that goes into each trip. It was difficult to choose just one travel experience Kim has booked as Kim has booked many wonderful trips with positive experiences.

Very professional and went out of her way to construct a trip that fit my handicap. When I became ill and had to drop off the tour she was a big help getting the information we needed to file for travelers insurance. If we need this kind of help in the future we will definitely contact Kim.

Best agent in the world!!!
Reviewed By Jessica Tripp - Asheville, NC | Traveled to Haiti ~ Caribbean
Kim has been my agent for the past ten years. I lead humanitarian and disaster relief teams all over the world. Kim always goes the extra mile to be sure that the teams are well taken care of. Recently during political protests in Haiti she was able to get our team on a flight home at a moments notice. She is more than a travel agent. She is a friend and is always caring and concerned for the well-being of my international service teams.

Best river cruise ever!
Reviewed By Ed&Beth - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Danube ~ On the River ~ At Sea
Kim is a fantastic agent. From booking all the normal arrangements she goes it off her way to make sure you experience that little something extra that makes your trip special. She goes the extra mile as well. Recently while my wife and I were about to leave on our trip, problems occurred with our flights. Kim, who was preparing to go on her own vacation, stopped and contacted the airlines and made the corrections necessary for our trip to go off without a problem! The best agent hands down.

Business and Personal travel throughout the USA
Reviewed By Ted - Garner NC | Traveled to USA
Kim does a great job, I have traveled over 150 days this year and she has booked every trip. All of the airline tickets, hotels, rental cars and other reservations have been handled without flaws and very professionally. Kim has been available anytime I have needed her and is always willing and able to help in any situation. She works hard to make my traveling as easy and stress free as it can be. I would not use any other person to book my travels. I have used other travel agents in the past and Kim puts them all to shame. Simply put she makes it easier to travel and I am thankful for her dedication every trip. I just don't have to worry about anything.

Reviewed By No nickname - Charleston, S.C. | Traveled to USA
Kim Bristow is absolutely the best!! She is very good at helping plan my trips, especially when plans change before my return trip. I have never had a problem with flight plans, cars or hotels caused by Kim. She is also good at talking through connecting flights to be sure I can make connecting flights no matter what airports I'm traveling through. She is a very personable person as well, so you get to know her while making all the travel plans. I sure do miss her if she goes on vacation simply because Kim makes travel planning so easy. I absolutely do recommend her to people doing personal trip planning and business trip planning. I have about ten years of business travel ahead of me, so Kim had better plan on working ten more years! Thanks, Garry Miller

Amazing Trip.....Fantastic Travel Agent
Reviewed By Tim & Beth Hodges - Elkin, North Carolina | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Kim was amazing during the whole process of planning our trip to Australia. She worked tirelessly to make sure it was perfect! Kim even coordinated the plans for us to meet our daughter who was completing a study abroad in Sydney. Kim went way above and beyond the day we were to leave. After nine hours of delays American Airlines canceled our flight to LA. Before the flight was actually canceled, we realized we were not going to make our connection with Qantas. Kim worked continuously, well past midnight to find us the best options to get to LA and make sure we were on the next Qantas flight to Australia. Once in LA and on our way to Australia, our trip went as Kim had planned. Hold on! Still more of this amazing Kim story. Once we arrived back home, Kim has helped us in filing the claim with the travel insurance because of our canceled flight, missed connection and basically a day and a half lost. I cannot imagine planning a trip ever again without the assistance of Kim Bristow!

Went Above & Beyond!
Reviewed By Meghan & Adam J. - Charlotte, NC | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
We cannot say enough great things about working with Kim Bristow. We originally found Kim on-line and were impressed by the reviews that she had for planning vacations in Australia.
From our very first call we knew we made the right choice, as she had travelled in Australia extensively and had some great first hand recommendations.
During the entire booking process, she was always quick with you response. She gave us a lot of great options for us to choose from and we were happy that we could customize our vacation to fit our needs.
Once everything was booked, she continually checked -in to make sure we were all set.
Even when we were in Australia she helped when some booking changes came up.
If you are thinking of going to Australia, you should hands down contact Kim.
Thank you Kim! We will be back!

The travels of our lives!!!
Reviewed By Silverfox - Cary NC | Traveled to China ~ East and Southeast Asia
Our travels with Kim really started in 1998 with our first out of country trip to Scandanavia. After that we took many wonderful trips always arranged by Kim. She was always caring to our needs and any problem that came up. We wouldn't trust anyone else to plan the wonderful trips we have taken throughout the years. After my husband's death in 2009 I decided to travel to Southeast Asia with friends. Of course Kim helped me every step of the way. And also gave me the courage to travel alone. I have recommended Kim to friends and family . She is the greatest!!
