Best Honeymoon!!
Reviewed By MiritShady - Minneapolis,MN | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Kate is incredible. She is detail oriented and goes way above and beyond for her clients! She planned our honeymoon to Italy and we just got the pleasure of enjoying It! The task we gave her of all the places we wanted to see in the amount of time we had was NOT easy. I know she put in so many hours and hard work to give us the perfect itinerary! I would recommend her and Dream Travel to anyone and everyone! Talented team of travel planners and the trip couldn’t have gone better! Even when we had an issue with weather delays, Kate was ontop of it checking in with us and helped us with the insurance of the trip which came in handy for the little bit of time we were delayed. I cannot say enough about how incredibly impressed we are with Kate’s work and what a beautiful trip she put together with our dream Italy honeymoon! We went to Venice, Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi coast (Positano) and she got us beautiful hotels, easy transfers, and perfectly timed flights to and from Italy!
Kate Smith responded
"Mirit and Shady- Thank you so much for your kind words! You two are the sweetest. Your trip was so much fun to design! It was so satisfying to get all the pieces of the puzzle to fit together and streamlined! It was a huge bummer with the weather delay, but you two handled that disappointment with such grace. :) I am glad you enjoyed the rest of your honeymoon and made the most of every city you visited! I look forward to designing more trips for you in the future! Kate"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Two excellent trips ??
Reviewed By Barbie&Ken - Hudson Wisconsin | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
Kate planned our driving trip through Southern England and most recently a ten day trip to Paris France. She is excellent. She carefully listened to us, made great suggestions, and followed through on everything. The only way she could have made it easier would be to come with us. Alas, she has a family and a life.
Kate Smith responded
"Barb and Ken, It was my pleasure to plan these trips for you and I look forward to planning the next ones too! If I could, I would love to join the two of you on a trip! You both are so fun! Kate"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    From our balcony aboard Royal Caribbean

    Royal Caribbean Cruise to the Bahamas

    This past summer my husband Jeff and I took a wonderful cruise to the Bahamas. We were aboard Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas. We enjoyed a wonderful spacious balcony room. Taking in the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets from the privacy of your own balcony is wonderful. There were so many dining options to choose from and I enjoyed getti...
