Amazing Graduation Trip
Reviewed By PBurk - West Palm, FL | Traveled to Austria | Europe
I have to start by saying that Kristen is truly the BEST!!!! As a recent college grad, I had a pretty tight budget but I still wanted to celebrate the hard work that I had put in for college. Kristen was so sweet, supportive, and accommodating to getting our trip to a fun and budget friendly option. She worked very hard to make our trip magical!
Kristen found The Sound of Music tour and a really fun cooking class for my roommate and I to enjoy! We had the best trip together and this couldn’t have been possible without Kristen’s help! She stepped up and went above and beyond with helping us take care of the big and small details of our trip!
Highly recommend Kristen!!!! Once again, she is the absolute BEST!!!!!!

Best Trip Planner
Reviewed By KKelly - Dayton, OH | Traveled to Europe
Are your friends or family always saying “we should do this/we should go there/let’s plan a girls trip”? Kristen Kocher is your answer and she will always make it happen.
Booking through Kristen ensures you and your travel companions can review options and then make informed decisions together. She is excellent at curating possibilities based on your ideas and preferences. I appreciate her expertise and quick communication. I love being able to hash out plans via email.
Working with Kristen over the past few years has made so many memorable trips possible: AmaWaterways river cruises, London to see the Eras Tour, a Paris museum trip, and hotel stays in Los Angeles and New York. Your dream vacation will become a reality, and your friends and family will appreciate your initiative, so reach out and get started!

I want to thank Kristen for helping us have a wonderful family cruise. It was a last-minute decision, and she pulled it together to get us on the Royal Carribean ICON. It was an outstanding trip, as were our land trips to St. Thomas and St. Kits.
Kristen always responds quickly and gives us all the detail we need to be prepared. She comes up with suggestions for excursions. I always recommend her when my friends say they need help with travel plans.
Thank you, Kristen.

She took all the stress out of coordinating the small details like dinner times, seating arrangements, pack n plays, etc. We worked with Kristen again this month for our second Disney cruise and she was always available to answer our questions and make sure we were on top of the deadlines.

Best First Cruise!

Kristen was great helping me set up my very first cruise. I made the decision to try one back in mid October. Kristen listened to all my requirements and was quickly able to get me 3 choices sailing within a month or so. I chose Princess sun, sailing to the Caribbean. All the details were explained, conveyances scheduled, flights and hotel booked. Everything went off with no problems and when I decide to take another trip I will give Kristen a call. Thanks for a great experience!!

Thank you for handling the booking and helping me navigate a first time trip in the digital world 😄 We had a wonderful trip. The hotel in Boston was centrally located for walking. Wish we had gone a day earlier because Boston is a cool place. We booked excursions thru Holland. Acadia was a nice trip.
Our favorite trip was in Quebec City. Awesome trip!! By far the best!! Would stay another day at Quebec City - loved it.

Best. Trip. Ever!
Reviewed By JSmoot - Dayton, OH | Traveled to London ~ England ~ Europe
A friend of mine who had happily used Kristen Kocher in the past to ask about a dream trip to Europe. Kristen replied quickly with several thorough plans and our trip quickly turned into a reality! It could not have gone better, I’ve never used a travel agent before and now won’t book a trip without her! She saved us so much headache. The time she saved us researching was worth it alone, but the small details, like making sure we all flew sitting next to each other, or sending us themed bracelets for our trips made it perfect. Can’t wait to plan another one!

Kristen planned a trip to Washington State. She booked all of the hotels, ferries, and created an incredible itenerary that included three National Parks (Mount Rainier, Olympic, and North Cascades) and downtown Seattle. She pays attention to detail (i.e. what time you have to get to the Hoh Rainforest to not have to wait in a two hour line.) She is quick and courteous to respond. It was so nice to just have to show up and enjoy a fabulously planned out amazing week! Thank you, Kristen! Looking forward to whatever you’re going to book for me next!

Trip of a Lifetime
Reviewed By Grandparents - Lexington, KY | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
First of all, it was an amazing experience for us all. Well worth every penny!
My overall impression after being on 15 other cruises was that Disney does it better in almost every way.
Best entertainment I have ever experienced on any cruise. Service was outstanding, especially with the children. The ship was well designed and spacious. The decor was pure Disney and just beautiful.
One of my favorite things was the service you provided by getting the early dinner seating. The late seating would have been a disaster with our group.
Our absolute favorite thing was experiencing the magic of Disney through the eyes of our grandchildren. It doesn’t get better than that!
Thank You for providing your service and helping to make our spring break, the trip of a lifetime.

First Cruise was Amazing

When I had the opportunity to go on a spring break trip with my three teen boys, all my friends suggested a cruise! I had never cruised before , nor had I used a travel agent. Kristen helped me choose a ship, booked our airfare, and answered all my questions! She even made sure my exchange student had the right travel documents! I will definately be using Kristen for my spring break travels next year! Maybe not a cruise, but for sure the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas!
